So, I’m looking to rent a VPS to host a site and stuff, there’s a reasonably priced provider in my country, the only thing is when I went to check the OS the machine runs I was expecting something like Ubuntu server, Debian or maybe some RHEL-compatible, what TF is cloud Linux? All that I could find online is the company’s site and not much more. Somebody knows if it’s a debian or a RHEL-like? What package system they use and such? Thanks.

What else do you need to know? CloudLinux is CentOS based and the best thing that happened to the hosting industry since cPanel. The ideia is that they isolate each cPanel account / customer from each other with very strict policies when it comes to resources, think kind of containerization but done in a better way for shared hosting.
They also have other products that include te ability to upgrade the kernel without reboots and a very solid kernel.

As far as I’m aware, CloudLinux is based on CentOS for older versions, and Alma Linux for newer versions, so it would be in the RHEL sphere of things.
They’re also the company that launched and continues to sponsor Alma Linux, a community run RHEL compatible distribution.
Yeah, it’s RHEL. It’s not worth paying for unless you’re doing something enterprise or CPanel. Better off just using Debian imo.
