C-Servers Announces Becoming Platform-Independent

cservers

Hello. At C-Servers, we always look for ways to improve our existing offerings and to provide the best possible market pricing for our customers at any point in time.

The recent development on market pricing in several fronts, with relevant increases accross purchasing several components and data-center space, along with some specific improvements we wanted to add to our offer, have led us to do a fundamental change on our most purchased product:

On the next days, C-Servers is departing from VirtFusion and becoming platform-independent.

We'll change our customers to a new platform, C-Servers EagleKey, with several technical advantages and an entirely different, simplified and fully integrated approach to our offering. We're bringing our most-sold product range in-house and adding to it extra possibilities, including Dedicated Servers (soon) and Resellers for our products (also very soon).

Over the past three weeks, over 140.000 lines of code were written and many tests and hardening were conducted, function-wise and security-wise, in order to guarantee our customers the best possible experience. Our chosen basis, .NET 10 LTS with Blazor, also allows us to do runtime changes with minimal to zero disruption at any point in time and to correct and react to any issues very quickly, which is an advantage. Our agent on the nodes, written in Go, allows our customers to have more performance available by not having to run PHP on every dedicated server.

We're also introducing several brand-new technologies for the benefit of our customers: this includes Cloud Hypervisor KVM with microVMs (Direct Linux Kernel) and several RAM improvements both from CHV and from us on this new launch. A Debian 13 VM under CHV, with the optimizations, has reduced from around 220MB to just 85MB without removing essential packages - providing you more room for what you wish to do.

Our NAT management also changes, from iptables to nftables, with improved response and technical conditions for our IPv4 NAT customers and a new button, "Flush NAT", automatically available for customers, in order to address a long-reported rare technical bug with connections on NAT. IPv6 provisioning will also start to be automatic on Zeta.9 Coventry and general dual-NIC servers as well.

The management interface at the WebStore will not change; it's only the Portal, and several underlying specifics, that change.

Most importantly: OS changes to CHV are opt-in, meaning that the templates are there should you wish to save on RAM on your system, but by default you'll still stay on QEMU/KVM; and the migration will incur zero server and zero IPv6 downtime, with a mere 15-second downtime for NAT IPv4 only due to the automated change from iptables to nftables, when it happens.

Lastly, this change allows us to publicly commit to this very important announcement: our low prices will be kept low. No increases for 2026 at C-Servers! We hope these news make you happy.

This is just a small summary on the upcoming improvements. Full details on the many, many technical specifics, reasoning and improvements are available here.

Let's C-Servers independently, shall we?

Have a great weekend!
