KVM VPS hosting
KVM VPS on
full virtual machines.
Every instance runs on libvirt/KVM with its own kernel. That is full hardware virtualization. Some budget hosts sell containers under the VPS name, so it's worth checking which one you're buying.
- libvirt / QEMU-KVM

Under the hood
KVM next to container hosting
Each VM boots its own kernel, so you can run any Linux or Windows Server.
Runs Linux, Windows and your usual stack
Why it matters
What KVM means for you
Some providers sell container-based instances (OpenVZ, LXC) and call them a VPS. Ours run on KVM.
Each instance is a full virtual machine with its own kernel. With OpenVZ or LXC hosting, every customer shares the host's kernel.
Run Linux or Windows (BYOL). Hardware virtualization doesn't depend on the host's kernel, so you aren't tied to one OS like you are with containers.
QEMU/KVM keeps your instance separate as its own virtual machine. Containers are only separated by namespaces inside one shared kernel.
Comparison
KVM vs. container-based VPS
Two different technologies sold under the same name, side by side.
| Feature | Iotamine (KVM) | Container-based |
|---|---|---|
| Isolation | Full hardware virtualization | Shared host kernel |
| Guest OS choice | Any Linux distro, or Windows | Locked to host kernel version |
| Custom kernels | Fully supported | Not possible |
| Resource isolation | Enforced by the hypervisor | Best-effort, can be noisy |
| Root/admin access | Full root or administrator | Often restricted |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Kernel-based Virtual Machine. It's the hardware virtualization built into the Linux kernel. Every Iotamine instance runs as a full virtual machine under libvirt/QEMU-KVM, with its own kernel.
Some providers sell OpenVZ or LXC instances and call them a VPS too. Those are containers that share the host's kernel. Isolation is weaker, and you can't run a different OS or kernel. A KVM instance is a fully independent virtual machine.
Yes. Windows Server runs as a normal guest OS on BYOL (bring your own license), and the setup is automated.
Yes. You get full root (Linux) or administrator (Windows) access on every instance. The kernel is your own, so there's nothing for us to restrict.
No. Every resource has the same hourly rate whatever runs on it. Use the calculator above for an exact quote.
Yes. Your instance has its own kernel instead of sharing the host's, so you can change it just as you would on a physical server.
