Everything's included — Stallion, free DirectAdmin, 100+ OS templates & 5 free snapshots. ❄️ Sold out? Deploy instantly on Cloudzy →

Everything you'd build yourself, already built in.

The in-house Stallion control panel, a free DirectAdmin license, 100+ one-click OS templates, free snapshots, dollar-a-month managed databases and free internal networking — all standard, on pure-SSD hardware we never oversell. We're the founding fathers of affordable VPS, and we've spent since 2010 packing the box.

— What's in the box

Nine things you don't pay extra for.

Most hosts nickel-and-dime you for the panel, the OS images, the control-panel license and the backups. We bundled them. It's a little embarrassing how free it all is.

Stallion control panel

Our custom in-house panel — 5+ years of VPS experience, under constant development. Start/stop/reboot in a click, watch CPU, RAM, bandwidth and disk in real time, set reverse DNS and floating IPs. And it isn't for sale.

100+ OS templates

Over 100 pre-built, one-click templates: every major Linux distro, FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD, blogging platforms, OpenVPN-AS, cPanel, file-sharing and the entire TurnKey Linux lineup. Click and go.

Free DirectAdmin

A DirectAdmin website control-panel license is included free with every KVM Slice — manage sites, databases and email without being a full-time sysadmin. We recommend 1 GB+ RAM; licenses are restricted to BuyVM IPs.

Free snapshots & nightly backups

5 free snapshots per location with every plan — instant restore points before a big change. Want set-and-forget? Add automatic nightly backups for 10% of the base price (or $0.50/mo on 512 MB & 1 GB), 7 days retained.

Managed SQL servers — $1/mo

Offloaded, managed SQL database servers in every datacenter for $1.00/month. MySQL on pure SSD, tuned for thousands of queries per second, reachable over your private IP — so no bandwidth charges.

Free private internal network

Run several services in the same location? Talk between them over our private internal network and pay nothing for the bandwidth. Your internal IPs are listed right inside Stallion.

DDoS protection

Add filtered IPv4 against 3500 Gbps+ / 700M+ pps of Layer 4–7 attacks for $3/mo per IP, available in every location. We pioneered affordable DDoS filtering.

Block Storage add-on

Need more room? Attach Block Storage Slabs at $1.25/mo per 256 GB and hot-migrate them between slices in the same facility — no downtime, no reboots.

Full disk encryption

Hosting something sensitive? KVM supports full disk encryption out of the box, so your data is only ever accessible with your passphrase. Privacy isn't a premium tier here.

— Stallion

The panel we built for ourselves.

Stallion is our custom, in-house control panel — the result of more than five years in the VPS industry, and we're still adding to it. It does everything you need to run a virtual server, and it's part of the BuyVM stable of solutions you can't buy anywhere else.

  • Real-time monitoring of CPU, RAM, bandwidth and hard-drive usage
  • Configure failover / floating IPs, assign IPv6 & Anycast IPs and set reverse DNS in a few clicks
  • Deploy from 100+ distributions & OS templates, and find your private internal IPs
  • Fully compatible with SolusVM — accessible via the same API methods, so your existing tooling just works

Questions, answered.

What is Stallion?
Stallion is BuyVM's custom, in-house control panel for managing your virtual servers — the result of more than five years of VPS experience, and under constant development. Start, stop and reboot with a click; monitor CPU, RAM, bandwidth and disk in real time; configure failover/floating IPs, assign IPv6 & Anycast IPs, set reverse DNS; and deploy from 100+ OS templates. It isn't for sale — it's part of the BuyVM stable of solutions other hosts follow.
Is DirectAdmin free?
Yes — a DirectAdmin website control-panel license is included free with all Dedicated KVM Slice plans, so you can manage sites, databases and email without being a full-time sysadmin. DirectAdmin recommends at least 1 GB of RAM to run comfortably, and licenses are restricted to BuyVM IP addresses.
Do you have an API?
Yes. Stallion is fully compatible with SolusVM and is accessible via the same API methods, so your existing SolusVM scripts and tooling keep working without changes.
What's the difference between snapshots and backups?
Snapshots are instant restore points you create yourself — 5 free per location with every plan — perfect before a big software-stack update or OS upgrade, and great for cloning a template. Backups are automatic: an optional nightly addon at 10% of the base price (or $0.50/month on the 512 MB & 1 GB plans), taken every night with 7 days retained.
Do you offer managed databases?
Yes. Offloaded, managed SQL database servers are available in every datacenter for $1.00/month. They run MySQL on pure SSD, are tuned to handle thousands of queries per second, and are accessible over your private IP — so you incur no bandwidth charges.
