Your Configuration
Enterprise Ceph Storage with 3x Replication and Self-Healing
Every LXC VPS runs on a Ceph distributed storage cluster backed by enterprise NVMe SSDs. CRUSH placement ensures every block you write is replicated 3 times across separate physical nodes, so a single failed disk, host, or even rack does not interrupt your VPS. There is no single point of failure in the storage path, and the cluster spreads I/O across our 10 Gbps backbone for predictable performance under mixed load.
When a node drops, the Ceph monitor quorum (Paxos) detects the outage within seconds and the cluster begins to rebuild the missing replicas onto healthy OSDs automatically. Your VPS keeps reading and writing the entire time, served by the surviving copies, while replication levels are restored in the background. For an extra, off-cluster copy of your data, pair this with a Proxmox Backup Server retention plan with content-defined deduplication.
Triple replication
Every block lands on 3 different OSDs across separate physical hosts. Lose two nodes simultaneously and your data is still readable; lose one and the cluster keeps serving without hesitation.
Self-healing cluster
When an OSD or a whole node fails, Ceph automatically re-replicates the affected placement groups onto healthy OSDs to restore the 3x replication target. Your VPS keeps running with zero downtime through the rebuild.
NVMe performance
OSDs run on enterprise NVMe SSDs with cluster-wide caching across the storage network. You get predictable IOPS under mixed read and write load, far ahead of single-host SSD or RAID setups that throttle the moment one disk gets busy.
The control panel you get with every VPS
Every LXC virtual server ships with a fully managed self-service panel, integrated with our WHMCS billing platform. Power actions, backups, firewall rules, snapshots, an in-browser console and a one-click reinstall, all without opening a ticket.

RTBH DDoS Mitigation with sFlow Telemetry
We operate Remotely Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) filtering on our BGP uplinks, continuously monitored via sFlow telemetry on our edge routers. When traffic to a destination IP spikes above baseline, our sFlow collector detects the anomaly in real time and triggers a blackhole route over iBGP. The blackhole community is automatically announced to our upstream Transit Providers, so the attack traffic is dropped at their network edge before it ever reaches our network, while the rest of your infrastructure stays online.
Your other LXC containers keep serving traffic while the attacked IP is blackholed. The shared Proxmox host and network path stay healthy, so a flood targeted at one tenant never becomes a shared outage for your other workloads on the platform. Simply ask our NOC to trigger the blackhole for a given IP. RTBH is effective against volumetric L3/L4 floods (UDP, SYN, amplification). Layer 7 application-layer attacks fall outside the scope of RTBH and require application-level defenses such as a WAF, rate limiting, or caching that you implement inside your container.
VPS hosting FAQ
Common questions about our LXC VPS service. For anything else, see the contact page.
What is an LXC VPS and how does it differ from a KVM VDS?
LXC (Linux Containers) is OS-level virtualization sharing the host's kernel, giving near-native CPU and disk performance with extremely low overhead. It runs any Linux distribution but cannot run other operating systems or modify kernel modules. KVM VDS provides full hardware-level virtualization with its own kernel, supporting Windows, BSD, custom kernels and CD/DVD ISO mounting.
Choose LXC for Linux web stacks, databases and microservices that need maximum density and performance per euro; choose KVM VDS for non-Linux operating systems or workloads that need kernel-level isolation.
Where is the VPS hosted?
In our own DreamServer datacenter in Bucharest, Romania. EU jurisdiction, GDPR compliant. We are also a RIPE NCC LIR (AS57050) and operate the DSIX internet exchange, so the network path you get is the same one we run for our own production.
How fast is provisioning?
VPS instances are provisioned automatically within 10 minutes of payment. The customer panel is available immediately and gives you full self-service: power actions, backups, firewall rules, snapshots, an in-browser Xterm.js console and a one-click reinstall.
How is VPS storage replicated?
Every LXC VPS runs on top of a Ceph distributed storage pool with size=3. Each block you write is split into placement groups, and CRUSH places three copies of every PG on separate OSDs across separate physical nodes. The cluster does not acknowledge a write until all three replicas are durable on disk, so you never lose data because of a single host or disk failure.
With three replicas spread across three nodes, the cluster keeps serving reads and writes through the loss of two simultaneous nodes. Storage and the network path are tied together over our 10 Gbps backbone, so I/O stays predictable even during rebuilds.
What happens if a storage node fails?
The Ceph monitor quorum (Paxos) detects an OSD or full node failure within seconds and marks the affected OSDs out of the cluster map. CRUSH then rebalances the placement groups that lost a copy onto the remaining healthy OSDs, automatically rebuilding the missing replicas in the background.
