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
- Root, or the SSH key you pasted. Linux VPS with root.
- Your own IPv4. Why IPv4 still matters.
- Your own disk. We do not snapshot it yet. Backups.
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.
