KVM VPS: your own kernel, Windows, and when you need it
KVM virtualisation works differently from container-based alternatives, and the difference shows. With KVM your server gets its own kernel — you are effectively running a full virtual machine rather than a walled-off slice of a shared system.
What that actually gives you
You can run Windows. Container virtualisation ties you to Linux; KVM does not.
You can modify the kernel. Load your own modules, change kernel parameters, run Docker or WireGuard without restrictions from the host.
Better isolation. What other customers do on the same machine affects you less.
When you need this
For a simple website or bot, a budget VPS is fine. KVM becomes interesting once you run software that reaches deep into the system: virtualisation inside your server, VPN solutions, certain databases, or simply Windows applications.
Not sure? Start on budget and move up when you hit something. That is cheaper than over-buying from the start.
What you get
Our KVM VPS starts at €3.40 per month with NVMe storage and full root or Administrator access. You pick your operating system, Windows included.
