What You Get With Proxmox VE on velia.net
Full hardware for your VMs and containers
Every CPU core, all installed RAM, and the server's full NVMe storage are available to Proxmox and your virtual machines, with nothing shared with other customers. Your VMs run at the actual performance of the physical hardware.
PCIe and GPU passthrough
Direct access to PCIe slots lets you pass through GPUs, network cards, and storage controllers straight to your VMs. Every server includes the hardware IOMMU support that passthrough requires.
Your own network topology
Proxmox VE's SDN features (VLANs, Linux bridges, bonds, and VXLan overlays) work directly on the server's physical network interfaces. Configure your virtual network exactly as your workloads require.
IPMI/KVM remote access
Our dedicated servers include IPMI/KVM-over-IP access, allowing you to manage the Proxmox host out-of-band. Reinstall Proxmox, access the console during a failed boot, or mount an ISO remotely, without depending on the Proxmox web interface.
What You Can Run on Proxmox VE
Virtual Machine Hosting
Run multiple KVM-based virtual machines on one physical server. Proxmox VE manages CPU, memory, and storage allocation between VMs with a web-based interface and full API access.
LXC Container Infrastructure
Deploy lightweight Linux containers (LXC) alongside KVM VMs on the same host. Containers share the host kernel and start in seconds, ideal for services that don't require full OS isolation.
Private Cloud & Lab Environments
Build a private cloud environment for development, testing, or staging. Proxmox supports VM templates, snapshots, and cloning, making it straightforward to spin up and tear down environments on demand.
High-Availability Clusters
Combine multiple dedicated servers into a Proxmox cluster for live migration and high availability. VMs can be migrated between nodes without downtime and automatically restarted on surviving nodes if a host fails.
Software-Defined Storage with Ceph
Deploy Ceph directly on your Proxmox nodes to create a distributed, replicated storage pool across multiple servers. Ceph integrates natively into Proxmox VE and provides block storage for VMs and containers.
Firewall & Network Virtualization
Use Proxmox VE's built-in firewall and SDN features to segment your virtual infrastructure. Apply firewall rules at the VM, node, and cluster level without requiring separate network appliances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Proxmox VE is open-source software available at no cost. The Community Edition uses the public repository and receives updates without a subscription. An optional enterprise subscription from Proxmox GmbH provides access to the enterprise repository and commercial support, but is not required to use Proxmox VE.
Yes. Multiple dedicated servers can be joined into a Proxmox cluster for centralized management, live migration, and high availability. Cluster nodes communicate over the network. We recommend servers in the same location for low-latency cluster traffic.
Yes. Every one of our bare metal servers includes the hardware IOMMU support that GPU passthrough requires. Whether your specific GPU model works depends on the server configuration; contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Yes. With IPMI/KVM remote access, you can reinstall the operating system at any time by mounting an ISO remotely. Our team can also assist with OS reinstallation if needed.
Yes. The same dedicated servers are available with a standalone Linux distribution instead of Proxmox VE. See our Linux dedicated server hosting page for supported distributions.
No. velia.net bills monthly with no annual contracts and no cancellation penalties. You can add or remove servers as your virtualization needs evolve.
