name: Cloud Servers; category: customer_administered_full_root_openstack_kvm_virtual_machine; service model: Postpaid OpenStack virtual machines on KVM with portal, Servers.com Public API and region-scoped OpenStack API management. Linux guests support root password or SSH-key access and Windows guests support Administrator/RDP; a browser VNC console remains available for recovery.; current public flavors: name: SSD.30; vcpu: 1; memory gib: 1; local ssd gb: 30; included transfer tb: 2; monthly cap: 4.97, name: SSD.50; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 2; local ssd gb: 50; included transfer tb: 3; monthly cap: 19.95, name: SSD.80; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 4; local ssd gb: 80; included transfer tb: not_found; monthly cap: 39.95, name: SSD.100; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 6; local ssd gb: 100; included transfer tb: not_found; monthly cap: 59.95, name: SSD.120; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 8; local ssd gb: 120; included transfer tb: not_found; monthly cap: 79.95, name: SSD.180; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 16; local ssd gb: 180; included transfer tb: not_found; monthly cap: 159.95, name: SSD.320; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 32; local ssd gb: 320; included transfer tb: not_found; monthly cap: 319.95, name: SSD.480; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 48; local ssd gb: 480; included transfer tb: not_found; monthly cap: 479.95, name: SSD.640; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; local ssd gb: 640; included transfer tb: not_found; monthly cap: 639.95; regional currency: The public matrix fixes original prices in EUR for Amsterdam and Luxembourg and USD for the three US cloud locations. Its optional cross-currency widget still embeds a 2024-02-01 exchange-rate date, so those conversions are ignored.; traffic boundary: Every flavor includes a traffic package, but the public marketing table omits the allowance. Current billing documentation explicitly gives 2,048 GB for SSD.30 and 3,072 GB for SSD.50; no value is invented for the remaining tiers.; availability boundary: The live pricing payload exposes six cloud locations worldwide. Five are in scope here: Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Francisco Bay Area and Washington metropolitan Virginia. Other Servers.com data-center pages do not prove Cloud Server orderability; Singapore is live but outside this directory's geography., name: Cloud Server Volumes; category: optional_cloud_block_storage; service model: Selected locations offer SSD-backed OpenStack Cinder volumes on triply replicated Ceph RBD. Volumes are independent, hourly billed resources and are excluded from the base SSD.30 comparison., name: Bare metal, managed Kubernetes, private cloud, cloud storage and networking services; category: non_benchmark_adjacent_products; service model: Servers.com also sells dedicated and managed infrastructure. Those products do not supply missing Cloud Server CPU, support, firewall or price fields unless current documentation explicitly says the service works with cloud VMs.

Operating systems

officially documented image families: AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, Debian, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, Windows Server Standard, Windows Server Datacenter; selector boundary: Servers.com says the most current image list is visible only while ordering in the authenticated portal. Public documentation does not expose exact selectable version numbers, so none are inferred from tutorial screenshots or old third-party plan tables.; linux access: Provider Linux images support first login as root with a temporary password or key-based access using the image's cloud-user account.; windows access: Windows images are paid hourly additions and support Administrator/RDP access. Exact live Windows Server versions and license rates are not public.; custom images: Customers can upload region-specific qcow2, raw, vhd, vhdx, vmdk, vdi, ISO, ploop, aki, ari and ami images through the portal, cURL/Glance or OpenStack API. Public guidance also covers prepared Linux and Windows images.; limitations: Reinstallation is restricted to Linux-to-Linux or Windows-to-Windows. Current Windows-image guidance requires x64 BIOS boot, VirtIO and Cloudbase-Init and explicitly says Windows 11 is unsupported.

Virtualization

virtualizer: KVM on OpenStack; guest access: Linux instances support root-password access or SSH-key authentication; Windows instances support Administrator access through RDP. The portal exposes a browser VNC console for both operating-system families.; control planes: Servers.com customer portal, Servers.com Public REST API, OpenStack API with region-scoped Keystone v3 credentials; lifecycle: Create, power off, reboot, destroy, reinstall, upgrade, snapshot, restore and image-upload workflows are documented. Upgrades can be reverted within 72 hours; downgrades and independent vCPU/RAM/disk resizing are not supported.; automation: The general Public API and Terraform provider automate portal operations. OpenStack Nova/Glance-compatible credentials provide cloud-server and image automation.; storage: Base flavors use local SSD. Optional volumes use OpenStack Cinder backed by triply replicated Ceph RBD in selected locations.

CPU isolation

classification: shared; basis: Current Cloud Server documentation says hypervisors distribute physical-node resources among multiple users. No public flavor promises customer-exclusive physical cores.; physical mapping: No vCPU-to-physical-core mapping, SMT-sibling exclusivity, host-pinning commitment or numeric oversubscription ratio is published.; processor disclosure: The current public Cloud Server table publishes vCPU counts but no host processor vendor, family, model, clock guarantee or location-specific CPU pool.

Features

• App installation root installation: Full Linux root access and Windows Administrator/RDP access permit installation of compatible guest software.; preconfigured images: Customer-uploaded images may contain preinstalled software, services and configuration.; native application marketplace: not_found; management boundary: The standard 24/7 support service is explicitly non-administrative; guest application installation and maintenance remain the customer's responsibility.
  ✓
• Templates & images provider images: Current official documentation names AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, Debian, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu and Windows Server Standard/Datacenter families; exact live versions require the authenticated order selector.; custom images: Portal, cURL and OpenStack Glance uploads are supported in multiple virtual-disk formats. Uploaded images are region-specific and can be downloaded or deleted.; snapshots: Manual point-in-time images can be created, restored, downloaded in qcow2 format and used to create equivalent VMs. Cross-location copying requires support.; automatic backups: Backups are created daily by default, including while a VM is powered off. Five copies for five days are the default and the copy count can be changed; storage is separately billed by used GB-month.; deletion boundary: Deleting a VM removes its backups, while snapshots remain. Neither is included in the base flavor's local-disk allowance.
  ✓
• Network orchestration addressing: Each VM is limited to one public IPv4 address. Additional IPv4 aliases are explicitly unavailable; one IPv6 address can be ordered separately.; traffic: Included transfer is pooled among VMs inside one cloud-region zone and prorated for partial-month use. Amsterdam's four zones pool traffic separately. Public-network traffic to cloud storage is charged.; private network: Cloud nodes advertise 20 Gbps private plus 20 Gbps public aggregate connectivity. The free Global Private Network is documented, but the current Cloud Server quota page says it becomes available only when the account also has a dedicated server.; api: VMs can be managed through the portal, Public API and region-scoped OpenStack API. The current portal also exposes SSH keys, power, images, snapshots, backups, reports and optional IPv6 controls.; storage network: Optional volumes can be attached or moved between VMs within the same region; the service is limited to selected locations.
  ✓
• Firewall
  N/A
• Load balancer service: Separately billed shared or dedicated load-balancer instances can distribute traffic to Cloud Server or dedicated-server upstreams.; types: L4 TCP and L7 HTTP/HTTPS/HTTP2 with health checks, multiple algorithms, SSL termination, sticky sessions, optional GeoIP and cloud-storage log delivery.; networking: Private-IP traffic between the load balancer and upstream is uncharged; public-path traffic is billed. The first public IPv4 is included in the load-balancer base, not in the VM benchmark.; scope boundary: This is an optional network product and is not bundled into SSD.30.
  ✓
• DNS management service: Authoritative DNS is managed through the customer portal or Public API and is free of charge.; record types: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, PTR, CAA, automatic SOA; verification: Domains can be activated through NS delegation or TXT ownership verification and preconfigured before cutover.
