C-Servers Announces Migration to VirtFusion-Based VPS Services
cservers
Hosting Provider
At C-Servers, we are continuously committed to refining our commercial offering and delivering reliable, high-performance services at competitive prices. Throughout such a process, we actively listen to our customers and incorporate their feedback accordingly.
Following sustained user feedback and the recent in-house development of a provisioning module for our billing platform, WiseCP, we have taken the difficult decision to deprecate SolusVM 2 as our primary VPS management panel.
And, as of 23 December 2025, C-Servers will begin to market VirtFusion-based VPS services on our main offerings, under the MultiVPS and JumboDisk product tiers - starting with our new server in Falkenstein, Germany.
The VirtFusion platform will also be adopted progressively across product launches and new service lines in additional locations, as well as existing VPS services, with customer migrations planned to begin in 2026, ensuring a controlled and smooth transition to our existing customers - as much as possible.
Why Transition from an Established Platform?
This decision was not taken lightly.
When SolusVM was originally selected, it followed extensive internal testing and was, at the time, aligned with our requirements for usability and customer experience. However, as our infrastructure and customer base have grown, several structural and operational limitations became progressively clear.
The primary driver behind this transition is network and NAT handling. SolusVM’s long-standing lack of native NAT functionality has led us to seek external implementations, which introduced complexity and operational friction. Over the past 12 months, we observed repeated customer difficulties related to NAT usage, resulting in avoidable support overhead and, of course, the natural inconvenience it brought.
In addition, several other usability difficulties influenced our decision, including:
» Manual intervention requirements when virtual machines fail to restart automatically after host reboots, impacting overall uptime,
» Specific, occasional Open vSwitch-configured network discovery behaviors causing (very punctually) added latency, which only started to occur after a relevant number of VPS users were on dedicated servers;
» Backup tooling limitations, particularly performance and throughput.
Advantages of VirtFusion
With VirtFusion, we are introducing a more modern, resilient, and scalable architecture. We are explicitly abandoning our previous NAT system through socat and NAT64/DNS64, and we are focusing on a DNS-direct, NAT-direct solution.
Whenever possible, we'll use MacVTap; but on NAT solutions, we're now using libvirt bridging paired with Cloudflare DNS servers.
Other improvements include:
» Expanded NAT port allocations, increasing from 10+5 to 20+3 ports,
» Full support for standard IPv4-to-IPv4 service hosting, compatibility with all common web hosting control panels, and customer-managed NAT port ranges.
These changes significantly enhance flexibility, performance, and overall value for VPS customers—particularly for networking-intensive workloads.
Beyond networking, customers will also experience relevant improvements in usability, performance consistency, and operational/uptime reliability, delivered through a platform that is both widely adopted and well-established in the industry.
Importantly, this transition does not materially affect pricing, which solely increases on the range of 0,10 USD per month for newer customers. Of course, upon migration, existing customers will retain their current pricing with C-Servers.
So, when will it be available?
The first VirtFusion-based MultiVPS plans will be available for immediate deployment starting at 11h00 GMT +0, at our website.
A new chapter awaits - and with you, more than ever before, we are making sure you C-Servers.
Merry Christmas!

So you're going to reduce the amount of available UDP ports with this "upgrade"?
Hey teamacc. You're a dick. (c) Jon Biloh, 2020.
This means $118.80 increase for the 99-year plan.
No hostname available. affbrr
Any deals?
good
VirtFusion by default offers all ports as TCP/UDP and Libvirt doesn't distinguish between protocols. So they will actually increase - 4x. And UDP reliability will increase too.
We have the main coupon available on our website, "OHMYGOD", which provides a 33% recurring discount on MultiVPS and JumboDisk, also valid for these servers and until 6 January 2026.
Just one final detail: this server is still in soft-launch, so manually activated for the next 2/3 days. We are ironing out some last-minute networking specifics we are encountering with Libvirt and working together with VirtFusion's team (who said embracing a new platform was easy?). So if you buy, bear that in mind, some patience could be necessary - but it will be absolutely worth it.
The disks on this are so fast... and the VM feels very snappy. It's very satisfying to see.
Just to give a heads up - the servers have been started to be automatically activated, so it's not soft-launched, it's now entirely launched.
Merry Christmas!
I want that. But I already have Finland 2C2G for $5/y.

I got the 2 TB JumboDisk without realizing it was NAT (my fault for not reading closely). But now that it's up and running, it does feel reasonably snappy. It's a great price, I hope it continues to run well.
Hey I've only just realized you guys have lifetime servers (https://web.c-servers.co.uk/category/multivps-one-time-paid-servers) . Interesting expanding idea like Servarica. Anyone tried them? @Ympker ?
Looks like the OHMYGOD coupon works on them as well bringing the Balanced plan down to 66 dollars. I think in price and specs that's roughly equivalent to ZAP. Very intrigued by ZAP and other lifetime plans but not a fan of the "you have to log in every 3 months" thing.
@cservers are there any restrictions like that on these lifetime plans, like they could be deactivated if I'm not logging in?
Also, it says the medium one time plan is based on the CentralVPS-2560. Does that mean that they are using the new virtfusion panel instead of the SolusVM that I see in parens next to the offering?
Thanks for the tag, haven't tried them yet though
That said, for lifetime vps, I'd probably still prefer ZAP even with the login requirement. They'll send an email reminder if you forget anyway. However, I'd also choose ZAP since they've been in the German Hosting Market since 10+ years, their discord is highly frequented by customers, the support replies in 10-20 mins to most tickets and overall I trust the company will be around for years to come. I also like that they transparently publish their lifetime vs rental numbers. I don't know cservers enough to be able to really evaluate this deal, but generally speaking a lifetime deal where the company disappears after a year isn't really the better deal just because you don't have to regularly login imho. Not to say cservers won't be around. Again, I'm not familiar with the service. However, I've seen many lifetimes disappear (few that I myself bought, but others I know), so while it's always a gamble, I'll rather gamble with a good feeling about the company I invest in.

Yeah I agree, ZAP is definitely the safe bet and I recommended it to a friend this black Friday as they were paying digital ocean like 20 bucks a month just to host an RSS reader and some DNS stuff. Went pretty smooth other than some language and keyboard layout defaulting to German!
I have a bit of an obsession with Lifetimes and in all out of buying over 20-30 lifetime deals there were maybe only 3 that went under. Oh wait, and myW, but I got more than my money's worth for that one. The rest I've gotten massive returns out of.
Lifetime VPS are more rare so I tend to take note of them when I can.
