Hypervisor V2 update: it grew into a full KVM cloud, OpenStack-class without the OpenStack pain.

ReadyDedisReadyDedis Hosting ProviderOGServices Provider

Hey LES community,

Some of you saw the original Hypervisor V2 thread when we launched it as a lightweight KVM control panel. Big update: it grew up. Hypervisor.io is now a full self-hosted KVM cloud, the kind of stack you would reach for OpenStack or CloudStack to build, minus the multi-server control plane and the ops headache. One master, as many slave nodes as you like. Provisioning, the cloud-services layer, and billing all in the same box.

The bit we are most proud of: The AI assistant. Not a docs chatbot, it actually provisions. You type "spin up 3 VMs behind a load balancer with SSL" or "resize my Postgres and add a replica" and it reads your real infra and executes through the same API the UI uses. No one else in this category ships that.

Stuff competitors just do not ship (full sheet: https://hypervisor.io/compare/):

Capability Us Others
AI provisioning assistant Yes No
Native billing (meter to invoice to payment to tax) Yes No
Built-in payment gateways Yes No
Self-service customer storefront Yes No
Real-time WebSocket UI Yes No
Managed K8s + autoscaler / S3 / DBaaS Yes Partial or none
Single-node capable Yes No

The rest of the kit:

  • Compute: full KVM lifecycle, live migration, HA monitoring, VNC + browser SSH, GPU passthrough, cloud-init, IPv4 + IPv6
  • Networking: VPC (VXLAN overlay), NAT gateways, VPN gateways, security groups, IP sets, HAProxy load balancers with SSL
  • Data services: managed databases (MySQL / MariaDB / Postgres + replicas + PITR), tenant S3 object storage, managed Kubernetes + autoscaler
  • Backups: streaming backups (S3 / SFTP / FTP / rclone) + volume snapshots with point-in-time rollback
  • Billing: built in (Stripe / PayPal / Razorpay) with metering, multi-currency + tax invoicing, or run WHMCS / Blesta / HostBill / Paymenter
  • Automation: full REST API (OpenAPI docs) plus the AI assistant, so anything the UI does, you script or just ask for

30-day free trial, full platform, no card.

Not here to bash anyone, Virtualizor and Solus are solid and OpenStack/CloudStack scale huge. The difference is we ship the cloud-services layer plus billing plus an AI that runs it as one product. If you just need VM provisioning, the classics do fine. If you want the AWS-style stack on your own metal with invoicing and an AI assistant already wired, that is us, running the same day.

    Hypervisor v3.1.0 is now available as a stable release.

    This release introduces native Proxmox VE 8 and 9 support, allowing existing nodes and clusters to be managed alongside KVM infrastructure from a single platform.

    Key additions include:

    • One-token Proxmox cluster onboarding
    • Complete VM lifecycle management
    • VPC networking and security groups
    • Backups, snapshots and file-level restore
    • Live migration and native high availability
    • Docker, managed databases, load balancers and Kubernetes support
    • Accurate per-NIC bandwidth metering
    • Improved operational visibility and security hardening

    Existing KVM infrastructure remains unaffected.

    Hypervisor v3.1.6 Stable Release

    Version 3.1.6 is a major update focused on System DNS, Kubernetes operations, load balancing and database backup reliability.

    System DNS
    • Every public instance, load balancer, managed database and Kubernetes control plane now receives an automatic hostname under a domain configured by the operator.
    • DNS records are created during provisioning, automatically updated when an IP address changes and removed when the resource is destroyed.
    • A new delegation wizard verifies that the domain is correctly delegated and publicly resolvable before it is activated.
    • Public managed databases automatically receive trusted Let's Encrypt TLS certificates. Customers can securely connect using hostname verification without accepting self-signed certificates.
    • Certificate renewal is handled automatically, while DNS issues never block instance or service provisioning.

    Kubernetes
    • Active node pools can now change instance plans without scaling down to zero.
    • New workers are provisioned and confirmed healthy before existing workers are cordoned, drained and removed. This maintains the required pool capacity throughout the rotation.
    • Administrators can monitor remaining workers on the previous plan and resume interrupted rotations directly from the panel.
    • Kubernetes Services can now use private internal load balancer VIPs instead of exposing services publicly.
    • Improved operation locking prevents conflicting scale, upgrade and rotation operations from running simultaneously.

    Load Balancers and Databases
    • Host-based routing allows a single load balancer to route multiple domains to different backend services.
    • Managed database backups now run independently of the previous 58-minute connection limit.
    • Backup progress displays transferred data in real time, with faster detection of unreachable database servers.

    If you're paying for VirtFusion or Virtualizor right now and want to move:

    • Send a redacted invoice or renewal date. We give you Hypervisor.io free until that term ends. Nothing to pay in the meantime, no card on file.
    • We do the migration with you. A call, screen share, your pace. Not a docs link.
    • If it doesn't work out, you've lost nothing, your existing licence is still running, because we didn't ask you to cancel it. Walk away whenever.

      Up to 10 hypervisors per provider, one claim each, open until the end of time. Longer than 10 nodes, talk to me, it's just not a promise I'll make blind on a forum.

    Things you should know before you bother

    • KVM and Proxmox only. No Xen, no LXC, no OpenVZ. If you're running those on Virtualizor, this isn't a migration, it's a rebuild. Stay where you are.
    • Migration is currently hands-on. An automated importer is being built; today our team does it with you manually. That's why the offer is a call and not a button.
    • The advanced pieces are newer than the VPS pieces. Instances, networking and backups have the most road behind them. Managed Kubernetes and databases are newer.
    • Small team. Same bus-factor question you'd fairly ask any panel this size. Ask it, I'll answer honestly.

    Not here to trash the alternatives. VirtFusion is a good panel and Phill ships. Virtualizor runs a lot of production. If VPS is all you sell, either is a reasonable place to be. This is for people whose customers keep asking for a managed database, load balancers, vpcs or a K8s cluster and who are tired of saying no.

    The automatic DNS and trusted TLS for managed databases sound like particularly useful additions. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has already migrated a production setup from Virtualizor or VirtFusion and how smooth the process was in practice.

    The addition of native Proxmox VE support alongside full VPC and automated DNS/TLS integration makes Hypervisor look like a serious contender. That migration offer is surprisingly generous—having hands-on help rather than just a script is a huge safety net for production nodes. Looking forward to hearing more community feedback as people take you up on it!
