Fast-as-metal LXC and KVM VPSes from MetalVPS.com are delivered as soon as manual review of your order is completed and your VPS is checked for proper operation.
Order review and VPS checking can take up to 24 hours because of international time zone differences and 😴 the need for sleep.

Version: The server version of the selected Linux distribution will be pre-installed on your fast-as-metal VPS.
Root: You, the client, are root on your fast-as-metal VPS.
Login: Your fast-as-metal VPS will be delivered with your ed25519 ssh public key installed. MetalVPS.com support will help you make a key if you do not already have one.
Web GUI: Clients may access the bare metal host node's open source Proxmox web graphical user interface (GUI). Via the web GUI clients can stop, start, reboot, backup, restore, or reinstall their VPS.
Transparency about performance: The Proxmox web GUI also permits clients to monitor performance of the bare metal host node as well as performance of their own VPS. For both the host node and their own VPS, clients can see the load averages as well as graphs of CPU, memory, network, and disk I/O performance.

How are fast-as-metal LXC VPSes faster than other kinds of VPSes?
LXC VPSes are faster than other kinds of VPSes because LXC VPSes run directly on the same kernel and on the same hardware actually powering the bare metal host machine. KVM and other slower VPSes require an additional, complex, intermediate software layer to emulate all the hardware of the virtual machine. KVM and other slower VPSes must run on top of their complex, intermediate software emulation layer insead of directly on the kernel and the hardware of the host machine.
When must a slower kind of VPS be used?
A slower kind of VPS like KVM must be used when (a) a special kernel is required or (b) when privileged operations withheld from LXC VPSes for safety reasons are required.
