Operating systems

linux images: Debian 13 Trixie, 12 Bookworm and 11 Bullseye, Ubuntu 25.04, 24.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, 9 and 8, CentOS Stream 10 and 9, Rocky Linux 10, 9 and 8, Fedora 42 and 41; windows images: Windows Server 2025, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019; control panel images: Plesk 18, cPanel; access: The live Linux checkouts request a root password and permit SSH public keys. Windows products expose administrator-oriented Windows Server choices and the provider documents browser-console access.; limitations: no public customer-uploaded custom-ISO workflow was found, the Windows checkout shows a disabled default OS and separate annual license selectors, so whether any Windows license is included in the base monthly price is not stated consistently

Virtualization

KVM hardware virtualization is explicitly listed in the current VPS checkouts, SSH root credentials and a browser NoVNC console are documented for guest administration

CPU isolation

shared: Performance-VPS, Performance MS-VPS, Storage MS-VPS, Shared-RYZEN vCPU; dedicated: Dedicated-VPS, EPYC KVM Server, Ryzen KVM Server Dedicated; not found: GPU-vServer; methodology note: Marketing labels and the current product split determine shared versus dedicated. The GPU checkout states a core count but does not state whether those cores are shared, guaranteed or dedicated.

Features

• App installation vps images: Plesk 18, cPanel; separate managed application products: GitLab, Odoo, Discourse, Nextcloud, Jitsi, Grafana, WireGuard, Wazuh, Matomo, CloudPanel, Uptime Kuma; limitations: the application catalog consists of separately sold managed application servers; it is not documented as a generic one-click marketplace for an existing VPS, control-panel and application licensing or management fees can be additional
  ✓
• Templates & images system images: current provider Linux distribution images, Windows Server images on Windows products, Plesk and cPanel images; lifecycle capabilities: API reinstall endpoint, API and customer-panel start, stop and reboot operations, included backup space and published backup and snapshot slots on the benchmark VPS plans, API backup and snapshot creation, browser NoVNC console; limitations: no public customer-uploaded custom-ISO capability was found, backup retention, scheduling and restore behavior are not fully specified on the public pages
  ✓
• Network orchestration interfaces and tooling: documented Alpenhost REST API for create, list, metrics, delete, start, stop, reboot, backup, snapshot, reinstall and IP-list operations, customer portal for firewall, reverse DNS, backups, snapshots and console access, private-network selection and monitoring add-ons in current VPS checkouts; addressing and routing: one IPv4 and one IPv6 address are listed on the standard benchmark checkouts, extra IPv4, IPv6 subnet and BGP/BYOIP options are exposed in current configurators, reverse DNS can be requested from the customer panel and is manually validated by Alpenhost; ddos protection: Standard automated blackholing is included. Paid Advanced, Professional and Enterprise tiers advertise filtering capacities from 100 Gbps through 1 Tbps and custom Layer 3-7 protection.; traffic policy: A current knowledge-base article says Nano vServers are subject to a fair-use threshold below 5 TB per calendar month and charges EUR 1.29 per additional TB. Current checkouts instead label traffic unmetered or unlimited under fair use, while the Ryzen marketing page states 10 TB. Because the first-party sources do not reconcile these statements, benchmark transfer is recorded as not_found.; limitations: standard DDoS handling may blackhole the attacked IP rather than keep it reachable, VPSBenchmarks reports no API, DDoS protection or reverse DNS, conflicting with the provider's current API, DDoS and rDNS documentation; current first-party documentation is used for availability, Frankfurt, London, Paris and other displayed cities are marked upcoming or have empty current categories and are not counted as locations
  ✓
• Firewall name: customer-panel VPS firewall; capabilities: inbound default drop-all policy, accept rules for TCP or UDP, port ranges and source and destination matching; limitations: public documentation does not state rule quotas, stateful-connection behavior or outbound-policy capabilities
  ✓
• Load balancer
  —
• DNS management services: paid authoritative DNS hosting plans, customer-panel reverse-DNS request workflow for VPS IP addresses; reverse dns process: The customer enters a PTR name in the panel; Alpenhost then validates and activates it during the stated Monday-Friday 09:00-17:00 processing window.; limitations: reverse-DNS activation is not fully automatic, public documentation does not enumerate DNS record types, API support, DNSSEC or zone limits
