The catalogue
Every line runs true KVM with full root, ships DDoS mitigation and a routed IPv6 /64, and is bought without giving us your name.
OnionVPS sells five VPS lines. Skiff is shared-core KVM from $4/month. Cutter is dedicated-core for production workloads. Clipper is high-frequency for latency-sensitive work. Hold is storage-optimised at terabyte scale. Bastion is hardened, LUKS-encrypted and offshore-only. All five are KVM, no-KYC and crypto-only, available across 138 locations.
| Included | What it means |
|---|---|
| Full root / Administrator access | Including custom kernels, nested virtualisation and raw sockets. |
| True KVM virtualisation | Not a container. Your own kernel, your own /proc, no shared namespace. |
| Custom ISO upload | Boot anything: OpenBSD, NixOS, Whonix, a hand-rolled image. |
| Out-of-band VNC console | Recover a broken network config without opening a ticket. |
| Routed IPv6 /64 | Not a single address — a whole subnet, at no cost. |
| Always-on DDoS mitigation | Up to 12 Tbps of edge scrubbing capacity, included at every tier. |
| Three free snapshots | Instant, and taken without pausing the instance. |
| Self-service reverse DNS | Set PTR records from the panel; essential for mail. |
| Full REST API and Terraform provider | Everything the panel does, scriptable. |
| No identity verification, ever | An email address you control is the only account identifier we hold. |
Skiff for anything idle most of the time — VPN, DNS, a small bot. Cutter for production applications and databases. Clipper when single-thread latency decides the outcome. Hold when you are buying terabytes. Bastion when jurisdiction and disk encryption are the point.
Yes, without exception. We do not sell OpenVZ or LXC containers as virtual servers, which is why Docker, WireGuard, custom kernels, nested virtualisation and the BSDs all work here.
A shared vCPU is scheduled against other tenants, so under contention your process waits — visible as steal time. A dedicated vCPU is a physical thread reserved for you. Skiff and Hold use shared cores; Cutter, Clipper and Bastion use dedicated ones.
