VPS for Docker and Containers
Run Docker and Docker Compose on a VPS you fully control. Every VeloxMedia server ships with full root access, NVMe SSD storage, unmetered data transfer, and a dedicated IPv4, so you can pull images, build containers, and route traffic without per-gigabyte charges or artificial limits.
Choose your operating system, deploy the VPS in about 60 seconds, and have the Docker Engine running within minutes. Ubuntu and Debian are ready for the standard install, and root access means you own the daemon config, storage driver, and container networking. Plans start at $5 per month with no setup fees, and one-click reinstall returns a host to a clean OS whenever you want to start over.
Containers run on clustered infrastructure with automatic failover and replicated NVMe storage, so a single hardware fault does not take your stack offline. During maintenance, zero-downtime live migration moves your VPS to healthy hardware while long-running containers keep serving traffic.
- Full root access to install Docker Engine, Compose, Podman, and k3s
- NVMe SSD for fast image pulls, builds, and container volumes
- Unmetered data transfer with no bandwidth caps or overage fees
- 1 dedicated IPv4 with reverse DNS and network-layer firewall rules
- Deploy in 60 seconds, one-click reinstall to a clean host
- Clustered HA with automatic failover and zero-downtime live migration
Full root access for the complete container toolchain
Full root on every plan means the entire container toolchain is yours to install and configure. Set up Docker Engine and Docker Compose on Ubuntu or Debian, or run Podman and Buildah on AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, or CentOS. Alpine keeps the host small for lean images. Edit daemon.json to choose your storage driver, logging, and registry mirrors, run privileged or rootless containers, and stand up single-node Kubernetes such as k3s for local testing. Nothing about the daemon is locked down.
NVMe storage for fast pulls, builds, and volumes
Container work is storage-bound as much as CPU-bound. Image pulls, layer extraction, build cache, and container filesystems all hit disk, and database or queue containers depend on fast volume I/O. Every VPS runs on NVMe SSD backed by distributed, replicated storage, so pulls and builds finish quickly and persistent volumes stay responsive under load. Replication means a single failed drive does not take your data with it. Snapshot the whole disk before a risky compose up, then roll back if a new image misbehaves.
Expose containers with a dedicated IPv4 and firewall rules
Each server includes one dedicated IPv4, so you can publish services, point domains at your containers, and terminate TLS at a reverse proxy such as Traefik, Caddy, or Nginx. Map container ports in your Compose file, then use platform firewall rules to decide which ports are reachable. Because those rules apply at the network layer, they filter traffic before it reaches the host, independent of the iptables entries Docker writes on its own. Reverse DNS is configurable from the portal for mail containers and service records, and unmetered transfer means image pulls and outbound traffic never trigger overage fees.
Plans sized from one container to a full stack
Six uniform plans scale with your workload. Micro at 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM runs a few lightweight containers, a bot, or a static site behind a proxy. Small at 2 vCPU and 4 GB and Medium at 4 vCPU and 8 GB fit a typical Compose stack of application, database, and cache. Plus adds memory at 4 vCPU and 12 GB for heavier databases, while Pro at 6 vCPU and 16 GB and Max at 8 vCPU and 32 GB handle multi-service stacks, staging environments, and data-heavy jobs. Storage runs from 20 GB on Micro to 200 GB of NVMe on Max. Pricing starts at $5 per month, Amsterdam from $6, and annual billing includes two months free. Deploy in London, Amsterdam, US East in Ohio, or US West in California, with Warsaw, Montreal, and Utah coming soon.
Snapshots, rescue mode, and a browser console for safe deploys
Deploys stay reversible. Snapshot the VPS before an upgrade, then restore in place if a stack breaks. If the Docker daemon will not start or you lock yourself out over SSH, boot into rescue mode or open the browser-based console over VNC, SSH, or RDP and fix the host directly. One-click reinstall wipes a host back to a clean OS in about 60 seconds when you would rather rebuild. CPU, memory, and bandwidth graphs show how containers consume resources, scheduled backups protect your data, and built-in vulnerability monitoring flags known issues on the host. Support is available 24/7 through the customer portal.
VPS for Docker and Containers questions
Can I install Docker on a VeloxMedia VPS?
Yes. Every plan includes full root access, so you can install Docker Engine, Docker Compose, and Podman on Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, CentOS, or Alpine. You control the daemon configuration, storage driver, and container networking, and you can run a single-node Kubernetes such as k3s for testing.
Which plan do I need for my containers?
Match the plan to your stack. Micro at 1 vCPU and 2 GB runs a few lightweight containers or a bot. Small at 2 vCPU and 4 GB and Medium at 4 vCPU and 8 GB handle a typical Compose stack of app, database, and cache. Plus, Pro, and Max scale up to 8 vCPU and 32 GB for memory-heavy databases and multi-service stacks. You can move up a plan as your containers grow.
How do I expose my container ports to the internet?
Every VPS gets a dedicated IPv4. Map your container ports in Docker or a Compose file, then use platform firewall rules to control which ports are reachable. Many users run a reverse proxy such as Traefik, Caddy, or Nginx to route domains to containers, and reverse DNS is configurable from the portal.
What happens to my containers during hardware maintenance?
Your VPS runs on clustered infrastructure with replicated NVMe storage and automatic failover. For planned maintenance, zero-downtime live migration moves your server to healthy hardware, so long-running containers keep running. You can also snapshot before major changes and restore if a deploy goes wrong.
