Some applications cannot simply be moved to a standard hosting platform. A legacy PHP application that is not ready for PHP 8, software compiled against specific library versions, a multi-tier system that needs its own network segmentation, or a firewall policy no shared platform will allow. Infinity Data Center's managed VPS hosting exists for those workloads: a dedicated virtual server on Proxmox, configured for your application, with our engineers responsible for keeping it updated, monitored, backed up, and hardened.
Why Proxmox and KVM
Our VPS platform runs on Proxmox Virtual Environment, which uses KVM for full hardware virtualization. Each virtual machine runs its own kernel in its own isolated memory space, enforced by the CPU's virtualization extensions. That is a different class of isolation from container-based hosting, where every tenant shares the host's kernel. A misconfiguration or performance problem in a neighboring VM does not reach into yours.
Managed vs. Unmanaged VPS
An unmanaged VPS gives you a virtual machine and leaves everything else to you: operating system updates, security patching, software installation, tuning, monitoring, and incident response. That is the right choice if you have in-house Linux administration and want to own every layer.
A managed VPS moves that responsibility to us. We handle updates, monitoring, backups, security hardening, and performance optimization, and we shape the environment around your application rather than forcing your application into a template. You keep the control a dedicated server gives you, including the operating system version, PHP configuration, custom firewall rules, and networking, without carrying the day-to-day administration.
Isolation and Security
KVM isolation matters most for the workloads people worry about: applications that handle customer data, internal business systems, and mail servers. Each VM has its own kernel, its own memory space, and its own firewall policy. Combined with managed patching and hardening, that gives security-sensitive applications a meaningfully stronger footing than a shared hosting account, without the cost of a physical server per application.
When Managed VPS Is the Right Choice
Choose managed VPS when your requirements cannot be met by a standardized platform: a legacy operating system or framework version, custom-compiled dependencies, a specific firewall or network design, or an application your team does not want to administer itself. If your site runs on a standard stack and simply needs to be secure, a Secure VPS is usually the better fit and costs less. If you need the whole physical host, including your own VM layout and clustering, a dedicated Proxmox server is the step up.
VPS Options at Infinity Data Center
- Secure VPS — a hardened shared Proxmox platform with guaranteed resource allocations, for standard workloads that need to be secure.
- Managed VPS — a dedicated, customizable virtual server with our engineers managing the operating system and application layer.
- Dedicated Proxmox Servers — your own physical Proxmox host, with the full hardware reserved for your VMs and your own clustering configuration.
- Compact Proxmox Edge Server — a smaller dedicated Proxmox system for edge, branch office, or smaller workloads.
Proxmox Backup Integration
Proxmox VPS plans integrate with our Proxmox Backup Server service: deduplicated, encrypted VM backups, available as shared or dedicated backup storage. Regular, tested backups of your VM images are part of any production infrastructure plan, and keeping them on the same platform makes restores straightforward to run and to verify.
