On May 15th we asked our users to tell us which virtualization engine they most preferred as the basis of their cheap VPS hosting plans. After 9 days of voting and 327 unique votes, the answer is in, and the community has decidedly voted in favor of KVM virtualization.
While voting will remain open we grabbed the results as of May 24th (after 9 days of voting and 327 votes).
Recently we’ve published a number of guides about different virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen and OpenVZ. If you are not familiar with the differences you can start by reading a broad description of the three and then continue to learn more about KVM Virtualization followed by OpenVZ Virtualization.
Check out the results below:
While it is not surprising that KVM Virtualization was the preferred hypervisor engine according to our users, what is surprising is the extent to which it led other options, including OpenVZ and Xen. Both VMWare and Hyper-V tend to be more on the enterprise side of the game, but even still, they both beat Xen. While the whole “low end box” era of cheap VPS hosting started with OpenVZ it is clear that the transition to dedicated resources and enhanced security/neighbor protections offered by KVM is well under way. A few year ago a 2GB RAM OpenVZ VPS was very exciting — even though it would have likely been RAM oversold many times over. Today, there are no shortage of great deals available on inexpensive KVM based VPS options, many of which now offer RAM allocations in excess of 2GB for less than $10/month.
Today we are announcing the implementation of “Related Posts” on LowEndBox. This new feature utilizes software/machine learning to match up related posts with one another with the goal of helping our users find exactly what they are looking for easier and with more options – inexpensive VPS, web hosting, dedicated servers, and more.
Please let us know in the comments if you have any trouble with the new feature.
We will continue to put together these top lists once a year or perhaps a bit more often if the feedback is positive. As always, we are looking forward to your comments.
RackNerd, a favorite among the Low End Box community (and a Resident Host), is back with another exclusive offer for our users, this time with a variety of “High Storage” and “High CPU” offers on their KVM VPS product line hosted at their Los Angeles, CA based datacenter.

It is also worth noting that their Los Angeles network is “Asia Optimized” utilizing peering and connectivity from the likes of China Telecom and China Unicom for improved performance and reduced latency to Asia/China.

What makes this offer special, in their own words: “We’ve seen increased demand in our Los Angeles KVM VPS, and a huge part of that is thanks to the LowEndBox community.

These are powered by our same SSD cached configurations we use across all of our KVM VPS nodes, providing you with the best performance possible.

Hostigger is back with another exclusive offer for Low End Box readers, this time on a couple different VMware powered VPS options all with Windows or Linux O/S choices. The underlying servers are Intel Xeon E7’s with SSDs and 10 Gbit uplinks and are located in Istanbul, Turkey. For those reasons this offer is marked both “highcpu” and “exotic location” given its unique nature. You just can’t beat the price either at 40% off and starting at only $21.53/year for a 2GB VMware powered Windows VPS – wow!

Let’s Encrypt is a free https certificate you can install on your cheap VPS for free, browser-validated https. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through setting up Let’s Encrypt https on an nginx host running on Debian 10.
We’ll be installing nginx from scratch but not will not be getting into php-fpm and other extensions in this tutorial. I’ll be starting from a spanking new VPS on Vultr.
This tutorial assumes that you’ve already got your DNS records setup. In other words, if you’re setting up for www.example.com, then www.example.com already has an A record or CNAME that points to your VPS. Note that the certbot installer we’ll be using will query DNS, so this must be working properly.

1. What is a VPS?
"VPS" stands for virtual private server, and effectively means a virtual software instance running within a physical computer server. A virtual private server works like a dedicated physical server but relies on a virtualized software engine often referred to as a "hypervisor" to provide the interface between the physical server and the virtual instance (aka "vps") operating system.
2. Why Do I want a VPS?
By electing to use a "VPS" you are choosing to use a sliver of a physical dedicated server, which generally means lower costs, becuase you are only utilizing a piece of the phsyical capacities of the underlying server. Additionally VPS plans are often portable, providing easy migration from location to location and server to server along with being able to upgrade or downgrade your resources with only a few clicks (rather than having to change out physical server components, etc) as your needs dictate.
4. Where can I learn more?
LowEndBox has published an indepth frequently asked questions article on virtual private servers, why you want a cheap VPS, and lots more. If after reading you have more questions consider checking out our community message board, LowEndTalk, where thousands of users are happy to answer questions.
