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:
-
Containers (e.g., OpenVZ/LXC):
-
Share the host OS kernel.
-
Lightweight but limited in customization.
-
-
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.
