Managed does not mean restricted
eWebGuru has hosted Linux servers in Indian data centres since 2007, and every plan here is fully managed. That covers the initial build, RAID configuration, kernel and sysctl tuning, your web and database stack, security patching, proactive hardware monitoring and physical work at the rack — the part you cannot do from Noida or Nagpur at 2 a.m.
You keep full SSH root access throughout. Managed means you are not the only person responsible when something breaks at 3 a.m.
Need .NET, MSSQL or Windows-only software instead? Our Windows dedicated servers run on the same hardware.

Why Linux costs less on the same hardware
| Operating system | Licence / month |
|---|---|
| AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux / CentOS Stream | Free |
| Ubuntu / Debian | Free |
| Any other Linux distro you request | Free |
| Windows Server (1 CPU) | ₹2,000 |
| Windows Server (2 CPU) | ₹4,000 |
On a dual-socket server, Linux saves ₹4,000 every month — ₹48,000 a year. Skip a commercial panel and you save that licence too.
Linux distributions we deploy
Every distribution below is installed and managed at no extra cost. When a release nears end of life, we flag it and plan the upgrade with you.
AlmaLinux
The default for cPanel/WHM and DirectAdmin, and the natural landing point if you are moving off CentOS. Binary-compatible with RHEL, with a ten-year support lifecycle.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| AlmaLinux 10.2 | Supported |
| AlmaLinux 9.8 | Supported |
| AlmaLinux 8.10 | Supported |
Rocky Linux
The other RHEL-compatible option we deploy. For most workloads the choice comes down to which one your administrators already know — both have the same long lifecycle and control panel support.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| Rocky Linux 10.x | Supported |
| Rocky Linux 9.x | Supported |
| Rocky Linux 8.x | Supported |
CentOS Stream
Stream 10 and Stream 9 are supported. Stream 8 is end of life and we will not deploy it on a new build. Still on CentOS 7 or 8? We cross-grade you to AlmaLinux during migration at no charge.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| CentOS Stream 10 | Supported |
| CentOS Stream 9 | Supported |
| CentOS Stream 8 | End of life |
| CentOS 7 / CentOS 8 | End of life |
Ubuntu
The right pick for Docker, Kubernetes, Node.js, Python and most cloud-native stacks. We deploy LTS releases unless you ask otherwise — interim releases move too fast for production.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu 26.04 LTS | Supported |
| Ubuntu 25.10 | End of life |
| Ubuntu 25.04 | End of life |
Debian
Minimal footprint and long release cycles — the usual choice for hand-tuned LEMP builds and appliance-style deployments. Debian 11 reaches LTS end of life on 31 August 2026.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| Debian 13 (Trixie) | Supported |
| Debian 12 (Bookworm) | Supported |
| Debian 11 (Bullseye) | LTS ends 31 Aug 2026 |
CloudLinux
Running many sites or users on one server? CloudLinux LVE sets per-account CPU, memory, I/O and process limits, so one runaway site cannot take the whole server down. Licensed separately.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| CloudLinux 10 | Supported |
| CloudLinux 9 | Supported |
| CloudLinux 8 | Supported |
FreeBSD
Not Linux, but we support it — ZFS, jails and pf still make BSD a strong choice for firewall, storage and mail workloads.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| FreeBSD 15.1 | In production |
Fedora Server
Short support cycles make Fedora a development and CI/CD choice rather than a production one. We will deploy it if you ask — and tell you why AlmaLinux is usually better for anything customer-facing.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| Fedora Server 44 | Supported |
| Fedora Server 43 | Supported |
Custom ISO
Send us the image and we mount and install it through IPMI — Gentoo, Arch, Proxmox, a hardened in-house build or an appliance ISO. If it boots, we will install it.
| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| Send us your ISO | Free |
| Mount and install via IPMI | Handled by us |
| Self-service OS reload | IPMI/KVM included |

