This matters more than it sounds: on OpenVZ and LXC-style hosting the kernel is shared and the provider decides which modules exist. KVM removes that argument entirely.
Docker VPS
Docker VPS hosting in India with KVM and root access
KVM virtualisation gives each server its own kernel, so Docker, containerd and nested container tooling install and behave the way the documentation says they will. That is not true on container-based virtualisation.

Sizing
Three honest starting points.
Pick the row that describes what you have now, not what you hope to have in a year. Moving up a tier later is easier than paying for headroom you never use.
| If you are running | Start at | Specification | Monthly | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A handful of small containers A typical compose stack: app, database, cache, reverse proxy. | VPS 8 | 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM / 80 GB NVMe | ₹1,438 | Deploy |
| Multi-service stack with a real database Give the database its own memory headroom inside the box. | VPS 32 | 12 vCPU / 32 GB RAM / 320 GB NVMe | ₹4,799 | Deploy |
| A single-node Kubernetes or Swarm Control plane plus workloads on one machine needs slack. | VPS 64 | 24 vCPU / 64 GB RAM / 640 GB NVMe | ₹9,599 | Deploy |
The upgrade signal. Move from VPS 8 to VPS 32 when the constraint is measurable — sustained memory pressure or CPU saturation during normal use — rather than because a page told you to.
Worth knowing first
Three things most pages about this leave out.
02
Docker's default logging driver will fill a disk. Set log rotation on day one, not after the first outage.
03
Containers do not give you isolation between tenants. They give you packaging. Root inside a container is close enough to root on the host to matter.
Setup checklist
Do these on day one.
- Set json-file log rotation or ship logs off the box.
- Prune images and build cache on a schedule; disks fill quietly.
- Bind databases to the internal interface, never to 0.0.0.0.
- Keep compose files and volumes backed up separately.

Common questions
Docker VPS, answered.
Can I run Docker on your VPS?
Yes. All plans use KVM hardware virtualisation, so each server runs its own kernel and Docker, containerd, Podman and nested virtualisation tooling install normally.
How much disk does a Docker host need?
More than you expect. Images, build cache, volumes and container logs all accumulate. An 80 GB plan is a comfortable starting point for a small stack; set up pruning and log rotation regardless of size.
Should I run Kubernetes on a single VPS?
For learning and for staging, yes. For production, a single-node cluster gives you Kubernetes' complexity without its availability benefit. A plain compose stack is usually the better answer until you genuinely need multiple nodes.
Is Docker enough to isolate two customers on one server?
No. Containers share the host kernel and a container escape is a real class of vulnerability. Use separate virtual machines for separate tenants, which is what KVM gives you.
