Nested virtualization

Nested dedicated servers with hardware virtualization support

Run hypervisors, containers and emulators inside your server. Nested dedicated plans pass the processor's virtualization extensions to your operating system, so tools that need them, such as Hyper-V, WSL 2, Docker Desktop, Proxmox VE or Android emulators, can run inside.

  • Virtualization extensions passed to your OS
  • Windows, Windows Server and Linux images
  • Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Helsinki or Istanbul
  • Add CPU, RAM, disk and IPv4 in the order form

Nested virtualization

Virtual machines inside your server

A typical VPS hides the processor's virtualization extensions (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) from the operating system, so software that needs them refuses to start. A nested dedicated server passes those extensions through to your system.

That turns your server into a host of its own: create virtual machines with Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, run WSL 2 and Docker Desktop on Windows, or start Android emulators that need hardware acceleration.

  • Hyper-V, WSL 2 and Docker Desktop on Windows
  • Proxmox VE, KVM or VirtualBox labs
  • Android emulators that need hardware acceleration
  • Network labs such as EVE-NG or GNS3
  • Sandboxes for testing images and installers
Built for labs and platforms

What nested plans give you

Scale CPU and RAM

Add CPU cores and memory in the order form when your nested machines need more room.

NVMe storage, expandable

Every plan runs on NVMe SSD storage, and you can add disk space in the order form.

Dedicated IPv4, more on request

Each plan includes a dedicated IPv4 address; add more in the order form for the machines you expose.

Windows and Linux images

Start from Windows Server, Windows desktop, Linux such as Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux, or Proxmox VE.

Free migration

Moving an existing lab or platform to us? Migration is included free with every plan.

US and European locations

Choose Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Helsinki or Istanbul when you order.

Virtualization extensions passed through

Intel VT-x or AMD-V reach your operating system, so Hyper-V, WSL 2, KVM and Android emulators can start inside your server.

Unlimited bandwidth

Every plan lists unlimited bandwidth, so there is no traffic tier to choose when you order.

Root or administrator access

Root on Linux and Administrator on Windows, so you can install hypervisors, emulators and any other software you need.

Use cases

What runs on a nested dedicated server

Hyper-V, WSL 2 and Docker Desktop

Build a full Windows development machine in the cloud: WSL 2 for Linux tooling, Docker Desktop for containers and Hyper-V for test VMs, all on one server you can reach from anywhere.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Send us a message and our team will reply by email.
What is a nested dedicated server?

It is a virtual server with dedicated resources whose processor virtualization extensions (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) are passed through to your operating system. That lets you run virtual machines, emulators and tools such as WSL 2 inside it, which an ordinary VPS does not allow.

Which software needs nested virtualization?

Anything that creates its own virtual machines: Hyper-V, WSL 2 and Docker Desktop on Windows, KVM, Proxmox VE, VirtualBox or VMware Workstation, Android emulators such as LDPlayer or BlueStacks, and network labs such as EVE-NG or GNS3.

Is performance the same as on a physical server?

Not quite. Every extra layer of virtualization adds some overhead, especially for disk and network heavy work inside the nested machines. For labs, development, testing and emulators that is rarely a problem; for production workloads that need the full machine, choose a dedicated server.

Can I run Docker on a nested dedicated server?

Yes. On Linux, Docker Engine runs as it would on any server. On Windows, Docker Desktop relies on WSL 2 or Hyper-V, which need the virtualization extensions that nested plans provide.

Can I add more resources later?

Yes. The order form offers additional CPU cores, memory, disk space and IPv4 addresses on top of each plan, and you can move to a bigger plan from the client area.

Which image should I choose for Hyper-V or WSL 2?

Choose Windows Server 2025 or 2022, or Windows desktop. Older images such as Windows Server 2012 R2 are still offered for compatibility, but Microsoft no longer ships free security updates for them. Microsoft documents nested Hyper-V with Hyper-V as the outer hypervisor; elsewhere it usually works but is outside Microsoft support, so try your setup on a smaller plan first.

Do I get full administrator access?

Yes. You get root access on Linux and Administrator access on Windows, so you can install hypervisors, emulators and any other software you need.

How is a nested dedicated server different from a VDS?

Both let you run virtual machines inside, because our VDS plans offer nested virtualization too. Nested dedicated plans are the line built around it: Windows desktop images next to Windows Server and Linux, and extra CPU cores, memory, disk space and IPv4 addresses in the order form. Choose a VDS for a ready-made Linux or Windows Server plan in more locations.

Which operating systems can I choose?

You can choose Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle Linux, CentOS Stream, CloudLinux OS, Fedora Server, openSUSE Leap, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Alpine Linux, Arch Linux, Kali Linux, Gentoo, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Windows Server, Windows (desktop), Proxmox VE and Hyper-V Server. The list on this page shows every version we install, with its support status; the order form lists the images available for each plan.

Can I add a control panel?

Yes. You can run cPanel & WHM, Plesk Obsidian, DirectAdmin, CyberPanel, aaPanel, HestiaCP, CloudPanel, Virtualmin, Webmin, ISPConfig, FASTPANEL, Control Web Panel, ispmanager, SolidCP, Coolify, CapRover and Dokploy; each one is listed on this page with the systems it runs on. Panels in the order form show their price there.

Which locations can I choose?

You choose the location when you order: Los Angeles US, Helsinki FL, Frankfurt DE and Istanbul TR.

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?
