KVM VPS

A KVM VPS is a real virtual machine, not a container. Root, a dedicated IPv4, NVMe. Live plans stay on the VPS page.

A KVM VPS is a real virtual machine. You boot your own kernel. OpenVZ-style products share a kernel and behave like a container. VGNCloud sells the first kind: a Linux box with root, a dedicated IPv4, and NVMe. Live sizes and prices stay on the VPS page.

KVM, not a shared kernel

People search KVM VPS when a cheap container looked like a server until they needed a kernel module, their own network stack, or isolation from a noisy neighbour. KVM gives you a machine. That is what we provision. We do not list a second SKU called OpenVZ.

What that means on day one

VPS and VDS are labels. The product is the machine. VPS vs VDS. If the search was "own VPS", read your own VPS.

When you do not need KVM

A brochure site does not need a kernel. That is web hosting. A game server has a home on ValueGameNode. Buy a KVM VPS when you will run the guest.

After you buy

First hour: CLOUD panel and SSH. Later you can move up a plan from billing. Upgrade a VPS plan.

Live plans: VPS. The rest of the shop: cloud.

Questions

Is your VPS KVM or OpenVZ?+

KVM. You get your own kernel. We do not sell an OpenVZ-style container that shares a kernel with neighbours.

Do I get root on a KVM VPS?+

Yes. Root, or the SSH key you pasted, is on the first boot. That is the same on every size we list.

Where are the live KVM VPS prices?+

On the VPS page and the cloud catalogue. This article does not reprint cores or prices so they cannot drift.
