The difference is the processor architecture: it runs 64-bit Arm (AArch64) code, so arm64 binaries and container images run natively, without emulation. Choose it when you build or ship software for Arm, when your stack already publishes arm64 builds, or when you want your services on Arm servers. Keep software that exists only for x86 on a Linux VPS.

There is no cross-compiler toolchain and no emulation layer to maintain. - Release binaries for linux/arm64 - Native extensions built on Arm - Test results from the real architecture ### Multi-architecture container images Build the linux/arm64 variant of your images natively with Docker Buildx, push it next to the amd64 variant and publish one multi-platform tag, so every user pulls the right image for their machine. - Native arm64 layers, no emulation - One tag for arm64 and amd64 - Your own registry or Docker Hub root@arm64: \~ root@arm64:\~# uname -m aarch64 root@arm64:\~# docker build -t app . Successfully tagged app:latest root@arm64:\~# docker run app uname -m aarch64 root@arm64:\~# ### CI runners for Arm Register the server as a self-hosted runner for GitHub Actions or GitLab, or as a Jenkins or Buildkite agent, and add arm64 jobs to the pipelines you already have, on a runner that only your projects use. ### Arm-native web servers and APIs Serve websites, APIs and background workers with Nginx, Caddy, Node.js, Python, Go, PHP or Java, all of which run natively on arm64, with PostgreSQL, MySQL or Redis next to them. ### Testing software for Arm devices Gateways, edge boxes and single-board computers often run 64-bit Arm Linux too. Build and test their software on a server that is always online, then ship the same arm64 binaries to your devices. ### Cost-efficient scale-out Spread stateless web services, queue workers and caches over several Arm64 servers behind a load balancer, and add servers as traffic grows instead of moving everything to one bigger machine. ## Technical specifications What every plan on this page shares. vCPU, memory and storage differ by plan and are listed with each plan.

An Arm64 VPS is a virtual private server whose processor architecture is 64-bit Arm, also called AArch64 or arm64, instead of x86. It has its own share of processor, memory and storage, and you get full root access to install and configure the software yourself, as on any of our virtual servers. ### Are Arm64, AArch64 and ARM64 the same? Yes. AArch64 is Arm's name for its 64-bit execution state, Linux reports it as aarch64 in the output of uname -m, and Debian-based distributions and Docker call the same architecture arm64. Software built for any of these names runs on your server. ### Will my software run on Arm64? Most open-source server software does: web servers, databases, language runtimes such as Node.js, Python, Go, Java, .NET, PHP and Rust, and many Docker images are published for arm64. Software that exists only for x86, such as some closed-source agents or tools, has to be rebuilt for arm64 or replaced. Check the vendor's download page or the image's platform list before you move. ### Can I run x86 programs on an Arm64 server? Not natively. Programs built for x86 need user-mode emulation through binfmt\_misc, which is fine for an occasional tool or a cross-build step but much slower than native code. For production, use arm64 builds of your software, or choose a Linux VPS for software that exists only for x86. ### How do I build multi-architecture container images? Build the linux/arm64 image natively on your Arm64 server and the linux/amd64 image on an x86 server, then publish both under one tag with docker buildx imagetools create, or add both servers as nodes of one Docker Buildx builder. Native builds avoid the slowdown of emulation, which matters most for compiled languages and large images. ### Can I use it as a CI runner? Yes. Register it as a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner, a GitLab Runner, or a Jenkins or Buildkite agent: all of them run on Linux arm64. Your arm64 jobs then build and test natively, next to the x86 runners you already have. ### Which operating systems can I install? The systems each plan offers are listed on this page and in the order form; pick one when you order. They are 64-bit Arm builds, so the packages you install from the system's repositories are arm64 packages as well. ### How do I connect to my Arm64 VPS? We email the IP address and root login details as soon as the server is ready. Connect with any SSH client, such as Terminal on macOS and Linux or Windows Terminal and PuTTY on Windows, then add your SSH key and turn off password logins. ### Arm64 VPS or Arm64 VDS: which one do I need? Both are 64-bit Arm virtual servers with full root access. An Arm64 VDS adds nested virtualization, so you can run 64-bit Arm virtual machines of your own inside it, for example a clean VM for every build. Choose an Arm64 VPS when your workload runs directly on the server, and an Arm64 VDS when you need virtual machines inside it. ### Can I run Docker and Kubernetes on it? Yes. Docker Engine, Docker Compose, Podman and lightweight Kubernetes distributions such as k3s are available for arm64, and the steps in our Docker and k3s guides apply to Arm64 servers too. Pull the arm64 or multi-platform variant of an image, or build your own on the server. ### Which billing cycles can I choose? Every plan lists the billing cycles it is offered with. Switch the cycle above the plans to compare prices; longer cycles show the saving against monthly billing when there is one. ### How do I pay? Choose one of the payment methods offered at checkout. Every invoice also stays available in the client area, where you can pay it online. ### Where do I manage my service after ordering? Your service appears in the client area as soon as it is set up. From there you can manage it, pay invoices and open support tickets. ## Questions before you order? Send us a message and our team will help you choose the right service.
