KVM VPS
What is a KVM VPS?
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualisation technology built into the Linux kernel. Unlike simple containerisation, each KVM VPS has its own kernel and isolated space, letting you run your Linux distributions as if they were on a dedicated server. It's the ideal solution for critical applications, production environments and stacks that require maximum compatibility with baremetal servers.
- Full KVM virtualisation
- Dedicated kernel and strong isolation
- Guaranteed NVMe resources
- Full root & SSH access
- DDoS protection included
- Multiple global locations, 24/7 support
KVM vs OpenVZ/LXC containers: what's the difference?
Not all VPS are equal: many low-cost plans rely on container virtualization (OpenVZ, LXC, Virtuozzo) where every client shares the host's Linux kernel. A KVM VPS boots its own kernel with truly reserved resources — the difference shows as soon as you need Docker, a VPN or stable performance under load.
Isolation
KVM VPS
Full hardware-level isolation: neighbours cannot read your memory or crash your environment.
OpenVZ/LXC containers
Process-level isolation only: a noisy neighbour can degrade everyone's performance.
OS choice
KVM VPS
Any Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky…) — reinstall anytime from the panel.
OpenVZ/LXC containers
Only the templates provided by the host, tied to the host kernel version.
Resources
KVM VPS
vCPU, RAM and NVMe reserved for you: no overselling of allocated memory.
OpenVZ/LXC containers
Frequently oversold: burst RAM disappears exactly when you need it.
Performance
KVM VPS
Near bare-metal performance thanks to virtio drivers and NVMe storage.
OpenVZ/LXC containers
Low overhead too, but capped by shared kernel limits and neighbours.

KVM VPS: your questions
Everything you need to know about KVM virtualisation on VPS.
A KVM VPS offers full virtualisation with its own kernel, providing better isolation, higher compatibility with Linux distributions and behaviour closer to a dedicated server. It's ideal for sensitive applications and production environments.
Yes. You can install major Linux server distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, etc.) and gain advanced control over system configuration, kernel modules and performance tuning.
Yes. Our KVM VPS rely on NVMe storage, modern vCPUs and a 10 Gbps network. Resources are guaranteed and can be upgraded at any time as your projects grow.
Our KVM VPS are available in 7 datacenters across Europe, the United States, Turkey and India. Deploy in the region closest to your users to minimise latency; European locations keep your data GDPR-compliant.
KVM VPS hosting means your virtual server runs on the KVM hypervisor built into the Linux kernel: each VPS boots its own kernel with reserved vCPU, RAM and NVMe storage. You get full root access and dedicated-server behaviour at VPS pricing — from €3.99/month at Infrawire.
