Vietnam VPS is a virtual private server created from a physical server located in a data center in Vietnam and assigned a Vietnamese IP address. It provides dedicated computing resources such as CPU, RAM, and storage for running websites or applications.

Because the server is located within Vietnam, users in the country can access the website with lower network latency and faster loading speeds. Vietnam VPS is commonly used for websites and online services targeting Vietnamese users.

To choose a high-quality Vietnam VPS, you should evaluate the hosting provider based on several technical factors such as virtualization technology, physical server hardware, and network infrastructure.

• Virtualization platform: KVM is considered the best option because it provides fully isolated CPU and RAM resources for each VPS.
• Physical server hardware: A reliable VPS should run on servers powered by Intel Xeon CPUs, ECC RAM, and Enterprise SSD or NVMe storage with RAID configuration.
• Overselling policy: Providers should limit the number of VPS instances per node to maintain stable performance.
• Network bandwidth: Evaluate both domestic and international bandwidth to ensure stable connectivity for users in Vietnam and abroad.
• IP scalability: Some projects require multiple clean IPv4 addresses, so the provider should support flexible IP allocation.

Offshore VPS is a virtual private server created from a physical server located in a data center outside the user's country. It provides dedicated resources such as CPU, RAM, and storage for hosting websites or applications.

Offshore VPS servers are commonly located in regions such as Singapore, Hong Kong, the United States, or Europe. They are typically used when a website targets international users or needs a server located closer to a specific global market.

Choosing between a Vietnam VPS and an Offshore VPS mainly depends on your target audience location and international bandwidth requirements.

• Vietnam VPS: Ideal when most of your users are located in Vietnam. Local servers provide lower latency, faster loading speeds, and advantages for local SEO.
• Offshore VPS: More suitable for projects targeting global audiences or applications that require large international bandwidth.

If your primary audience is in Vietnam, deploying a Vietnam-based VPS usually delivers better performance and user experience.

KVM VPS is a Virtual Private Server that uses KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization technology. This hardware virtualization method allows each VPS to run as an independent server with dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage resources.

KVM is integrated directly into the Linux kernel, providing strong performance and flexibility. KVM VPS is commonly used to host websites, web applications, game servers, and other workloads that require an isolated server environment.

The image below shows the real benchmark results measured on a live KVM VPS server at VietHosting:

* The benchmark was performed using the VH Benchmark Script on a production server.

* Our VPS plans include network speeds of 1Gbps (Domestic) / 32Mbps (International).

* This represents the maximum shared bandwidth available for each VPS.

Yes. You can install Windows Server on KVM VPS services at VietHosting.

With KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization, each VPS operates similarly to an independent physical server with dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage resources. This allows the VPS to run multiple operating systems, including Windows Server, reliably.

Commonly supported Windows Server versions include:

• Windows Server 2025
• Windows Server 2022
• Windows Server 2019

Note: Windows Server requires a valid license. Customers may provide their own license (BYOL – Bring Your Own License) or purchase a license through VietHosting.

KVM VPS services at VietHosting are managed through the Virtualizor control panel, allowing customers to install operating systems automatically with just a few clicks.

The commonly available operating systems include:

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS
• Debian 12, 11
• AlmaLinux 10, 9, 8
• Rocky Linux 10, 9, 8
• CentOS 7 (legacy)
• Fedora (recent releases)
• Windows Server 2025, 2022, 2019 (requires a separate license)

Customers may also install other operating systems using a custom ISO image and access the VPS console through noVNC directly from the control panel.

Large VPS, also known as a high-resource VPS, is a type of Virtual Private Server that provides large allocations of CPU, RAM, and storage resources. It delivers higher performance compared to standard VPS plans.

Large VPS is commonly used for high-traffic websites, e-commerce platforms, large databases, and demanding web applications. It sits between a regular VPS and a dedicated server in terms of performance and resources.

Large VPS is essentially a high-resource version of a standard KVM VPS. Both use KVM virtualization, but Large VPS plans provide significantly more CPU, RAM, and storage resources to support high-performance workloads.

Similarities:

• Virtualization technology: Both use KVM virtualization, allowing each VPS to run as an independent server.
• Dedicated resources: CPU, RAM, and storage resources are allocated separately to each VPS.
• Server control: Users can install and configure their own operating system and software.

Key Differences:

• KVM VPS: Suitable for websites and applications with low to medium resource requirements.
• Large VPS: Provides larger CPU, RAM, and storage allocations, making it suitable for high-traffic websites, e-commerce systems, and resource-intensive applications.

Large VPS and Dedicated Server are both high-performance server solutions, but they differ in architecture and flexibility.

• Large VPS: A virtual server powered by KVM virtualization, offering large dedicated resources with fast deployment, flexible upgrades, and lower cost.
• Dedicated Server: A full physical server exclusively allocated to you, delivering maximum hardware performance and full hardware customization.

In short, Large VPS is ideal for projects that require powerful resources with flexibility and cost efficiency, while a Dedicated Server is better suited for workloads that demand absolute performance and complete hardware isolation.

1. What is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transferred through a network connection within a specific period, usually measured in Mbps (Megabits per second) or Gbps.

The larger the bandwidth, the more data can be transferred between the server and users every second.

2. Mbps vs MB/s

Internet providers typically advertise speed in Mbps (Megabits per second), while browsers and download software display speeds in MB/s (Megabytes per second).

• 1 Byte = 8 bits
• Therefore: 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps
• Example: A connection of 100 Mbps equals a theoretical download speed of about 12.5 MB/s.

3. Domestic Bandwidth

Domestic bandwidth refers to network traffic within Vietnam. It usually provides lower latency and higher speeds for users located in the country.

4. International Bandwidth

International bandwidth refers to connections between Vietnam and other countries. Due to geographical distance and international routing, latency and speed may vary.

5. VietHosting Bandwidth Policy

VietHosting operates on a shared bandwidth model. The advertised speed represents the maximum port speed allocated to the service.
