KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is an advanced virtualization technology that powers AuxoDomain.com’s high-performance VPS plans, offering superior isolation, dedicated resources, and full server customization.

Understanding Virtualization

Virtualization allows a single physical server to operate as multiple independent virtual servers. There are two main types:

  1. Containers (e.g., OpenVZ/LXC):

    • Share the host OS kernel.

    • Lightweight but limited in customization.

  2. Virtual Machines (VMs) (e.g., KVM):

    • Each VM runs its own OS kernel.

    • Fully isolated with dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, disk).

Why KVM Is Superior for VPS Hosting

AuxoDomain’s KVM-based VPS provides:

  • Dedicated Resources: Guaranteed CPU/RAM (no "noisy neighbor" effect).

  • Full Root Access: Install custom kernels, Docker, VPNs (OpenVPN/WireGuard), or modify network settings (IPv4/IPv6).

  • Enhanced Security: Strong isolation between VPS instances.

  • Compatibility: Supports:

    • Latest Linux kernels

    • Containerized apps (Docker, Kubernetes)

    • Advanced networking setups

KVM vs. Older Technologies (OpenVZ)

If your current VPS uses OpenVZ (container-based):

  • No automatic upgrade to KVM (different architectures).

  • Migration required: Deploy a new KVM VPS at AuxoDomain.com and manually transfer your data.

Who Needs KVM VPS?

  • Developers needing custom environments.

  • Businesses running resource-heavy apps (e.g., databases, game servers).

  • Users prioritizing stability and security.
