The self-healing VPS platform

Network storage

Our self developed VPS platform uses network storage. Because of this, your VPS can be started immediately on a different hypervisor if an error occurs. In case of such a failover your VPS is booted up on a physically different server automatically. This minimizes the impact from an error on the hypervisor of origin.

Automatic migrations

Our automatic migrations guarantee optimal performance for every VPS. When one hypervisor is experiencing pressure, a number of VPS machines is automatically migrated to a server that has less load. These migrations also make it possible for us to update our entire platform without meaningful downtime. During these "live" migrations your memory is first duplicated to the new destination server. Once the differences between the two servers are small enough, your VPS is pauzed briefly and then transferred to the new server.

Wat is NVMe?

SSD and NVMe storage

Our VPS storage platform is fully equipped with solid state drives and uses ZFS. This provides all data blocks with a checksum that protects the integrity of files stored. Any corruption is automatically repaired by ZFS. The VPS storage platform uses distributed storage on lightning fast NVMe disks, utilizing Ceph storage clusters for a total of three copies for all data, guaranteeing optimum reliability.

Big Storage

Big Storage are large amounts of secondary storage that you can link to your VPS. Your Big Storage drives run on their own storage platform. Unlike a VPS, Big Storage runs completely on hard drives (HDD’s). Big Storage drives can be linked to any VPS delivered in the same availability zone. The offsite backups of Big Storage are always stored in a different availability zone.

Backups

Backups are essential for every VPS. That is why every VPS is automatically backed up every four hours for free. You can go back about a day and a half with the nine backup spots. These backups are stored on a different server in the same availability zone as your VPS. In addition to these free backups, you can also extend your VPS with weekly backups and offsite backups.

Snapshots

ZFS offers the possibility to take a snapshot of your complete filesystem within a fraction of a second. You can put this snapshot back on your VPS at any time. When you restore a snapshot, your VPS is immediately started from the snapshot server. This ensures that your server is available again within a minute. Next, the filesystem of your VPS is migrated from the snapshot machine to an SSD or NVMe server, after which you again benefit from the speed of SSD or NVMe.

Cloning

VPS cloning allows you to make a copy of the complete filesystem of your VPS. This enables you to quickly set up multiple VPSs with the same configuration. Of course, it is also possible to deliver a copy in another availability zone.

KVM full virtualization

Our VPS platforms are virtualized by using KVM. This allows each VPS to have its own kernel and runs it in a completely protected environment on the hypervisor.

Datacenters

Your VPS is immediately delivered in one of our data centres in Amsterdam (AMS0) or Alblasserdam (RTM0). All racks of our VPS and storage platform are equipped with redundant network connections and two independent power feeds (2N), each with its own uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and diesel generator.
