Full control over your server environment — choose your OS, install any software, configure everything your way. Choose OpenVZ for raw performance or KVM for total hardware isolation.
Root access, SSH, weekly backups and 24/7 support on every plan. No setup fees.
Both give you full root access and SSH — the difference is in how they isolate your server from others.
The better choice if you want strong performance at a lower price point. OpenVZ shares the host OS kernel between VPS instances — less virtualization overhead means faster disk access and lower latency.
The better choice if you need guaranteed, predictable resources — your CPU and RAM are fully isolated from other users on the same machine. KVM communicates directly with the hardware without an additional virtualization layer, giving each instance complete independence.
These come standard with every MarbleHost VPS plan — OpenVZ and KVM alike.
Complete control over your server — install any software, modify any configuration, run any service you need.
Secure command-line access from any device. Manage your server directly without a control panel if you prefer.
Your server is backed up once a week. Restore to a previous state if anything goes wrong.
Your VPS stays online 99.9% of the time, backed by our network infrastructure and monitoring.

The key difference is management. A VPS gives you full root access and complete control — but you're responsible for managing the server yourself: updates, security, configuration. Semi-dedicated hosting is fully managed, so we handle all of that for you. If you're not comfortable with Linux server administration, semi-dedicated hosting is likely the better fit.
Yes — with full root access you can host as many websites as your server resources allow. You can install any web server software (Apache, Nginx etc.), set up virtual hosts and run completely separate environments for different projects, all on one VPS.
Hepsia control panel is available free with all plans — both OpenVZ and KVM. KVM plans also support cPanel as a paid add-on. All plans include full root and SSH access regardless of control panel choice.
Managed Services is available on OpenVZ plans only. It adds weekly OS updates, server monitoring, automated rebooting and 30 minutes of installation & troubleshooting per month. OVZ Launch can add it for $17/mo — OVZ Grow and OVZ Scale include it free. If you're comfortable with Linux server administration, you don't need it.
Yes — you can upgrade to a higher plan at any time. The switch is handled by our team and your data stays intact. You only pay the difference from your current billing period.
