KVM vs OpenVZ
KVM Virtualisation
KVM hardware virtualisation gives you a truly isolated virtual machine. Every NorwayVPS.com plan uses full KVM — no OpenVZ, no container-based limitations.
KVM creates a fully isolated virtual machine with its own kernel space. Your VPS cannot be affected by other tenants' kernel activity. Memory, CPU and I/O are isolated at the hardware level via AMD SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) extension.
Ryzen VPSFull KVM means Docker, Docker Compose, Podman, K3s Kubernetes and LXC all work out of the box — no workarounds. OpenVZ prevents these because containers share the host kernel. KVM exposes the full Linux kernel to your VPS.
Linux VPS NorwayOnly KVM can run Windows Server as a guest OS. Aurora, Viking and Norse plans support Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 (180-day evaluation license) via KVM hardware virtualisation. OpenVZ cannot run Windows.
Windows VPS NorwayKVM allocates dedicated RAM to your VPS. It cannot be borrowed by neighbours. With OpenVZ, providers can overcommit memory — meaning your VPS may have less RAM than advertised under load. KVM guarantees your allocation.
Cheap VPS NorwayOur KVM hypervisor passes through AMD SVM hardware virtualisation, AVX-512 and hardware AES acceleration to your VPS. This enables nested virtualisation, high-performance cryptography and hardware-accelerated workloads.
Ryzen VPSKVM lets you boot any kernel — including custom-compiled kernels, gVisor, Firecracker or kernel module-dependent software like WireGuard (pre-5.6 kernels), ZFS, DRBD and proprietary drivers.
