Renting a vServer with root access always makes sense if you need an entry-level server solution for professional web applications and projects that exceed the capacities of a regular web hosting plan.

A virtual server is suitable for test and development environments, hosting multiple websites, optimised web infrastructure applications and much more.

The vServer with administration access allows you great flexibility in terms of the software and technologies used. So you benefit not only from its solid performance, but also from the very favourable price of the virtual servers.

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.

Virtual Server Symbol

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.

Gearwheels as settings symbol

User-friendly vServer administration software

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.

Symbol: Speed measurement

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.

Symbol: Hand pointing to two ticks

Virtual Server from Germany – Security & data protection according to GDPR guaranteed!

The vServers are located in Keyweb AG's data centers in Germany and are therefore subject to the German Federal Data Protection Act and the GDPR. Compliance with the strictest data protection regulations promises absolute security and confidentiality for your data towards third parties.

A regional server location also has a positive effect on server response times and loading times and therefore, for example, indirectly on the Google ranking of your website or online shop.

We make your backup easy! – And ensure that your company data is backed up.

We know that the topic of backup is a "necessary evil" for many companies – and at the same time it is extremely important. That's why we want to make it as easy as possible for you!

With Managed Backup, we have your back completely. We ensure that your backup is optimally set up and functional – you simply continue to take care of your business.

  • We work with you to select the right backup software and set it up for you.
  • After consulting with you, we set up your customised and desired backup intervals and the retention times for your data.
  • We implement your chosen backup strategy.
  • Your data can be restored once a month free of charge.
  • We check whether your backup has worked as planned. If this is not the case, we will initiate it again or let you know.

Of course, you can also book backup storage without our Managed Backup Service – whatever makes the most sense for you.

Simply select the desired backup option when ordering your server.

Easy and free setup and management of your vServer with KeyHelp®

When you rent a vServer from Keyweb, you also save on expensive licence fees.

Frequently asked questions about the virtual servers (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.

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

We are happy to support new customers in moving their data and systems from another hosting provider to us. Before we migrate data free of charge, we check the scope and extent to which we can migrate all systems. This requires a detailed list of all data and systems to be migrated in advance. After you have specified your migration request in the product configuration and we have received your order, we will contact you to discuss the necessary details for a data migration.
