SmartHost ❯ VPS - KVM - Linux - NVME SSD
Overview: SmartHost’s VPS is located in Japan and runs on KVM virtualization. The service offers preconfigured Linux templates, while no pre-built Windows image is available. Custom ISO support is provided, allowing installation of alternative operating systems if needed. The system is equipped with 1 shared Intel core, 1 GB RAM, and 10 GB NVMe storage, with a monthly bandwidth cap of 1 TB delivered over a 1.0 Gbps port. Both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity are available, and rDNS is enabled; port 25 is open by default.
Potential Use Cases: This configuration is suitable for lightweight server applications. It can run a minimal web server using Nginx or Lighttpd for serving static content, host a microservice or RESTful API developed in frameworks such as Flask or Express, or operate as a basic DNS resolver using Unbound.
Critical Considerations: The limited resources—1 GB RAM and 10 GB NVMe storage—restrict the system to low-load applications. The shared CPU may lead to variable performance under load, and the 1 TB monthly bandwidth cap is insufficient for data-heavy deployments.
