Hi all,

I want to migrate my forum to a VPS
what is the best OS to use on VPS? Ubuntu or Almalinux

And is Contabo any good to use for Xenforo?

kind regards

Contabo

Very much oversold.

Try OVH ECO or Hetzner VPS instead.

Depending on your requirements and personal preference, I can't comment about AlmaLinux, as I only use Ubuntu.

Well only to have a good and smooth running xenforo forum. And send and receive email

What are you basing this on? Contabo scores higher than Hetzner, Vultr, and Digital Ocean at https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/screener

Both Red Hat (AlmaLinux or Rocky) and Ubuntu have very long support windows, so you're good with either from that point of view. I've found Red Hat variants to be a bit better from the point of view of stability, and a larger amount of hosting support, but frankly you'll not go wrong with either so long as it supports whatever you plan to use for either a web panel, cli solution like CentMinMod, or just plain cli.

I have been using AlmaLinux for some time and it works great.

Based on bad reviews mostly from lowendtalk.com and also my own experience.

Contabo is interesting, if you go there share your experience.

I migrated from OVH dedicated to Hetzner virtual early in the pandemic, running a few toys. I've reached out to their support only once via email. Don't rely on them for everything, some widgets are being done with other SASS providers.

I've had a VPS with Contabo for three years now. Never had any serious issues, and the few times I needed support, they handled it quickly.
