BENEFITS

Enterprise Infrastructure, Simple Setup

Guaranteed resources

Your VM comes with reserved vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage. The resources are assigned to your server, so performance stays predictable even under sustained load.

Cloud-level resilience

Virtual Machines run on the same platform as Advanced Hosting Public Cloud, with distributed storage, triple replication, and automatic failover. Planned maintenance uses live migration, so your VM stays up.

Simple server control

Manage the server your way. Use full root access over SSH for complete control, or add Webuzo if you’d rather manage things through a web panel.

A/VM PLANS

Select the Right VM for Your Stack

Choose a virtual machine for websites, CMS, CRM, business applications, moderate-load databases, APIs, data processing, compilation, and CI/CD workloads.

COMPARISON

Why A/VM Is Stronger Than a Regular VPS

Regular VPS
Usually tied to one physical host server
Gives limited visibility into the hardware behind your server.
Host failure can take all VPSs on that server offline
Recovery after host failure can range from minutes to days
Planned maintenance can require a VPS restart
Local disks can become a failure point
Older CPU generations are common across standard VPS providers
DDR4 memory is still common on older platforms
Disk performance can depend on local host load
Backups often cover files or snapshots only
A/VM
Cloud cluster architecture, with no single physical point of failure
Uses clear platform specs: AMD EPYC, DDR5, and enterprise NVMe.
HA evacuation restarts A/VM on healthy cluster hardware
Uses automatic failover to restore the VM on healthy hardware.
Uses live migration to support maintenance without routine restart.
Stores data on distributed NVMe with triple replication.
Runs on 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors with Zen 5 architecture.
Uses DDR5-6400 memory for higher application bandwidth.
Distributed storage reduces storage-level noisy-neighbor impact.
Paid full-VM backups protect the whole disk crash-consistently.

NETWORK

Infrastructure at the heart of Europe’s internet: Amsterdam

Host your virtual machine in Amsterdam, keeping European users close to your application. Digital Realty infrastructure and direct connectivity through AMS-IX and NL-IX help support low latency, fast routing, and stable access across Europe. The facility also uses redundant engineering systems, physical security, video surveillance, and multi-level access control to support stable infrastructure operation.

COMPARISON

Virtual Machine or Public Cloud?

Both products run on the same Advanced Hosting cloud platform. The difference is how much infrastructure your project needs.
Choose Virtual Machine when
You need one reliable server
Your workload is stable and predictable
You want a fixed monthly price
You run a website, store, CRM, mail server, internal service, or small app
You manage the server through SSH or Webuzo
You want a simple setup
Choose Public Cloud when
You need several virtual machines
Your resource needs change over time
You want a resource pool with room to scale
You run a larger setup with multiple services or environments
You need Managed Kubernetes, load balancers, private networks, virtual routers, floating IPs, or API-based management
You want to build and expand a full cloud environment
BENEFITS

Virtual Machines for Every One-Server Workload

Websites and online stores

Run business websites, CMS projects, ecommerce stores, and moderate-load databases on a VM with fixed resources and predictable monthly cost.

CPU-focused tasks

Choose CPU-focused VM plans for workloads such as data processing, compilation, CI/CD, and high-load APIs, where compute matters more than extra RAM.

Small applications and APIs

Deploy small apps or API services that need stable compute, RAM, and NVMe storage without a complex cloud environment.

CRM, mail, and internal services

Host corporate mail, CRM systems, internal tools, and business applications on one server with full administrative control.

FAQ

Answering All Your Questions About Our Virtual Machine

What is an Advanced Hosting Virtual Machine?

Advanced Hosting Virtual Machine is a virtual server with guaranteed vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage. It runs on the same enterprise cloud platform as Advanced Hosting Public Cloud, but is designed for simpler one-server projects.

How is a virtual machine different from a regular VPS?

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eA regular VPS often depends on one physical server and its local disks. Advanced Hosting Virtual Machines use cloud platform resources, distributed storage, triple replication, and automatic failover, so the VM is not tied to one physical host.u003c/spanu003e

What can I run on a Virtual Machine?

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eYou can run websites, online stores, CMS projects, CRM systems, corporate mail, internal services, small applications, moderate-load databases, APIs, CI/CD tasks, compilation workloads, and data processing tasks.u003c/spanu003e

Do I get root access?

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eYes. You get full root access over SSH, so you can install software, configure the operating system, and run the services your project needs.u003c/spanu003e

Can I manage the VM without using SSH for every task?

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eYes. Webuzo is available on request. It lets you manage domains, DNS, websites, applications, mail, databases, FTP, SSL certificates, backups, firewall settings, IP blocking, and spam protection through a web panel. The Webuzo license is included in the VM tariff.u003c/spanu003e

What happens if the physical server fails?rn

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eIf a physical host becomes unavailable, the VM automatically restarts on healthy hardware. Data is stored with triple replication across cluster nodes to reduce the risk of data loss from hardware failure.u003c/spanu003e

Does maintenance on your side cause downtime for my VM?rn

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eNo. Planned platform maintenance uses live migration to move your VM between nodes without restarting it, so routine updates don’t interrupt your service. u003c/spanu003e

What traffic and IP resources are included?rn

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eEach VM plan includes 1 public IPv4 address and 5 TB of outbound traffic. Incoming traffic is free. You can add up to 2 extra public IPv4 addresses for €3/month each.u003c/spanu003e

Can I move to another A/VM plan later?rn

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eYes, you can choose another A/VM configuration and move the content yourself when your project needs more resources.u003c/spanu003e

Can I back up the entire VM, not just my website?rn

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eYes. Full-VM backup is available as a paid add-on. It’s a byte-level, crash-consistent backup of your whole disk, stored separately from your compute node so it survives a hardware failure – separate from the site-level scheduled backups available through Webuzo. u003c/spanu003e

When should I choose Public Cloud instead?rn

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eChoose Public Cloud when your project needs several VMs, Managed Kubernetes, load balancers, private networks, virtual routers, floating IPs, or API-based infrastructure management. A virtual machine is the better fit when one server is enough.u003c/spanu003e

Which operating systems are available?

u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eAvailable images include CentOS Stream 9/10, Debian 12/13, and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04.u003c/spanu003e
