What is a VPS, and how is it different from shared hosting?
A VPS is your own virtual machine with reserved CPU threads, memory and storage. Shared hosting puts many sites on one server with no isolation; a VPS gives you root, your own OS and resources nobody else can consume.
What's the difference between a dedicated CPU and a shared vCPU?
A shared vCPU is time-sliced with other customers' virtual machines, so performance moves with your neighbours. The Ryzen 9 9950X threads assigned to a Darkless VPS are reserved for it and never time-sliced, so performance under load stays consistent.
What is a KVM VPS?
KVM is the virtualisation built into the Linux kernel. A KVM VPS is a full virtual machine that runs its own kernel and operating system on reserved CPU, memory and storage. Every Darkless VPS is a KVM virtual machine.
How much does a VPS cost per month?
$2.50 per GB of memory: $20 a month for 8 GB with 3 dedicated threads, up to $160 for 64 GB with 16. There's no setup fee, and the renewal price is the signup price.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Move to a larger plan from billing at any time; the resize usually needs one reboot.
What access do I get?
Full root over SSH, plus a browser console, one-click OS reinstall and live resource graphs in the panel.
Can I run Windows on a VPS?
Yes. Windows Server 2019 and 2022 run on every plan with your own licence. The Linux options are Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, and others are available on request.
