The Virtual Machine – Power, Flexibility, and Control in the Cloud
A Virtual Machine (VM) is your very own server in the cloud – giving you the power and flexibility of a physical machine, without the cost or complexity of managing hardware. Whether you’re hosting a website, running apps, testing code, or building something big, a VM gives you full control and reliable performance.
At Fiberax, our VMs are built on fast, secure infrastructure using KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualisation – one of the most trusted technologies in the world. You get a fully isolated environment with dedicated resources, high-speed SSD storage, and root access – so you can install what you want, when you want, and run it your way.
A virtual machine works just like a traditional server, but lives entirely in the cloud. That means you can access it from anywhere, scale it as needed, and enjoy better uptime, security, and efficiency – all with no physical maintenance.
Whether you need a small server for a project or a powerful setup for a production system, Fiberax VMs give you the tools to build, launch, and grow with confidence.

The Virtual Machine – FAQ
What is a virtual machine (VM)?
A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based computer that runs in the cloud. It works just like a physical server but gives you more flexibility, allowing you to run applications, host websites, and manage data without dealing with hardware.
How does a VM work?
A VM runs on a physical server using virtualisation technology like KVM. It has its own CPU, RAM, storage, and operating system, making it completely isolated from other VMs. You can install software, configure settings, and control it just like a standalone server.
What are virtual machines used for?
VMs are incredibly versatile! You can use them for:
- Hosting websites and applications
- Running databases and backend systems
- Software development and testing
- Creating private VPNs or proxy servers
- Gaming servers and automation tasks
What’s the difference between a VM and a physical server?
A physical server is an actual machine, while a VM is a virtual instance that runs on a server. VMs are more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective because you don’t need to buy, maintain, or upgrade hardware yourself.
What operating systems can I run on my VM?
With Fiberax, you can run various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, etc.) and Windows Server editions. If you have a specific OS in mind, just let us know!
Can I upgrade my VM later?
Yes! You can easily scale up your VM by adding more CPU, RAM, or storage as your needs grow. No need to start over – just upgrade and keep going.
How do I access my VM?
You can connect to your VM using SSH (for Linux) or Remote Desktop (for Windows). You’ll also have access to our user-friendly dashboard for easy management.
Are virtual machines secure?
Absolutely. Each VM is isolated from others, and you can set up additional security measures like firewalls, encryption, and VPNs. Our infrastructure also includes advanced security to protect your data.
Do I need technical skills to use a VM?
It helps to have some basic knowledge, especially if you’re managing a server yourself. But don’t worry – our support team is here 24/7 if you need a hand!
How do I get started with a Fiberax VM?
Just choose your VM plan, pick an operating system, and deploy – it only takes a few minutes! If you’re not sure what you need, contact our team, and we’ll help you find the perfect setup.
