Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VPS
The safe default: the most guides, the most packages, security fixes until 2029.
The image
Your server starts from Ubuntu's own official cloud image, the one the project publishes for cloud servers, checked against its published checksum before it's used. Nothing is added to it but cloud-init's first-boot setup: your network addresses, your SSH keys, your hostname, and any app, packages or setup script you picked. Updates come straight from Ubuntu's repositories with apt.
Support window
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS gets security updates from the Ubuntu project until April 2029.
