LumaDock lets you scale your virtual server when it makes sense. No long term contracts, no hidden fees. Whether you’re testing, building, or growing infrastructure, you can upgrade instantly and on your terms.
Security comes standard with every LumaDock VPS. From always-on DDoS protection to configurable firewall tools and optional private networking, we give developers the security they need.
Yes, absolutely. All our KVM VPS plans offer full root access and support for custom installations, including:
• Docker and containerized apps
• WireGuard and other VPN protocols
• OpenVPN, IPsec, or custom tunneling tools
• Firewalls and security software
• n8n for workflow automation
• PHP/Node.js/Python web apps and custom stacks
• Self-hosted platforms like Nextcloud, Ghost, WordPress, Matomo, or Uptime Kuma
• Git servers (e.g., Gitea), CI tools, private proxies, and dev environments
You’re free to run any Linux-based software. We recommend choosing at least 2 vCPU / 2 GB RAM if you plan to run Docker, VPN services with multiple clients, or low-resource automation tools like n8n.
Yes, you can run proxies (HTTP/SOCKS5), tunneling tools, scraper stacks, browser bots, or automation scripts. Our VPS platform is flexible and developer-friendly.
For proxy use cases or lightweight automation, a Starter VPS with 2 vCPU / 2 GB RAM is usually enough. For higher concurrency, go with a Performance VPS for better CPU throughput.
Yes. Many traders use our VPS to run MetaTrader 5 (MT5), Expert Advisors (EAs), and other trading bots with low latency and 24/7 uptime.
• MT5 works on Linux via Wine or inside a Windows VM if you bring your own license.
• For smooth performance, we recommend at least 4 vCPU / 4 GB RAM, especially if you’re running multiple terminals or EAs.
Our infrastructure is optimized for stability and low jitter—ideal for trading.
Yes, you can, as long as the app’s requirements fit within the allocated resources. Starter KVM VPS plans are designed for lightweight workloads, such as:
• Small websites or landing pages
• Personal projects or dev/test environments
• Lightweight apps, APIs, or background tasks
For anything resource-intensive or business-critical, we recommend upgrading to a Performance VPS to ensure better CPU allocation and scalability under load.
All LumaDock VPS plans come with a 1 Gbps shared uplink. Your VPS runs on a host node equipped with redundant 1 Gbps connections, and bandwidth is shared among all instances on that host.
While the port speed is 1 Gbps, our network operates on a best-effort basis. In real-world usage, you can typically expect sustained speeds around 250–500 Mbps, depending on overall host load and network activity.
This setup ensures excellent performance for most workloads, including web hosting, development, proxies, VPNs, and general application use.

The main advantage of NVMe is Faster performance: NVMe SSDs can achieve read speeds of up to 6,500 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s, while SATA SSDs are limited to read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and write speeds of up to 510 MB/s.
This means that NVMe SSDs can significantly improve the performance of your computer, especially for tasks that require a lot of data transfer.
VPS and Cloud VPS are both types of virtualized hosting environments that provide a dedicated portion of a physical server's resources to a single user. However, there are some key differences between the two.
Infrastructure:
VPS: A traditional VPS is typically hosted on a single physical server, which is divided into multiple virtual servers using virtualization technology. This means that the VPS shares the physical server's resources with other VPS instances running on the same server.
Cloud VPS: Cloud VPS, on the other hand, is hosted on a distributed cloud infrastructure, which consists of a network of interconnected physical servers. This means that the cloud VPS is not limited to the resources of a single physical server and can benefit from the scalability and resilience of the cloud infrastructure.
Scalability:
VPS: The scalability of a traditional VPS is limited by the physical resources of the underlying server. If the VPS requires more resources, it may be necessary to migrate to a larger physical server or to upgrade the existing server's hardware.
Cloud VPS: Cloud VPS is highly scalable, as it can easily access additional resources from the cloud infrastructure. This means that the cloud VPS can scale up or down as needed to meet the changing demands of the application or website.
Performance:
VPS: The performance of a traditional VPS can be affected by the performance of the underlying server and the number of VPS instances running on the same server. If the server is overloaded or if there are too many VPS instances running, the performance of the individual VPS instances may suffer.
Cloud VPS: Cloud VPS typically offers better performance than traditional VPS, as it benefits from the distributed nature of the cloud infrastructure. The resources of the cloud VPS are not shared with other VPS instances running on the same physical server, and the cloud infrastructure can provide additional resources as needed to ensure optimal performance.
Rest assured, every Cloud Server you choose comes with built-in DDoS Protection at LumaDock. It's automatically activated for everyone, so you don't need to worry about any configuration or additional fees.
We're dedicated to continuous improvement, constantly refining our protection system to counter a wide range of attacks. Like any DDoS protection, we can't promise a 100% impenetrable shield against every imaginable threat.
However, with LumaDock's DDoS Protection, you gain a powerful ally in safeguarding your online presence..
Yes, of course. In the Client Area you can choose to upgrade or downgrade your virtual machines.
If you're not satisfied with our products, you can request a full refund within 30 days of your first order using our ticketing system.
You'll receive a full refund for our products without any questions asked within 5 business days.
This refund policy does not apply to third-party products and licenses such as cPanel, Plesk, and Microsoft software.
Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a popular choice for businesses of all sizes because it offers a balance of performance, scalability, and affordability. Here are some of the key benefits of choosing cloud VPS:
1. Scalability: Cloud VPS is highly scalable, which means that you can easily add or remove resources (CPU, RAM, storage) as your needs change. This is a major advantage over traditional VPS hosting, where you are limited to the resources that you have purchased upfront.
2. Performance: Cloud VPS is typically more performant than shared hosting, as you have dedicated resources that are not shared with other users. This means that your website or application will experience fewer slowdowns and outages.
3. Cost-effectiveness: Cloud VPS is a cost-effective solution for businesses that need more resources than shared hosting but don't need the full power of a dedicated server. With cloud VPS, you only pay for the resources that you use, so you can save money by scaling your resources up or down as needed.
4. Security: Cloud VPS is a more secure hosting option than shared hosting, as your data is stored in a secure cloud environment. Cloud providers also have a variety of security measures in place to protect your data from cyberattacks.
5. Control: Cloud VPS gives you more control over your server environment than shared hosting. You can install your own operating system and software, and you can configure your server to meet your specific needs.
6. Reliability: Cloud VPS is a highly reliable hosting option, as your data is replicated across multiple data centers. This means that your website or application will continue to be up and running even if there is an outage at one of the data centers.
