Bare-Metal Server Infrastructure
Run demanding websites, applications and databases on a powerful Linux Virtual Dedicated Server with dedicated processing resources, enterprise-grade NVMe storage and full root access.
ChronoHost Linux VDS solutions combine the isolation and predictable performance of dedicated infrastructure with the flexibility of a virtual server environment.
Scale your resources as your requirements grow without immediately investing in a complete physical server.
A Linux Virtual Dedicated Server provides a fully isolated virtual environment with dedicated CPU cores, allocated memory and high-capacity NVMe storage.
Unlike a standard VPS, where some underlying resources may be shared, a VDS provides exclusive resource allocation for more consistent and predictable performance.
This makes Linux VDS hosting suitable for:
Our VDS environments are isolated KVM-based servers with dedicated CPU, memory and NVMe resources.
ChronoHost Linux VDS packages provide substantially greater processing power, memory and storage than standard virtual server plans.
Our Business Linux VDS packages provide a powerful foundation for established organisations, growing online platforms and applications that need more predictable performance than a standard VPS.
These packages are well suited to production applications, busy websites, larger databases and businesses hosting multiple services.
We do not proactively monitor bandwidth usage. Our traffic allocations are more than enough for 99.999% of websites and emails we host.
We may throttle traffic speeds for clients that go over 500 GB per month, however we will make contact with the affected account first.
If you have any questions, please contact us and we'll be happy to help!
Manage your server through the public API, the CH CLI, or an MCP server.

ChronoHost Linux VDS hosting provides the resources and administrative access required to deploy demanding applications without the limitations of a conventional shared VPS environment.
Each Linux VDS includes dedicated Intel Xeon CPU cores assigned to your server environment.
Dedicated CPU allocation provides more predictable processing performance and reduces the impact of activity from other virtual machines on the host.
This is particularly valuable for:
Run your applications and databases on high-capacity NVMe SSD storage designed for fast read and write performance.
The vendor infrastructure uses NVMe storage configured with RAID 10 redundancy.
Fast storage can help improve:
Full root and SSH access allows you to configure the server according to your technical and application requirements.
You can:
Deploy your VDS with a supported Linux distribution that suits your application stack.
Available vendor templates include widely used distributions such as:
Custom ISO mounting may also be available for supported configurations.
South African server hosting helps reduce latency for local users, businesses and applications.
Local infrastructure is especially valuable for organisations serving customers or employees within South Africa and the wider Southern African region.
The underlying service is hosted in a Tier 3, ISO-accredited data centre environment.
API, CLI and MCP access make it possible to integrate server administration into deployment processes and infrastructure workflows.
These tools can support:
The underlying VDS infrastructure includes DDoS mitigation, monitoring and software firewall controls.
Automatic Arbor DDoS protection and proactive infrastructure monitoring.
Customers remain responsible for securing their operating system and installed applications.
Move between Linux VDS tiers when your application requires additional CPU, memory or storage.
The vendor platform provides an upgrade path between VDS configurations, allowing infrastructure to grow alongside your workload.
Linux VDS packages include unlimited bandwidth, subject to the applicable fair usage policy.
The VDS network is positioned for heavy traffic and provides redundant network connectivity.
A Linux VDS provides a practical alternative to physical dedicated server infrastructure.
Dedicated Processing Power
CPU resources are assigned to your virtual environment for more consistent application performance.
Substantial Memory Capacity
Configurations offer between 24GB and 96GB of RAM for demanding platforms and database workloads.
High-Capacity NVMe Storage
Packages provide between 450GB and 1.8TB of enterprise-grade NVMe storage.
Complete Administrative Control
Full root access allows you to configure your operating system, services and applications around your requirements.
Local Connectivity
South African hosting supports responsive access for local users, offices and customers.
Flexible Upgrade Options

Standard Linux VDS hosting is provided as a self-managed service.
You are responsible for administering the Linux operating system and the applications installed on your server.
Your responsibilities include:
The vendor lists the standard service as self-managed, with managed assistance available as an optional service.
Self-managed Linux VDS hosting is best suited to businesses with internal technical expertise or access to an experienced Linux administrator.
Linux VPS
A Linux VPS is suitable for smaller websites, development environments and applications that need root access but can operate within a shared virtual infrastructure environment.
It is generally the most cost-effective option.
Linux VDS
A Linux VDS provides dedicated CPU and memory resources within an isolated virtual server.
It is suitable for applications that need more predictable performance than a standard VPS without requiring a complete physical server.
Dedicated Server
A dedicated server provides access to an entire physical machine.
It offers the greatest hardware control and customisation but generally requires a larger investment and more complex administration.
Migrating to dedicated virtual infrastructure requires careful planning, particularly for larger databases and production applications.
A typical migration may include:
The migration process will depend on your existing server environment and application architecture.
Speak to ChronoHost before ordering when you require migration assistance or have a complex infrastructure environment.
