About Cloud VPS

Cloud-native VPSs are built for flexibility: hourly or per-minute billing, on-demand snapshots, instant provisioning and well-documented APIs for automation. Ideal for variable workloads (CI/CD, dev/staging, batch jobs) and modern cloud architectures where you want to destroy and rebuild instances in minutes. Providers like Scaleway, OVHcloud Public Cloud or Hetzner Cloud usually ship a rich admin panel, built-in load balancing and pre-baked images.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server?

A VPS shares a physical server's hardware with other VPSs through virtualisation, while a dedicated server is entirely yours. A VPS costs less but offers more limited raw performance.

Which hypervisor should I pick: KVM, OpenVZ or Xen?

KVM is the modern reference with full hardware isolation and near-native performance. OpenVZ is lighter but limited to Linux. Xen still powers some legacy platforms.

Should I go for SSD or NVMe storage?

NVMe delivers 3-5x more IOPS than classic SATA SSDs - critical for databases and I/O-heavy workloads. SSDs remain enough for most standard websites and applications.
