Rent a vServer & benefit from top features
Unlimited root access to your virtual server
You have control over your own system. You can manage and configure the vServer as you wish. This gives you a wide range of options when realising your projects.
More flexibility and freedom for software and technologies
One advantage over web hosting tariffs is the individual design of your vServer. Decide on your operating system, the PHP version, the use of server-side caching or other additional applications. You can freely distribute the resources of your vServer to the desired applications.
True full virtualisation based on KVM
The type of virtualisation contributes to the performance, scalability and independence of the virtual server. KVM is a full virtualisation that allows full console access. You can install your own kernels and are also completely free to choose your own operating system and ISO images.

The professional server control panel KeyHelp Pro is available to you free of charge as a Keyweb customer and guarantees comfortable server administration.
Alternatively, server administration is also possible with the fee-based Plesk.

No matter how much traffic runs through your rented vServer - as with all Keyweb products, there are no extra costs for you.
SSD hard disks for fast response times
The vServers are based on hardware servers that are equipped with powerful and durable brand-name hardware. This not only guarantees the performance of the vServers, but also contributes to sustainable hosting.
Free choice of operating system
When it comes to operating systems, you have a choice between Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and SuSE, among others. We will be happy to advise you on all the options.
What is the vServer suitable for?
- development and operation of extensive web applications

FAQ about vServer
A vServer is a virtualised server that is created on a dedicated (physical) server. Therefore, several vServers of different users can be created on one dedicated server. The vServers "share" the resources of the dedicated server.
Advantages of vServers include:
- the affordable price
- higher sustainability, as not every vServer needs its own hardware
One hardware server is divided into several virtual servers with the help of special so-called virtualisation software, whereby each of these virtual servers has its own operating system.
On the one hand, this makes better use of the hardware server's resources, and on the other hand, it makes it possible to operate a virtual server very cost-efficiently.
You enjoy the advantages of your own server in terms of performance and data security. With independent operating systems, data access from another (virtual) server is prevented, so that your data is similarly well protected as on a dedicated server.
- use of the resources of a hardware server
- division into virtual servers using software
- data security similar to dedicated servers
The type of virtualisation contributes to the performance, scalability and independence of our virtual servers.
The virtualisation technology KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) impresses with its special performance.
KVM is full virtualisation, with the added value that you get full console access, can install your own kernels and are not restricted in your choice of operating system and ISO images.
Those who want to operate a vServer ideally already have sound knowledge in the area of server administration. The maintenance of the server as well as the updates and therefore the security are the customer's responsibility. For small website projects, a web hosting plan is more suitable as an entry-level solution.
If you would like to rent and operate a vServer but do not have the necessary knowledge, the Managed Service or a Managed Server would be the right solution for you.
In general, a vServer is also suitable for larger websites and shops. However, this is strongly depending on the individual size and the functions of the project. Furthermore, the number of accesses should also be taken into consideration. If the stability of the server needs to be guaranteed at all times, a virtual dedicated server would be the better solution for your project.
Both solutions are virtual servers. With a VPS (Virtual Dedicated Server), the booked resources can be guaranteed at any time. With a shared virtual server (vServer), the performance can also be subject to fluctuations to a certain degree. This can happen in particular if the number of accesses to the vServers of others, which are also located on the same dedicated server, is very high.
You can find out more about this topic in this guide.
A vServer is more powerful than a web hosting plan.
With the virtual server, in short vServer, you combine the advantages of a shared environment, i.e. shared web hosting, with the performance advantages of your own server. Simple use, optimal performance - that's what distinguishes this server solution. A vServer is suitable for more extensive web applications which, for example, require additional services in the background.
- easy to use
- higher performance than a web hosting tariff
- more flexibility
As a Keyweb customer, you can install all the programmes you want on the Virtual Server, configure your system freely and manage it with KeyHelp® or Plesk. For example, different users with different access rights can be created.
With our vServers, you also have full root access and administration rights, which gives you the freedom and flexibility to customise the operating system and application software to your needs. With Keyweb, you are free to choose your operating system. The individual configuration allows you to flexibly adapt and use your personal virtual server according to your needs.
- Installation of all programmes
- free configuration
- full root access
- flexible adjustment
