Why Proxmox VE?
ARPHost PVE Cloud provides a powerful virtualization platform built on Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), the leading open-source server virtualization management solution. Create and manage virtual machines and LXC containers with enterprise features including high availability clustering, live migration, and software-defined storage.
Unlike basic VPS hosting, PVE Cloud gives you direct access to the Proxmox management interface, allowing you to create, resize, snapshot, and migrate VMs with full control. It’s ideal for IT professionals, DevOps teams, and businesses that need flexible infrastructure without the complexity of managing physical hardware.
Our PVE Cloud runs on enterprise-grade hardware with redundant networking, NVMe storage, and is backed by our 99.99% uptime SLA. Whether you’re building a development environment, running production workloads, or creating a disaster recovery site, PVE Cloud provides the flexibility and reliability you need.
Why Proxmox VE?
Proxmox Virtual Environment combines two virtualization technologies – KVM for full virtual machines and LXC for containers – in a single, integrated management platform. This flexibility allows you to choose the right virtualization approach for each workload, optimizing both performance and resource efficiency.
KVM vs. LXC: Choosing the Right Approach
KVM Virtual Machines provide complete hardware virtualization with their own kernel and can run any operating system including Windows, BSD, and specialized distributions. Use KVM when you need full OS isolation, Windows support, or running applications that require specific kernel features.
LXC Containers share the host kernel but provide isolated userspace environments. They’re more efficient than full VMs, starting faster and using less memory. Use LXC for Linux workloads where you want maximum density and efficiency without full VM overhead.
High Availability Clustering
Our PVE Cloud infrastructure runs on a multi-node cluster with high availability enabled. If a physical node experiences issues, affected VMs automatically migrate to healthy nodes. This provides resilience against hardware failures and allows for maintenance without service interruption.
Ceph Distributed Storage
All VM storage is provided by Ceph, a software-defined storage system that distributes data across multiple nodes with configurable redundancy. This eliminates single points of failure in storage and enables features like live storage migration and thin provisioning.
