When provisioning bare metal or dedicated infrastructure with Hivelocity, selecting the right operating system is critical for optimizing system performance, security, and software compatibility. To fulfill this need, Hivelocity provides a versatile selection of vendor OS cloud images directly through the myVelocity portal, allowing for seamless automated server deployment. This automated provisioning pipeline eliminates the manual overhead traditionally associated with setting up bare metal, taking your server from a raw hardware state to a fully accessible, production-ready environment in minutes.
The list below highlights the primary operating systems available for deployment as of August 2026 from the Hivelocity.net portal. However, this selection is not exhaustive; Hivelocity also supports additional operating systems, and our available distributions are continuously updated to include the latest stable versions. Because software support and OS availability change over time, we highly recommend checking our official website at hivelocity.net and reviewing the specific product page for your server to view the exact, real-time operating system options currently available.