- 30-day minimum term
This is where your Linux server actually lives
Not a stock photo. This is one of our live racks in a Tier-IV CtrlS facility — the same hardware, cabling and cooling your server sits in from the day it is provisioned. When a disk fails at 2 a.m., someone walks to the rack.
- Tier-IV facilities in Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Pune, operated by CtrlS.
- Data resident in India — INR billing, GST invoices and IST support hours.
- Hands at the rack — hardware troubleshooting and replacement by our own team.
- Also outside India — USA and Singapore under the same account.
What happens when hardware fails
Components eventually fail. What matters is how quickly a person reaches the machine, and what happens to your data meanwhile.
The failure is detected
A failed disk, bad memory or dead board shows up in our monitoring or in a ticket you raise. Either way it lands with the engineer on shift.
Software or hardware?
Before opening the rack we confirm the fault is physical. A full filesystem, kernel panic or runaway process often looks like dying hardware — those are fixed over SSH.
An engineer reaches the machine
Our data centre team goes to the rack, identifies the failed part and takes a replacement from spares held on site.
The part is replaced
Disk, RAM or motherboard is swapped and the server is brought back up and tested — usually in about two hours, never more than six.
The failed disk stays with your server
We don't bin a failed hard disk. We reattach it to your server as a secondary drive so you can try to pull data off it — which matters if your last backup is not current.
You are updated
We tell you what failed, what was replaced and whether anything needs your attention — a RAID rebuild, a service restart or a backup schedule worth revisiting.
A failed disk is usually not a dead disk — data is often still readable. Keeping it attached is not a substitute for backups, but it has saved customers before.
Choosing a control panel for your Linux server
With full root access, the panel choice is yours: a commercial panel, a free one, or none at all.

Our practical recommendation
Hosting many websites with per-account isolation? cPanel/WHM on AlmaLinux with CloudLinux is the combination we deploy most often. Running a single application — a Laravel API, a Django app, a Node service? Skip the panel: a panel-free NGINX or LiteSpeed build leaves more RAM for your app and one less thing to patch. We fully manage servers with no control panel too.
Linux dedicated server questions, answered
Root access, distributions, panels, upgrades and hardware support on managed Linux servers.
Do I get full root access on a managed Linux server?
Yes. Every Linux dedicated server includes full SSH root access. Fully managed means our team also has access to patch and monitor the machine — it does not restrict what you can do.
How much does a Linux dedicated server cost in India?
From ₹8,500 per month for a Xeon E3-1230 with 32 GB RAM and 960 GB SSD, fully managed. Linux distributions are free, so there is no OS licence on your bill.
Which Linux distribution should I choose?
AlmaLinux for cPanel or DirectAdmin. Ubuntu LTS for Docker, Kubernetes and modern application stacks. Debian for a hand-tuned minimal LEMP build. Not sure? Tell us what you run and we will recommend one.
How long does provisioning take?
Typically under 6 hours, with a maximum of 24 hours depending on configuration and stock. Custom builds needing specific RAID cards or memory may take longer — we tell you the timeline before you pay.
Can I install cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin?
Yes, at the monthly licence rates listed above. We pre-install and configure your panel during onboarding. Webmin/Virtualmin and CentOS Web Panel are free, or you can run no panel at all.
Can I install my own custom Linux ISO?
Yes. Send us the ISO and we install it through IPMI. You also get IPMI/KVM access yourself for reboots, BIOS access and OS reloads.
What bandwidth is included?
Every plan includes a 1 Gbps uplink and 10 TB of monthly transfer. Higher allowances are available — tell us your expected volume.
What RAID levels are supported?
RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10, depending on chassis and disk count. 4-bay chassis suit RAID 1; 8-bay and 12-bay chassis support RAID 5 and RAID 10.
Can I upgrade RAM or add disks later?
Yes. RAM upgrades run from ₹3,000/month for 8 GB to ₹1,44,000/month for 512 GB. Extra SSDs are ₹4,000 (960 GB), ₹8,000 (1.92 TB) and ₹12,000 (3.84 TB) a month. Upgrades are scheduled with our team.
How many IP addresses are included?
One dedicated IPv4 address. Additional blocks are available — 5 IPs for ₹1,250/month, 13 for ₹3,250 and 29 for ₹7,250 — with justified usage under RIR policy.
What is the minimum contract period?
30 days.
What happens if hardware fails?
A failed disk, RAM module or motherboard is replaced within 6 hours at most, and generally in about 2. If a hard disk fails, we reattach it to your server as a secondary drive so you can try to recover data from it. See the full process.
Ready to move to bare metal?
A physical Linux server in an Indian Tier-IV data centre with full root access, your choice of distribution and managed support — from ₹8,500 a month, migration included.
