VDS KVM vs VPS LXC

Two products, two different scenarios. VDS KVM is the right pick when you need hardware isolation, your own kernel, or non-Linux operating systems.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about VDS servers.

What's the difference between VDS KVM and VPS LXC?

VDS runs on KVM — full hardware virtualization with its own kernel, VM-level isolation and support for Linux, Windows, BSD or custom ISOs. VPS LXC is OS-level virtualization with near-native Linux performance, very low overhead and lower cost per resource, but runs only Linux distributions and uses the host's kernel. Pick VDS when you need Windows, kernel modules, nested virtualization, a K8s control plane or any mixed-OS scenario. VPS LXC is the optimal choice for Linux web apps, microservices and CI runners.

How long does VDS activation take?

The server is live in approximately 10 minutes after payment confirmation. You'll receive root credentials and panel access details by email. Choose your OS at checkout from over 400 available templates.

What operating systems can I install?

Over 400 options: all popular Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, Fedora, Arch, Alpine, etc.), Windows Server 2019/2022, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and custom ISOs uploaded in the client area.

How does Ceph Cluster 3x replication work?

VDS storage is distributed across a Ceph cluster with automatic triple replication on separate physical nodes. If one node fails, data remains immediately accessible from the other 2 replicas — zero data loss, zero storage downtime.

What DDoS protection is included?

RTBH (Remotely Triggered Black Hole) filtering on BGP uplinks with continuous sFlow monitoring on edge routers. Volumetric L3/L4 attacks (UDP flood, SYN amplification) are stopped automatically via null-routing at upstream transit providers. For Layer 7 attacks we recommend WAF + rate limiting at the application level.

Can I create backups and snapshots?

Yes, both are free and on-demand. Snapshots = fast point-in-time recovery (useful before risky updates). Backups = full copy of the VDS kept on separate storage (useful for disaster recovery). No hidden costs, no limits.

Can I run Docker, Kubernetes, or nested virtualization?

Yes. KVM full virtualization gives you your own kernel + full CPU flags (including VT-x/AMD-V). You can run Docker, K8s, nested Proxmox, Vagrant, or any other hypervisor inside.

How does the noVNC console work?

Right from the control panel, click "Open Console" and noVNC opens in your browser — no plugins, no VPN, no separate VNC client. Useful for debugging an OS that won't boot, initial network configuration, or repairs in rescue mode.

Can I migrate from VDS to a dedicated server?

Yes — seamless migration to our Enterprise (Rack) or Blade Server packages. You keep the same network infrastructure (local peering, DDoS mitigation, Bucharest data center). We help with rsync/snapshots for transfers without long downtime.

How is local peering configured?

The data-center operator has direct peering at local IXPs (DSIX, SBIX, 4IXP, LOCIX) with most ISPs and CDNs in Romania and Europe — minimal latency for local traffic. BGP routing uses RPKI signed announcements and MANRS-aligned filtering at the data-center network level.

Can I upgrade to a higher plan?

Yes, with no downtime for vCPU or RAM upgrades (hot-resize). Storage upgrades require a short restart. You don't lose data, the IP stays the same, the OS stays the same.

What is the minimum contract length?

Monthly contract, no minimum term. You can cancel anytime from the panel.
