Real hardware virtualization — not oversold containers. Every GetWebUp VPS runs on KVM with truly dedicated CPU and RAM, custom kernel support, full root and NVMe SSD, from our Mumbai & Delhi nodes.
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full hardware-virtualization hypervisor: each VPS behaves like its own physical machine with a dedicated kernel and truly isolated resources. Unlike container-based virtualization such as OpenVZ — where resources are frequently oversold and the kernel is shared — a KVM VPS gives you guaranteed CPU and RAM, the ability to run any OS and custom kernel, and the isolation that production workloads need.
| KVM (ours) | OpenVZ / containers | |
|---|---|---|
| Resources | Dedicated, guaranteed | Often oversold |
| Kernel | Your own | Shared host kernel |
| Run any OS | Yes (Linux & Windows) | Limited |
| Custom kernel modules | Yes | No |
A KVM VPS is a virtual server built on full hardware virtualization. Each VPS has its own kernel and dedicated, isolated CPU/RAM — behaving like a standalone physical machine.
For most use cases, yes. KVM provides guaranteed resources, a dedicated kernel and the ability to run any OS, whereas OpenVZ shares the host kernel and is more often oversold.
Yes. Because you have your own kernel and full root, KVM fully supports Docker, custom kernel modules, and even nested virtualization scenarios.
