Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a KVM VPS?
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is the virtualization technology built into the Linux kernel. Each KVM VPS is a complete virtual machine with its own kernel, virtual hardware and allocated CPU, RAM and SSD storage, isolated from every other customer on the host. Your operating system sees it as a real server.
Why KVM Instead of a Container VPS?
Container platforms such as OpenVZ or LXC share one host kernel between all customers, which limits what you can install. With KVM you can load kernel modules, run Docker and WireGuard, upgrade the kernel yourself or install Windows Server — nothing is off-limits.
What Does KVM Stand For?
Kernel-based Virtual Machine. It’s the virtualization layer built into Linux and used by many of the world’s largest cloud platforms.
Is a KVM VPS the Same as a Dedicated Server?
Not quite. A KVM VPS shares physical hardware with other virtual machines, but it is fully isolated and behaves like its own server. If you need an entire physical machine, see our dedicated servers.
Which Operating Systems Can I Install?
Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and Windows Server. Windows needs at least 50 GB of disk, so it runs on plans with 60 GB storage or more. In the USA you can also choose AlmaLinux.
Can I Run Docker on a KVM VPS?
Yes. KVM gives you your own kernel, so Docker, Docker Compose and lightweight Kubernetes such as k3s run without any special configuration.
Can I Upgrade My Plan Later?
Yes. Open a support ticket and we’ll move your VPS to a larger plan when you need more CPU, RAM or storage.
Is There a Money-Back Guarantee?
Yes. If you’re not happy within the first 7 days, ask for a refund — no questions asked. The refund is available once per customer for each data center location. Accounts registered from the same IP address or paying with the same payment method count as the same customer. Payment fees are deducted as described in our Refund Policy.
