VPS LXC vs VDS KVM

Two products, two different scenarios. LXC VPS shines when you run Linux exclusively and need density.

FAQ

Frequently Asked

Answers to the most common questions about LXC VPS.

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

LXC is OS-level virtualization that shares the host kernel — near-native CPU and disk performance with very low overhead, but only runs Linux and you can't modify the kernel. KVM is full hardware virtualization with its own kernel — supports Windows, BSD, custom ISOs and kernel modules. For pure Linux workloads that want maximum density we recommend LXC. For anything else (Windows, mixed OSes, K8s control plane with kernel modules) — VDS KVM.

Can I run Docker or Kubernetes on LXC VPS?

Yes. We enable nested cgroups, kernel keyring and FUSE/overlay — Docker and Podman work out of the box. Lightweight Kubernetes distributions like k3s and microk8s run reliably. For large K8s clusters we recommend VDS KVM (kernel modules + full isolation).

How does Ceph 3x replication work?

Every VPS runs on a Ceph pool with size=3. The CRUSH algorithm places 3 copies of every block on separate OSDs across different physical nodes. If an OSD or whole node fails, Ceph monitors detect it in seconds and start automatic rebalancing — your VPS keeps reading and writing the entire time.

How long does provisioning take?

The container is live within 10 minutes of payment confirmation. You receive the root credentials, IP and Xterm.js console access by email.

How is backup priced?

Backups are an optional add-on, configurable per VPS in the panel. Stored on a separate Proxmox Backup Server with content-defined deduplication and client-side AES-256 encryption. Standard retention: 7 daily, 4 weekly, 3 monthly. Pricing is per GB of backup space used.

What DDoS protection is included?

RTBH (Remotely Triggered Black Hole) filtering on our BGP uplinks, continuously fed by sFlow telemetry from edge routers. L3/L4 volumetric attacks (UDP flood, SYN, amplification) are null-routed at upstream providers before they reach our network. For Layer 7 (HTTP flood) attacks we recommend WAF + rate limiting at the application level.

Can I upgrade resources later?

Yes. CPU, RAM, SSD, IPv4, IPv6, backup space and backup count are all configurable from the panel. Changes take effect on the next container reboot — no reinstall, no new IP.

What network speed is included?

Default port speed is 80 MB/s (640 Mbps). Upgrade options to 1 Gbps and Unlimited are available. The data-center operator has direct peering at local IXPs (DSIX, SBIX, 4IXP, LOCIX) with most Romanian ISPs — minimal latency for local users.

Can I migrate to VDS KVM or Dedicated later?

Yes. We help with rsync or snapshot restore for a smooth transition. The IP stays in the same network, only the virtualization type changes.

What's the minimum contract term?

Monthly contract, no minimum term. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. We keep one final backup for 7 days after termination for emergency recovery.
