Why Choose Us

Why Run Ubuntu on a Swiss KVM VPS?

Full hardware-level virtualisation gives your Ubuntu instance its own dedicated kernel, resources, and network stack — no shared-tenant slowdowns, no OpenVZ restrictions.

Dedicated Kernel — Full KVM

Unlike OpenVZ or LXC containers, KVM gives Ubuntu its own kernel. You can load kernel modules, use eBPF, run Docker with overlay networking, and configure iptables or nftables exactly as on a bare-metal server.

NVMe SSD Storage

All VPS plans use enterprise NVMe SSDs, delivering dramatically faster I/O compared to SATA or spinning-disk alternatives. Apt upgrades, package builds, and database queries all benefit from sub-millisecond storage latency.

Zurich Datacenter — Low Latency

Located in Zurich, Switzerland, our facility provides single-digit millisecond latency to Frankfurt, Geneva, and Milan, and under 25 ms to London and Paris. Your Ubuntu server sits at the heart of Europe's network infrastructure.

Swiss Data Privacy

Switzerland operates under its own Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), independent of EU jurisdiction. Your Ubuntu VPS and its data reside in a country renowned for strong legal protections and political neutrality.

Full Root SSH Access

Receive root credentials immediately after deployment. Manage your Ubuntu server entirely via SSH, configure sudo policies, install any package from apt or snap, and run scripts with full superuser privileges.

Free OS Reinstall

Test different Ubuntu versions, wipe a misconfigured server, or switch to another Linux distribution entirely — all for free, directly from the VPS control panel. No need to raise a support ticket for a reinstall.

FAQ

Ubuntu VPS Switzerland — Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ubuntu versions are available on Switzerland VPS?
We offer Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish), and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) as ready-to-deploy images. All versions ship from official Canonical sources with full root access. You can also upload a custom ISO if you need a different Ubuntu flavour or derivative like Kubuntu or Xubuntu.
How long does it take to deploy an Ubuntu VPS in Switzerland?
Provisioning is fully automated. After your order is confirmed, your Ubuntu VPS in Zurich is typically ready in under 5 minutes. You will receive your SSH credentials, root password, and Swiss IP address by email as soon as the server is live.
Is full root access included on the Ubuntu VPS?
Yes. Every Ubuntu VPS comes with full root access via SSH. You have complete control over the server — install any software, configure the kernel, manage users, and run any workload without restrictions. A VNC emergency console is also available for out-of-band access if SSH becomes unreachable.
Can I run Docker or Kubernetes on this Ubuntu VPS?
Absolutely. Because we use full KVM virtualisation with a dedicated kernel, Docker, Docker Compose, LXD, Kubernetes (single-node via kubeadm or k3s), and any other container or virtualisation tool runs natively — no nested virtualisation tricks required. This is one of the key advantages of KVM over container-based VPS hosting.
What is the network speed of the Ubuntu VPS in Zurich?
Every plan includes a 1 Gbps network port with generous bandwidth allowances — 4 TB on Helvetia, 8 TB on Zurich, and 16 TB on Gotthard. The datacenter is located in Zurich, offering approximately 8 ms to Frankfurt, 14 ms to Paris, and 22 ms to London.
Does the Ubuntu VPS come with a Swiss IP address?
Yes. Every VPS is assigned a dedicated Swiss IPv4 address geo-located to Zurich, Switzerland, plus an IPv6 address at no extra cost. This Swiss IP is useful for privacy, accessing geo-restricted Swiss content, and operating under Swiss data protection jurisdiction.
Can I reinstall or switch Ubuntu versions at any time?
Yes. Free OS reinstalls are included with every plan. Through the VPS control panel you can wipe and redeploy Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04, or switch to any other supported Linux distribution in just a few clicks — no need to contact support.
