Virtualization & VDS
Set up, configure and troubleshoot every HyperDC service: VPS, VDS, dedicated, macOS, GPU and Arm64 servers, hosting, email, SSL, control panels and game servers.
- VDS and nested virtualization: run VMs inside your server At HyperDC, a VDS always offers nested virtualization. Check that the CPU extensions are visible, then run ESXi, Proxmox VE, Hyper-V, KVM and more inside your server. Intermediate 20 min
- Run Hyper-V virtual machines on a Windows VDS A Windows VDS runs Hyper-V thanks to nested virtualization. Because the server has one public address, guests use a NAT network: set it up once, then create VMs and publish their ports. Advanced 40 min
- Use WSL 2 on Windows Server: Linux tools and Docker WSL 2 runs a real Linux kernel next to Windows Server, which needs nested virtualization. Install it with one command, set up your distribution, add Docker Engine and reach Linux services from outside. Intermediate 25 min
- Install Proxmox VE on Debian 13 with a NAT network for guests Proxmox VE installs on top of Debian 13. Prepare the host name, add the Proxmox repository, install the kernel and packages, then build a NAT bridge so guests share the server's single public address. Advanced 60 min
- Create KVM virtual machines with libvirt on a Linux VDS With nested virtualization, a Linux VDS can host its own KVM guests. A cloud image and virt-install's cloud-init support give you a ready VM with your SSH key in a few minutes, without a graphical installer. Advanced 30 min
- Nested virtualization problems: KVM, Hyper-V, WSL 2 and emulators When a hypervisor, WSL 2 or an emulator says virtualization is not available, check the server type first, then the component that is missing. The common messages and their fixes, for Linux and Windows. Intermediate 15 min
