Why this lander exists

Cloudzy and XmrCloud own the “Whonix VPS” query because they put the distro name on a page. Nested virt and custom ISO are already standard on every KVM we rent, so here is the query match — with an honest sizing note: Whonix is a pair of VMs. The 4 GB Core is tight for a VM pair. Start at Prime, $9.60/mo on the annual term (4 vCPU / 8 GB; $12 list), or Titan ($19.20/mo annual, 32 GB) when a workstation desktop joins the pair.

How to do it without cargo-cult ISOs

  1. Provision Core in Reykjavik or Zurich when jurisdiction is the reason you searched. Every city bills the same list price.
  2. Check the nested flag first — grep -E 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo — then load the nested module your distro documents.
  3. Fetch the official Whonix KVM qcow2 from whonix.org's KVM wiki, verify signatures, and skip the random “Whonix ISO” mirrors.
  4. Give the Gateway the only NIC with a default route; the Workstation reaches the internet through the Gateway and nothing else.

Sizing beyond a slice: when the Gateway/Workstation pair shares the host with heavier services, dedicated metal with IPMI and ECC starts at $49 list; archives and media belong on Titan's 320 GB NVMe at $24/mo list.

Adjacent reading: hosting onion services, running an exit (AUP unchanged), a privacy-tools stack and token-only signup.

Vs Cloudzy / XmrCloud

They monetize the keyword. On our side: twelve locations, XMR at checkout, no KYC on any tier, and dedicated metal when two nested VMs on a shared host stop being the right primitive. Nested virt is part of the SKU here, not a ticket you open.

More rankings and guides

Core or Core?

Core is the realistic floor for Gateway plus Workstation — 4 GB at $4.80/mo annual. The Core's 4 GB will swap.

Custom ISO besides Whonix?

Any KVM-bootable x86_64 image works: pfSense, OpenBSD, NixOS and the rest. You upload it.

Do you allow Tor?

Relays, onion services and Whonix routing, yes. CSAM and attacks remain banned by the AUP.

Is dedicated better for the whole pair?

If you want Gateway and Workstation on silicon you do not share, yes — metal with IPMI and ECC starts at $49 list, $39.20 annual-eff.
