It ensures strong and predictable performance with dedicated CPU cores, RAM, and disk space. Benefit from 99.9% server availability provided by our reliable and secure TIER III data centers located in Europe and the USA. Choose your cheap VDS from our flexible options and enable the stable operation of your applications and services.
HOSTKEY VDS hosting advantages:
Shares physical resources with other virtual servers on the same physical machine. You are allocated a specific portion of CPU (cores), RAM, and disk space. However, access to these resources may be limited or affected by other users on the server, unlike with a VDS.
Provides fully dedicated resources such as CPU cores, RAM, and disk space. This guarantees consistent performance and ensures your server operates independently from others on the same physical host.
Each VPS comes with a fully dedicated GPU — one physical GPU per virtual server, without sharing. This guarantees consistent GPU performance for compute-intensive workloads such as ML, rendering, or video processing. CPU and RAM resources, however, are shared among all VPS on the host, allowing for efficient resource utilization while keeping costs reasonable.
Full remote control, HTML5 console, automated reinstall, ISO library, high-availability VM, free weekly backups, 1GBps Internet access, Deployed in several minutes.
Please, note that instant VPS come in a set configuration. If you need a custom dedicated server, use our online configurator instead.
Our VPS are fully managed through an API or a control panel. Thus, you will be able to use the HTML5 console, perform power actions, reboot, automatically reinstall VPS from standard OS images or do it manually from our ISO library.
Most popular apps pre-installed on your VPS servers.
Get steadier performance with dedicated CPU, RAM, and disk space that are not shared with other server users. You will also enjoy greater flexibility and higher control thanks to full root access and hardware virtualization.

Hostkey offers you to buy VDS at a great price. We pursue a flexible pricing policy in order to make profitable offers to our customers.
Hostkey offers free basic DDoS protection for all of its servers. You can be completely confident in the high security of information and amazing stability.
A virtual private server is well suited for sites that exceed the capabilities of conventional hosting, high-load network services, as well as for designing, developing and testing software. Closed corporate projects with increased requirements for data security and confidentiality are also mostly used on virtual dedicated servers.
VPS may cost less, but VDS is more reliable for its expensive price. In addition, the load on VPS servers is distributed among them, which leads to unstable operation. One server can take some of the resources, which will greatly degrade the performance of neighboring virtual servers.
VDS server (Virtual Dedicated Server) is a virtual dedicated server that operates on the basis of hardware virtualization technology. Unlike shared hosting, VDS hosting provides guaranteed CPU, RAM and disk space resources, isolated from other users. Each VDS server functions as an independent physical server with its own operating system. Thanks to the use of KVM or VMware technologies, virtualization has virtually no effect on performance. This makes VDS hosting an ideal solution for projects that require stability and full control.
One of the key advantages of VDS hosting is the ability to install any software according to your needs. VDS server provides full root access, allowing you to configure the server environment without restrictions. You can deploy your own web applications, DBMS, game servers or specialized software for business. VDS hosting supports all popular operating systems (Linux/Windows) and runtimes. The only limitation is compliance with the license agreements of the software used.
HOSTKEY offers low-cost VDS hosting solutions for clients with different budgets. Even the most affordable VDS server plans include SSD drives, guaranteed resources, and a stable network connection. We regularly hold promotions and provide discounts for long-term VDS hosting rentals. Budget configurations are ideal for test environments, small sites, and startups. At the same time, you can always scale your VDS server as the project grows.
All VDS hosting tariff plans from HOSTKEY include basic protection against DDoS attacks at the network level. Multi-level traffic filtering is used for VDS server, blocking common types of attacks. If necessary, you can order advanced VDS hosting protection with individual filter settings. Our data centers are equipped with powerful hardware solutions to repel large-scale attacks. This makes VDS server a reliable choice for commercial projects and online services, where uninterrupted operation is important.
Virtual Dedicated Server is HOSTKEY’s hosting service that provides you with a virtual server featuring dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, disk space) and full administrative privileges (root access). Technically, a single physical server is divided into several virtual servers, each of which operates in its own isolated environment. Functionally, these virtual dedicated servers are no different from physical machines.
Both HOSTKEY VPS and VDS are isolated virtual machines based on hardware-assisted virtualization technologies such as KVM/Xen, with the main difference being that VPS uses shared vCPU resources while VDS provides dedicated vCPU resources. Each VDS provides an isolated operating system environment, dedicated vCPU resources, allocated RAM and storage, and administrative access for configuring the operating system and installed software.
In practical terms, this means that when you use a VPS, you are allocated a specific configuration of CPU, RAM, storage space, and network resources within a common resource pool. But some resources may be oversold or dynamically distributed among neighboring virtual servers. So, if another user generates a heavy load, it can take some of the resources you actually need and, thus, affect the performance of your website, application, or service.
Both HOSTKEY VPS and VDS provide administrative access to the guest operating system, allowing users to configure system and network settings within their virtual machine, while the underlying host infrastructure remains managed by HOSTKEY.
Compared with the VPS, our VDS hosting delivers the following advantages:
VDS is also more affordable than a physical dedicated server while providing nearly the same level of performance. Yet, it’s a costlier option compared with VPS and can be excessive for smaller websites and applications.
A virtual dedicated server is a smart choice when you need to:
