Kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) is an open source virtualization technology built into Linux. Specifically, with KVM you can turn Linux into a hypervisor that allows a host machine to run multiple virtual environments and called virtual machines (VMs) or guests but before we see this we must see that it is a VPS.
Traditional hosting services are being largely replaced by technologies such as VPS Hosting and SSD Hosting. The benefits they offer outweigh the lower cost implications of upgrading to these hosting technologies. So what is a virtual private server? A virtual private server (VPS), as the name suggests, is a private server that is installed on a computer running multiple VPSs. This single computer can host multiple of these VPS servers without any of them hampering the performance of other servers on the same network. This virtualization is achieved through software called Hypervisor that segments the master hardware into smaller units. Each VPS is capable of running its own operating system and will have dedicated resources regardless of what other servers on the network are doing at any given time.
KVM is an acronym for Kernel-based Virtual Machine which is a virtualization technology built into the Linux Kernel. KVM allows you to run the kernel on the root node, making it possible to run other operating systems. KVM requires the hardware to run its own virtualization extensions, but this shouldn’t pose a problem since most non-Atom Intel processors and AMD processors come with these extensions. Virtualization is achieved with the help of a hypervisor.
KVM VPS gives you complete autonomy to set your resource values according to your application requirements. Provides virtualization of only existing system hardware resources. Therefore, all shared resources such as disk space, CPU, I / O, and other network resources will be equally distributed by the hypervisor.
A KVM VPS Hosting service offers additional benefits to those offered by standard VPS Hosting providers. With the Nodored KVM VPS plan, you get free migration, dedicated IPs, Neustar DDoS protection, first-class network built with Tier 1 ISPs, DRN support, CentOS 6 / CentOS 7 / Ubuntu 16.04 / Fedora 23 / Debian availability 8, Plesk Onyx, WHMCS, Tier IV Data Center, and more.
