VPS Ultra
Simafri's VPS Ultra is a whole KVM virtual machine: your own kernel, memory reserved for you, a dedicated IPv4 address included, running Linux or Windows Server. You administer it with full access, and Full-Stack Assistance is included: describe what you are seeing, and we diagnose it and tell you what to do, from the system down to your application. You keep control of your server.

Which projects is the VPS Ultra designed for?
Projects that call for a whole virtual machine: a kernel you tune yourself (a VPN such as WireGuard, modules, kernel parameters), reserved memory for a database or a demanding application, a dedicated IPv4 address, Windows Server, or direct mail sending from your own address.
