How a KVM VPS works

One physical machine is split into isolated virtual servers, each keeping its own CPU, memory and disk space. KVM virtualizes at kernel level, so your VPS behaves as a standalone server and you hold the root account.

Day-to-day tasks run through Virtualizor: restart the server, load a fresh OS or check usage graphs in a few clicks. SSH is still there for anything you prefer to do from the command line.

What every VPS includes

Unrestricted root

Set up your own stack, panel, firewall or specialist software.

Virtualizor

Restarts, reinstalls and usage graphs in a single panel.

Reserved resources

The CPU, memory and disk belong to your VPS alone.

NVMe storage

Databases and apps respond without waiting on the disk.

EU infrastructure

Quick response times for visitors in every European country.

Ready in minutes

Usually your server is online as soon as payment clears.

Who chooses it

Working in a Microsoft environment with Remote Desktop? Our Windows VPS is built for exactly that, while cloud plans with more room to adjust live under Cloud VPS.

When you need a VPS

Shared hosting is ideal to get started, but at some point it reaches its limits: more traffic, heavier apps, special software or simply the need to be in control. That is where a Linux KVM VPS comes in.

KVM gives you real virtualization: your own kernel, your own CPU, RAM and disk resources, and full root access. Run Nginx, Docker, Node.js, Python, databases, game servers, a VPN or any stack you need, without limits from neighbouring accounts.

Managed with Virtualizor

Every VPS comes with the Virtualizor panel. From there you reboot, reinstall the OS, view resource graphs and access a console — useful if you lock yourself out of SSH.

VPS are hosted in European data centers on NVMe disks and are usually active within minutes of payment.

FAQ

Linux VPS questions

What do I use Virtualizor for?

It is the management panel for your VPS: restart it, switch the operating system, watch resource usage and adjust the basics. Root access over SSH stays exactly as it is.

Will I have root on the server?

Every Linux KVM plan ships with full root. You decide what gets installed, how the firewall is set and how the server is laid out.

How soon is it ready?

Once payment goes through, the VPS normally comes up straight away or within minutes. Login details arrive by email and also appear in your Client Area.

Do I need a VPS or is shared enough?

For a small site, shared costs less and needs no upkeep. A KVM VPS pays off once you want consistent performance, root, your own installs or extra resources.

Are cPanel and Plesk supported?

With root you can set up any compatible control panel, provided you hold the licence for it and the plan has enough resources.

Which countries host the servers?

VPS run in data centers in Germany, France or the Netherlands, depending on the plan, so response times stay low throughout Europe.

What about backups?

Available backup options differ per plan and are listed in the store. For data you cannot afford to lose, keeping your own copies as well is good practice.

What does ordering involve?

The button at the end of this page takes you to the WHMCS store. Pick a plan and billing period, pay, and the VPS shows up in your Client Area.

Which operating systems can I install?

Popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, depending on the templates available in Virtualizor.

Can I upgrade resources later?

Yes. You can move to a larger plan when you need more CPU, RAM or disk.

Who manages the operating system?

You have full control of the OS with root. We look after the hardware, network and platform, and support helps wherever you get stuck.

What if I lock myself out of SSH?

Virtualizor gives you a console and reinstall options, so you can get back into your server.
