The Problem

Common Challenges for IT professionals, hosting providers, and businesses running virtualised workloads on dedicated infrastructure

These are the issues that consistently come up when IT professionals, hosting providers, and businesses running virtualised workloads on dedicated infrastructure try to scale on the wrong infrastructure.

Challenge 1

Nested virtualisation on cloud VMs disables hardware passthrough features and degrades VM performance by 15-30%

Challenge 2

Cloud providers restrict BIOS/UEFI access - you can't configure virtualisation extensions, boot order, or IOMMU groups

Challenge 3

Per-VM pricing on cloud platforms makes running many small VMs expensive - a dedicated server has no per-VM charge

How We Help

How Glitch Servers Solves This

Virtualisation on cloud VMs is virtualisation on top of virtualisation - nested hypervisors, restricted CPU features, and limited BIOS access. A dedicated server gives you bare-metal access to run your hypervisor directly on the hardware. Full access to CPU virtualisation extensions (VT-x, VT-d), passthrough capabilities, and IPMI for remote management. Whether you're running Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, KVM, or Microsoft Hyper-V, dedicated hardware is the correct foundation.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).

A Glitch Servers dedicated server provides bare-metal access to Intel VT-x/VT-d virtualisation extensions. Install any hypervisor - Proxmox VE (free, open source), VMware ESXi, KVM/QEMU, XCP-ng, or Microsoft Hyper-V. Create VMs with full hardware passthrough support. IPMI gives you remote BIOS access, ISO mounting, and power management. Dual Xeon options with 64GB RAM handle production virtualisation workloads at scale.

What You Get

Built for IT professionals, hosting providers, and businesses running virtualised workloads on dedicated infrastructure

The features that matter most for your workload, included as standard.

⚡

Full VT-x/VT-d Support

Bare-metal access to Intel virtualisation extensions. Hardware passthrough, IOMMU groups, and SR-IOV all available - features that nested virtualisation on cloud VMs cannot provide.

🛡

IPMI BIOS Access

Remote BIOS configuration, ISO mounting, and boot order changes via IPMI. Essential for hypervisor installation, firmware updates, and disaster recovery.

🔧

Up to 64GB RAM

Dual Xeon options with 64GB DDR4 for production virtualisation. Allocate RAM per VM precisely without overcommitting.

💰

No Per-VM Charges

Create as many VMs as your hardware can support. No per-VM licensing from us, no usage-based charges, no hidden fees. One flat monthly cost.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hypervisor should I use?

Proxmox VE is free, open source, and supports both KVM (full VMs) and LXC (lightweight containers). VMware ESXi is the enterprise standard but requires a license. For Windows environments, Hyper-V integrates with Active Directory.

Can I run Windows VMs on a Linux hypervisor?

Yes. KVM, Proxmox, and VMware all support Windows guest VMs with VirtIO drivers for optimal performance. You provide your own Windows licenses for guest VMs.

Can I PXE boot or mount custom ISOs?

Yes. IPMI supports virtual media mounting - attach ISOs from your local machine and boot from them remotely. PXE boot is also available on the local network.
