KVM VPS
Virtual servers on KVM hardware virtualisation: prices, specs and providers. Prices from $1.24/mo. Over 3000 plans from 96 providers.
KVM is full hardware virtualisation: the machine runs its own kernel, so you can load modules, install FreeBSD or Windows, change network settings and use swap. Container plans (OpenVZ, LXC) are cheaper, but the kernel is shared with the host and none of that is possible.
A note on data completeness: the virtualisation type is not filled in for every plan in this catalogue. Plans without a stated type are excluded from this slice even though some of them also run KVM.
