Today I will introduce a VPS server in Europe for a very cheap price, which is AlphaVPS, this is a server established in Bulgaria in 2013, mainly operating in the United States, European. AlphaVPS is characterized by low price, high configuration and large capacity hard disk.
They have advantages:
- 3000+ active clients
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- 6+ years in business
- 15 minutes average response time
AlphaVPS data centers are mainly located in the United States (Los Angeles, New York), United Kingdom (London), Germany (Nieders), Bulgaria (Sofia) and Storage KVM is only available in the Bulgarian. There are three main types of VPS: OPENVZ, KVM (data center of UK and Bulgaria), Storage KVM (Bulgaria) and relatively cheap price.
Below I mainly introduce the specifics VPS .
- OpenVZ : Due to the lower overhead on the on the physical host, OpenVZ offers better performance per dollar. Large selection of templates to deploy from with a click of a button! Zero-downtime upgrades/downgrades. Resources are assigned or removed to your container without the need to reboot it.

It can be seen that the price / performance ratio is really high.
- KVM : The kernel running on your KVM instance is fully dedicated for you, meaning you can easily modify it, load custom modules and re-compile it. Full emulation means that you can run virtually any OS – be it Linux flavored,
Windows, BSD or something else.

The KVM model is a bit more expensive than the OPENVZ model, but the performance is much higher.
- Storage KVM: KVM Storage uses HDD disk, 1Gbps bandwidth, characterized by large hard disk space, data center available only in Bulgarian.
- Dedicated server: A Dedicated Server is a single tenant service, meaning that the resources are solely dedicated to you. Actually, choosing this type of server means renting the physical hardware, rather than virtual resources as with VPS offerings.
