Why rent VPS/VDS Romania (Craiova, Bucharest)? The country is actively working on the development of the IT industry: its share in GDP reaches 6%. The advantages are that the region has high-speed and cheap internet with up to 85% coverage, and the level of tax burden on companies is much lower than in Europe.

Romania's geographical location is advantageous in that projects located here can be promoted to both western (Germany, France, Austria) and eastern audiences (Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia). Startups are actively coming to the country, the IT services outsourcing area is developing, and product companies are appearing. The "Transylvanian Silicon Valley" has been formed.

What is the difference between UPU and VDS?

UPU and VDS in Romania is an ideal alternative to a dedicated server. A UPU/VDS is managed in the same way as a physical server. Due to this, the client has root rights, he can make almost any changes in the operation of the virtual server and software. At the same time, the cost of renting a VPS/VDS will be lower than renting a dedicated server. This is one of the main features and advantages of the service.

By renting a VPS/VDS, you can optimize the cost of renting equipment, but retain the desired performance. A solution for fast-growing and dynamic projects. You can rent UPU/VDU in Romania to meet the needs of demanding and specific projects. As you can see, there are two terms in the name of the service - UPU and VDU. Is there a difference between UPU and VDS?

In the EU countries this name VPS/VDS is perceived by users as something one. In the Russian-speaking segment VPS is associated with OpenVZ, and if they talk about VDS, with KVM. In the first case we are talking about hardware virtualization, and in the second case - with the help of the operating system. This knowledge is enough to understand the main difference between the two acronyms.

OpenVZ technology

OpenVZ is implemented at the OS level. All virtual machines are based on the same Linux kernel. Each virtual machine is a separate server with its own management system to which administrative access is granted.

But the distinctive characteristics of OpenVZ will not appeal to everyone, so be sure to take this into account before renting a virtual server in Romania:

• only Linux operating systems are available;
• only ext4 file system is available;
• you cannot modify the kernel, you will not be able to run some non-standard modules, in particular OpenVPN, PPTP, IPSEC;
• management of the firewall and running processes is limited;
• the administrator can interact with the contents of the virtual server.

OpenVZ technology has a number of advantages:, ease of startup and configuration. Already 10-15 minutes after ordering the service you will be able to deploy your project on VPS/VDS in Romania (Craiova and so on) and receive the first clients.

KVM technology

When they talk about KVM, they mean virtualization with the help of software - hypervisor. This is a specialized solution that acts as a manager for virtual machines. The program provides each of the containers with access to hardware resources and creates conditions for their functioning.

What makes KVM virtualization technology attractive and good? For one, it gives the client more options. Computer scientists call KVM the best alternative to a dedicated server.

Let's consider its main advantages and benefits:

• it is possible to work with any operating system - Windows, FreeBSD, etc.;
• you can format disk space for any file system;
• there is access to sockets, processes, as well as the ability to modify the OS kernel;
• the highest degree of privacy: no one but the user has access to the contents of the container.

What about performance, power of servers? Is there a fundamental difference between OpenVZ and KVM in this respect? OpenVZ technology dynamically distributes all available resources between all machines. So with just one mouse click you can change the limits - change and distribute the available resources in a different way.

Another thing is KVM - this is not possible here: all servers receive a strictly limited amount of resources, and it is not possible to dynamically distribute them. At the same time, it should be noted that KVM is an extremely reliable solution characterized by high fault tolerance.

The only disadvantage is a low degree of flexibility. But the listed advantages of the technology more than cover the listed disadvantages. However, each case is different, so it is important to consider the needs of the project, and, based on this information, to make a decision to rent a virtual server in Romania.
