FAQ

Which hardware is used for the virtual servers?​

Our hypervisors are running on Intel® Xeon® Scalable as well as on third generation AMD EPYC™ CPUs. In terms of memory, all hypervisors are equipped with registered ECC RAM DIMMs. We're continuously upgrading our hardware to match the current industry standards. Also, servers are equipped with redundant power supplies to reduce the likelihood of service interruptions due to power issues.

Which hypervisor is used?​

We're using KVM/QEMU as hypervisor.

Do you offer custom server configurations?​

You are able to increase the performance of baseline servers with our upgrade packages in terms of CPU cores, memory and network speed. Thus, you are able to customize your server's specs within those boundaries. However, we're not offering any custom configurations in terms of QEMU-specific configurations (e.g. additional PCIe devices, sound cards, etc.)

What is the vps-utils package for?​

This package is always pre-installed on Linux-based servers (Automatic installation as well as on Linux-based one-click application installers). Its purpose is to enable a smoother experience when attaching private networks or additional disks to your virtual server. From a technical perspective, the package installs custom udev rules that listen to hardware events that indicate a hot-plugging of a virtual network card or virtual disk.

When a new virtual disk is being detected, the script speaks to our VPS2day Service API and automatically creates a primary partition on it, formats it with the selected file system, mounts your disk and creates a fstab entry for it. When a disk is being resized, the partition as well as the filesystem will be automatically extended.

When a new virtual network card is being detected, the DHCP client for that new interface will be executed to ensure that it immediately gets its IP address configured. If you're feeling uncomfortable having that package installed on your server, you can remove it. However, please notice that the features mentioned above will no longer work in this case, and you'll need to manually do those things. Our support can only assist you with related issues if the package is present on your system.

Which network connection do the hypervisors have?​

All hypervisors are at least connected with a redundant 10 Gbit/s connection. By default, all servers have a bandwidth limit of 100 Mbit/s which can be upgraded to 1 Gbit/s using our Gigabit Upgrade. The connection of the hypervisor is shared across all virtual servers that are running on it.
