Hosting Option?
KVM (Kernel Virtualized Machine) is another method of virtualization in which the VPS operates its own server on the host node. KVM provides full kernel virtualization where the user has total control over every aspect of the server. In comparison to a virtualization such as 'OpenVZ' -- where only a shared kernel is used. KVM offers more features for the user who isn't quite ready to step to a dedicated server but still wants to run applications such as Docker.
KVM is recommended for those who want full control similar to a dedicated server.
Compared to your traditional VPS on SSD's, yes. Our Cloud infrastructure is built on NVMe drives. These drives provide an amazing amount of read/write capability allowing them to perform operations much quicker over your traditional SSD VPS. While 6 RAID SSD drives can perform quite well. Our NVMe put into a large array as we are doing then you end up with very very fast parallel capable distributed storage.
With this we can say that our Cloud based KVM servers are definitely faster then your traditional SSD VPS. :)
It's called a "cloud server" due to the distributed storage that works behind your KVM. This storage allows your data to split between many more parallel NVMe drives that work in unison. The result of this is that you are given the redundancy of the cloud with the speed of massive parallel architecture. At KnownHost, your hardware has redundancy built in, making it possible for an entire server failure to have zero data loss and so that the virtual machine can be booted onto new hardware in a matter of minutes. This, combined with backup snapshots and many configuration optimizations means that you won't find a more resilient platform than our Cloud KVM servers.
Utilizing the My KnownHost portal, you can upgrade or downgrade your server as needed. Requiring no downtime, the process is quick and seamless. Going to be running a heavy application for a bit? Needing extra resources? Upgrade the server through the portal. Once you're finished or you find yourself no longer needing said resources, you can just as easily downgrade through the same portal.
If you're unsure, contact our Billing team -- we'll help!
All of our services are built with white-label in mind. We provide them in a manner that doesn't brand the service as KnownHost. This allows you to market it as you please. Let us help you grow your own company utilizing our services.
