We have 2 main stacks that we offer our VPS under
Xen and KVM
Xen is the older one and the most feature rich , it has High availability , daily disk increases and daily bandwidth limit increase and some other features
KVM is introduced this year and we still didnt port the features to it but it is much much faster than xen in terms of disk speed
So if you are ordering any vps with NVMe or SSD you better go with KVM , if you order storage vm and you just want to use it for backups you can go with xen due to the features
For the difference between SLIM and FAT is the storage size
FAT slices have double the storage of SLIM slices
So if you need a lot of NVMe space relitive to each cpu core go with FAT slices
it is bidirectionally
yes since it is on kvm the NVMe disk performs muc better than in xen
yes just open a ticket
If I missed any question please let me know
I think i went through all questions
When Chimera Hybrid Plan 1 or 2 will be back in stock?
Planning this Tuesday
adding more than 300x disks these days for those plans
Yay, waiting for restock!
@servarica_hani Have the expanding storage plans been discontinued, or are they unavailable now due to disk shortage?
$7/Yr deals more
Chimera Hybrid Plans are all restocked
Exactly
but we will restock them within 3 weeks approx as well we just need to install the disks and test them etc
I forgot to mention
Due huge hike in NVMe prices we made the nvme disk 65GB instead of 90GB in the old plan
Sorry for that I was forced to do this as every component price increased significantly in just few months with is counter intuitive as usually with time things get cheaper not more expensive
Thanks
here are the links

actually all plans here are in stock

Thanks, got a Chimera 1!
Are there any plans to migrate Xen to KVM? The performance issues caused by Xen have persisted for quite some time.
No IPV6 hall of shame!
Hi @servarica_hani
The KVM Slices https://clients.servarica.com/store/kvm-vps-plans are listed as dedicated cores rather than shared. Your KVM Slim Slice 4vcpu/16GB/500NVME/10Gbps is $8/mth while your Xen based Octopus VDS 2 4vcpu/16GB/150NVME/1GBPS is $15/mth is listed specifically as a VDS so the KVM Slices seem like a better deal at nearly half the price.
Does KVM Slices represent a mid tier between VPS and VDS, not to be treated like a VDS but better than a VPS?
Or are you waiting to get KVM cpu pinning at parity with Xen pinning before marketing it as a VDS?
There is a mention of Chimera pricing being early adopter pricing and will go up 20% after you gather user feedback ... does this apply to the KVM Slices? Is this why the pricing for Slices looks so good?
Thanks
waiting for black friday deals..
Also waiting for some good black friday deals.
They do have IPv6, but you have to contact their support, and they’ll add a /128.
@servarica_hani waiting for stock on Unified plans
users are free to switch between kvm and xen we will keep both infra running and users choose what they want
but we will not migrate anyone and both infra will remain
We have ipv6 by request just ask for it
Both are VDS and dedicated and both run on same platform from now (hardware)
simply slices are newer plans and we introduced them when EPYC CPUs with 32 and 64 cores were available which lowered the cost per core compared when Octopus was initially introduced where the cpus were older Inel with limited core count
We dont delete old plans till they are too old as some users get recommended exact plan and they insist on it so we keep old plans for longer
They are coming this week
We will restock most of our plans in high demand and we will add few more plans and dedicated line
Thanks
but we will not migrate anyone and both infra will remain
I consulted customer service that switching from Xen to KVM would result in the loss of support for daily disk and bandwidth increases.
Got a fat slice from them and loving the experience so far. I might cancel my unmetered dedicated server to shift to their fat slice but the only hindrance is gonna be bandwidth limit.
Other than that, amazing performance.
I have 3 VPs from them, and the performance is outstanding. I'm loving it already!
Performance for the price is outstanding! I'm testing Proxmox 9 nested on top of Servarica's proxmox hypervisor and zfs nested inside the hypervisor's zfs and am really happy with the results on a kvm slice 2 and slice 4 and chimera hybrid-1. At this price point I always got stymied with other vendor's limits making Proxmox run poorly because of lack of memory/bandwidth/cpu/disk size. These hit the sweet spot. Nice work! I run some dedis and might move some vm's/containers over to save some money.
