Today, I intended to upload PTE questions to the server and was notified by the vendor about the outdated operating system on the VPS (CentOS7).

Earlier, Richard from Indonesia assisted in uploading the frontend code to the server and noted that the server’s age caused compatibility issues with certain npm packages. He dedicated time to downgrade the frontend code to match the VPS server’s requirements.

The VPS’s operating system version stands as a critical factor to choose a vendor.

The operating system version plays a critical role in selecting a VPS. Previously, I had a satisfactory experience with shared hosting. However, as my PTE backend operates on SpringBoot, which is compatible only with VPS, I opted for a different vendor.

Upon contacting the vendor, I was informed that the only way to upgrade the OS is by switching to a different package. With only four months remaining on my current package, I’ve decided to continue operating until its expiration. Additionally, I’ve disabled the auto-renewal feature for the current plan.

今天我想把PTE题目导入服务器中，发现服务商提示我VPS的操作系统过时了。之前印度尼西亚的男孩子帮我把前端代码导到服务器时，就发现这个操作系统比较老，一些新的包都没法用，然后他花了一些时间把我的前端代码进行降级。 

选用服务器，这个操作系统是一个指标。我之前使用一家服务商的共享主机，用得蛮好的。因为我这个PTE程序用SpringBoot，只能放在VPS，我就到另一个服务商开通了VPS机。