Your VPS continues to read and write the entire time, served by the surviving copies, and the rebuild rate is throttled so it does not impact production I/O. When a replacement disk or node comes back online, the cluster brings it into rotation and rebalances back to a balanced layout. For an extra off-cluster copy of your data, see Proxmox Backup Server.
Are backups included free?
Backups are an optional add-on, configured per VPS in the customer panel. Stored on a separate Proxmox Backup Server with client-side AES-256 encryption and content-defined deduplication. Standard retention is 7 daily, 4 weekly, 3 monthly. Pricing is per GB of backup space used.
What about DDoS protection?
Every VPS is covered by RTBH (Remotely Triggered Black Hole) filtering on our BGP uplinks, continuously fed by sFlow telemetry on our edge routers. When a destination IP is flooded, the blackhole community is automatically announced to upstream transit providers so the attack is dropped at their network edge.
RTBH is effective against L3/L4 volumetric floods (UDP, SYN, amplification). Layer 7 attacks need application-level defenses inside your container.
Can I get IPv6?
Yes. Every VPS includes IPv6 in dual-stack with IPv4. Larger IPv6 allocations are available on request and we run our own IPv6 PI space as a RIPE NCC LIR.
Can I upgrade resources later?
Yes. CPU, RAM, SSD, IPv4, IPv6, backup space and max backups are all configurable from the customer panel and the changes take effect on next reboot. SSD storage can be expanded online without downtime. Need a heavier setup? Move to a dedicated server; we handle the migration.
What does the managed customer panel cover?
Power actions (start, reboot, stop, shut down), Backups + Backup Jobs + Schedules, Firewall + Firewall Options, Resource Graphs (CPU, Memory, Network, Disk I/O), one-click Reinstallation from a list of LXC templates, Resource Notifications, Snapshots, Task History, VM Power Tasks and an in-browser Xterm.js Console. Read more about the managed administration bundle.
Which Linux distributions can I install?
The reinstall panel ships with current AlmaLinux 9, Debian 12 and 13, Devuan 5, Rocky Linux 9, Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04 / 24.04 LTS. Templates are kept up to date. Custom or community templates can be added on request.
Can I run Docker, Podman or Kubernetes inside an LXC?
Yes. We enable nested cgroups, kernel keyring access and the FUSE / overlay features needed for modern container runtimes. Docker and Podman work out of the box; lightweight Kubernetes distributions like k3s and microk8s run reliably. For full control-plane Kubernetes clusters or workloads that mount custom kernel modules, prefer KVM VDS.
What network rate is included?
Default port speed is 80 MB/s (640 Mbps). Steps up to 1 Gbps and uncapped (Unlimited) are available as a config option in the customer panel and reflected on the order form. Bandwidth is metered separately, with generous monthly quotas; uncapped traffic profiles are available on request.
Can I bring my own SSH key?
Yes. The customer panel accepts an SSH public key at deploy and on every reinstall, baked into the LXC template before first boot. The matching private key never leaves your machine. We never need or store your private key.
Do you offer 24/7 support?
Yes, our NOC is on-call 24/7 for infrastructure incidents (datacenter, network, hypervisor, storage). Customer-application support during business hours is included; out-of-hours application-level support and escalation routing are part of the optional managed administration retainer.
What payment methods do you accept?
Stripe (cards), bank transfer in EUR or RON, and on-account billing for established customers. Self-service ordering issues a pro-forma invoice; the final fiscal invoice is generated automatically on payment.
Can I get RON invoices?
Yes. We invoice in EUR by default; RON invoices on request, converted at the BNR exchange rate of the invoice date. VAT is applied per Romanian / EU rules; reverse-charge VAT is available for valid VAT-registered EU customers outside Romania.
Do you sign NDAs and Data Processing Agreements?
Yes. NDA is standard before any technical scoping. For workloads that touch personal data we sign a GDPR-aligned DPA. We are an EU-based company; data we process on your behalf stays in the EU unless you explicitly direct us otherwise.
What is the SLA?
99.9% monthly uptime for the VPS service, with proportional service credits for breach. Scheduled maintenance windows are announced via the customer panel and the status blog. Network-side redundancy is provided by multi-homed BGP transit on our LIR (AS57050) plus DSIX peering.
Can I migrate from another provider?
Yes. The most common path is to provision a new VPS, restore your application from a backup or perform a live rsync migration, then cut over DNS. The optional managed administration team handles the entire migration as a fixed-scope project, including a written runbook and acceptance test.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There is no minimum term. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle; we keep one final backup for 7 days after termination at no extra charge so you can pull data if needed. No exit fees, no clawbacks.
Do I get root access?
Yes. The VPS is yours; you get full root inside the container plus an in-browser Xterm.js console as an out-of-band fallback. We do not maintain a hidden management user inside the guest. Anything we run for managed customers is documented in your runbook in your repo.
