Need More Information About
Managed Cloud Hosting?
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a method of virtualization in which your server runs its own kernel on the host node. KVM provides full kernel virtualization where the user has total control over every aspect of the server. Unlike virtualization such as 'OpenVZ', where a shared kernel is used, KVM offers more features for users who aren't quite ready to step up to a dedicated server but still want to run applications such as Docker.
KVM is recommended for those who want full control similar to a dedicated server.
Compared to a traditional VPS on SSD storage, yes. Our cloud infrastructure is built on NVMe drives, which offer much faster read and write speeds than standard SSDs.
Instead of relying on the drives in a single server, our cloud spreads your data across a large array of NVMe drives working in parallel. This distributed storage delivers very fast performance with built-in redundancy.
It's called a "cloud server" because of the distributed storage behind your KVM. Your data is split across many parallel NVMe drives working together. You get the redundancy of the cloud with the speed of massive parallel architecture. Redundancy is built into the hardware for strong data protection, so even if a physical server fails, there's zero data loss and your virtual machine can be booted onto new hardware within minutes. Combined with backup snapshots and configuration optimizations, you won't find a more resilient platform than our Cloud KVM servers.
Utilizing the My KnownHost portal, you can upgrade or downgrade your server as needed. Requiring no downtime, the process is quick and seamless. Need more server resources for a heavy application? Upgrade through the portal. When you're done, downgrade the same way.

Managed Cloud hosting is ideal for business websites, ecommerce platforms, and custom applications that require consistent speed, strong uptime, and dependable support. As managed hosting, our platform is designed for users who want performance and management handled without sacrificing flexibility.
It is a great fit when you want full control without managing the technical side yourself. Looking for WordPress hosting? See our Hosting for WordPress plans.
Yes, but we recommend using software that works cleanly with your selected control panel. Managed Cloud is built to support environments like cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin, and support is limited to those configurations.
If you need something more custom, consider our unmanaged options instead.
Managed Cloud is built on KVM virtualization, which provides full kernel access and resource isolation. Some traditional VPS platforms use paravirtualization like OpenVZ, where the kernel is shared and flexibility is limited.
KVM gives you more control, better compatibility, and performance closer to dedicated hardware, all with full management included.
All of our services are built with white-label in mind. We provide them in a manner that doesn't brand the service as KnownHost. This allows you to market it as you please. Let us help you grow your own company utilizing our services.
For our managed cloud servers, the current choices of supported operating system are:
- AlmaLinux 8
- AlmaLinux 9
Unmanaged customers get a wider range of operating systems to choose from:
- AlmaLinux 8
- AlmaLinux 9
- Debian 11
- Debian 12
- Debian 13
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
