The platform
High-performance Cloud VPS, built on KVM
With our Cloud VPS technology, a powerful server is divided into multiple isolated environments running on hypervisor nodes. Each environment has its own server software, providing complete independence for your VPS — build, test and deploy your website on our cloud in minutes and access limitless resources with instant scalability.
- SSD cloud storage in RAID 10 — data replicated across multiple disks and servers
- Server snapshots — save your VM state and roll back at any time
- Self-healing hardware — automatic migration to healthy nodes on failure
- Instant upgrades — more RAM, CPU or disk space is just a click away
SSD Cloud Storage
Select the amount of cloud-based SSD storage you need — your data is replicated across multiple disks and servers for safety.
RAM & CPU
Choose your RAM and vCPU allocation. Need more later? Resources scale instantly with a single click — no migration required.
Choose Your OS
Linux or Windows — more than 100 Quick Start OS templates installed automatically in a few clicks, or mount your own ISOs.
24/7 Monitoring
All monitored around the clock by our technical support staff on a redundant, high-speed network spanning multiple UK data centres.
Control panel
Powered by Virtualizor & KVM
Every Cloud VPS includes the Virtualizor control panel — deploy, manage and monitor your KVM server with a single click. Power controls, VNC console, rescue mode, OS reinstalls and real-time statistics, all from one intuitive dashboard.

Virtualisation
What is KVM — and what does it do?
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a Linux hypervisor built into the kernel. It turns physical servers into multiple fully isolated virtual machines — each with its own virtual CPU, RAM, disk and kernel. Unlike containers, which share one operating system, each KVM VPS behaves like its own dedicated server.
On Fast2host, KVM powers every Cloud VPS through Virtualizor. When you order, a VM is carved out of enterprise hardware in our Cambridge data centre with the CPU, memory and SSD you choose. You get full root access, snapshots, backups and one-click OS reinstalls — the platform handles provisioning, networking and storage while you run your stack.
KVM uses hardware virtualisation extensions (Intel VT-x / AMD-V) so guest operating systems run at near-native speed with minimal overhead — ideal when you need real isolation, custom software or predictable resources without buying bare metal.
KVM vs shared hosting
Isolation
KVM: Dedicated VM — own kernel & resources
Shared: Shared OS — noisy neighbours possible
Software
KVM: Root access, any stack or kernel module
Shared: Limited to host-approved software
Performance
KVM: Reserved vCPU/RAM — consistent speed
Shared: Best-effort — spikes affect everyone
Operating systems
KVM: Linux, Windows or custom ISO
Shared: Host-controlled PHP/MySQL only

Key benefits of KVM on Fast2host
Speed, security and flexibility — without managing physical hardware yourself.
Full control
Root access, custom kernels, sysctl tuning and any software stack — not possible on shared hosting.
Scale on demand
Add vCPU, RAM or disk in Virtualizor without rebuilding the server or migrating to new hardware.
Any operating system
Linux, Windows Server or your own ISO — KVM is OS-neutral, unlike container-only platforms.
Predictable performance
Dedicated vCPU and RAM allocations mean consistent speed for apps, APIs and databases.
Cost-effective power
Dedicated-server performance for a fraction of the price — pay only for the resources you configure.
Common uses for a KVM VPS
If shared hosting feels limiting but a dedicated server is overkill, KVM sits in the sweet spot.
- Production websites & APIs
- MySQL, PostgreSQL & Redis
- Staging & CI/CD environments
- .NET, ASP.NET & Windows apps
- eCommerce & high-traffic stores
- Game servers & voice comms

A Cloud VPS gives you dedicated CPU, RAM and SSD storage in an isolated KVM environment — with full root access and near-bare-metal performance. Choose a VPS when shared hosting limits you (custom software, heavier traffic, staging environments or multiple sites) but you don't yet need a whole physical server. Fast2host Cloud VPS plans start from £14.99/month with instant one-click scaling.
