A VDS (virtual dedicated server) is our larger class of virtual server: nested virtualization, more vCPU and memory, NVMe SSD storage and root or administrator access. Choose Linux, Windows or macOS and compare the live plans below.

Each line has its own page with every plan, image and location. Prices come live from our billing system.
Our larger KVM tier for databases, busy stores and CI runners: nested virtualization, more vCPU and RAM on NVMe storage, root access and free control panels.
Windows Server on NVMe for SQL Server, ERP and busy IIS sites: nested virtualization for Hyper-V or WSL 2, Remote Desktop and a free mail server.
Larger Macs on Apple hardware for big Xcode projects, parallel tests and team CI, with nested virtualization, NVMe storage and macOS Catalina to Tahoe.
Every VDS line offers nested virtualization, so your server can run virtual machines of its own: KVM or Proxmox VE on Linux, Hyper-V and WSL 2 on Windows.
Linux, Windows and macOS VDS plans run on NVMe SSD storage, for databases, builds and virtual machines that wait on the disk.
VDS plans are our higher tier, with larger vCPU and memory allocations than our VPS plans for busy databases and applications.
Root over SSH on Linux, Administrator over Remote Desktop on Windows, and Screen Sharing with SSH on macOS.
Every plan lists unlimited bandwidth, so there is no traffic tier to choose when you order.
Free weekly and monthly backups come with every plan. For data that changes every day, keep copies of your own as well.
Linux and Windows VDS run in the US, Europe and Asia, macOS VDS in the US and Europe; pick yours in the order form.
Add disk space in the order form on every line, without moving to a bigger plan.
Servers, invoices and support tickets are managed in the same client area.
Choose the operating system your software needs first; the plan size comes second.

Virtual private server
Virtual dedicated server
A whole physical machine
Start with a VPS, move to a VDS when you need more power or your own virtual machines, and choose a dedicated server when you need the whole machine.
VPS plans are the affordable way to start, including Apple silicon Macs on request. Dedicated servers give you every core.
The newest supported version of each system is shown here; every page of a server line lists all versions with their support status. The order form lists the images available for each plan.

VDS stands for virtual dedicated server. We call a server a VDS when nested virtualization is available, so you can run your own virtual machines inside it. Our VDS plans also come with larger vCPU and memory allocations, NVMe SSD storage and root or administrator access.
Both are virtual servers with root or administrator access, the same kind of images and the same locations. A VDS adds nested virtualization, so you can run your own virtual machines, Hyper-V, WSL 2 or emulators inside it, and comes with larger vCPU and memory allocations on NVMe SSD storage. A VPS is the affordable starting point.
No. A VDS is a virtual machine: its vCPU, memory and NVMe storage are allocated to your server, in larger amounts than a VPS. A dedicated server is a whole physical machine that no one else uses. Choose dedicated when you need every core of the hardware or your own hypervisor on bare metal.
Run software that needs the processor's virtualization extensions inside your server: KVM or Proxmox VE on Linux, the Hyper-V role or WSL 2 on Windows Server, emulators or test labs. Nested machines add some overhead, so try heavy workloads on your plan before you rely on them.
Move up when you need to run virtual machines or emulators inside your server, when your database or build jobs wait on the disk, or when memory runs short at peak times. Nested virtualization, NVMe storage and larger allocations give those workloads room.
Linux and Windows VDS plans run in Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Istanbul or Singapore. macOS VDS plans run in Dallas, Los Angeles, Amsterdam or Frankfurt. You choose the location in the order form.
Choose by operating system first: Linux for web stacks, databases and KVM or Proxmox VE labs, Windows for SQL Server, .NET and Hyper-V, macOS for large Xcode projects and CI. Then pick the plan size; you can move to a bigger plan later, or to a dedicated server when you need the whole machine.
Linux and Windows VDS plans include one dedicated IPv4 address, so your server is reachable directly and you can point domains and SSL certificates at it. On macOS VDS plans, a dedicated IPv4 address is an option in the order form. Contact us if your project needs more addresses.
Yes. Free weekly and monthly backups are included with every plan. For data that changes every day, also keep copies of your own, for example with an off-site backup tool, so you can restore exactly the version you need.
Yes. VDS plans are covered by our refund policy: cancel within 30 days of payment and ask for a refund. For macOS services any setup cost is deducted from the refund, and payments made in cryptocurrency are final.
