Hello there,

An 32bit (x86) architecture can be used for up to 4gb of RAM, unless you use the PAE kernel patch. A 64bit architecture (x64) can be used for as much RAM as the motherboard can have. I your case, since you only have 1gb of RAM, you can use either architectures, unless you are planning at some point to upgrade to a VPS with more than 4gb of RAM, then I would suggest you use the 32bit OS.

thanks ... but what OS should i install? Debian centOS or ubuntu ... or something else?

 

Wordpress is a PHP and MySQL based blogging software. PHP and MySQL can easily be installed on any Linux OS but I would suggest you to install CentOS on the VPS. CentOS is the most widely used OS in the hosting industry and almost any issue can be fixed quickly.

 

I vote for Centos also! And i would recommend the 63bit version

 

i read different articles that debian is good too and is very stable ... now i think between debian and centos (x64 both), any opinion?

 

Hello there,

I would go with CentOS, as stated prior, it is used heavily within the industry and has very good support behind it.

Chris

 

thanks for the advice

 

+1 bit ----------

 

i tryed centOS 6.2 but i couldnt make apache2 and phpmyadmin to work (2-3 hours i tryed to make it) ... debian worked for me

 

I prefer to use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. As you might have know managing PHP, MySQL and other software will be OS dependable, so better to use an OS you are more comfortable with

 

It seems to me Ubuntu will be good.
Try it.

 

I highly recommend CentOS. In my opinion, it's the easiest to user and user friendly. You can easily install the things required to run what you want.

Kind Regards,
RTH.

 

a have a few days and i use debian ans is working just fine

 

you can install centos OS and us NGINX as revers proxy, so it will give better performance.

 

I would go with CentOS linux operating system. WordPress supports 64-bit. I would certainly choose 64-bit CentOS.

 

Agreed, CentOS 64-bit would be best option for web hosting demands.

 

@vServer Center i have the vps from you )

 

Yes, CentOS is best used for VPS. This does not mean you are good and others, but technical support is easier.

 

i can`t make lighttpd work ..... any help?
when i go to my vps adress has a error loading page.
