KoaVM
Comparison

KoaVM and the other panels, feature by feature.

We read the official documentation of SolusVM 2, Virtualizor and VirtFusion. Where we found no written answer, we say so.

Where KoaVM is different

Migration without changing IPs

It moves VPSs off SolusVM, Virtualizor and Proxmox with the same IP and MAC and around ten seconds of measured downtime. The others import from fewer panels, or from none.

Providers inside the panel

OVHcloud, Hetzner, Contabo and Scaleway IPs imported, moved and bought via API; new nodes ordered and prepared from the panel. In the others you follow a manual guide.

Private networks across datacenters

One private network per customer spanning Gravelines, London or wherever your nodes are, with WireGuard tunnels the panel sets up by itself.

Where the others are ahead

  • Virtualizor handles many more virtualisation types (LXC, OpenVZ, Xen, Proxmox); KoaVM does KVM on Incus only.
  • SolusVM, Virtualizor and VirtFusion have been in production for years at thousands of providers. KoaVM is young: 1.0 came out in October 2026, after testing in our lab.
  • The others also have modules for Blesta, HostBill and ClientExec; KoaVM has WHMCS and KoaBilling for now.
