ESXi
Bare metal hypervisor for running and managing virtual machines with enterprise grade performance and stability.
About ESXi
VMware ESXi is a bare metal hypervisor designed to run and manage virtual machines directly on physical hardware with minimal overhead. It is widely used in enterprise and professional environments to consolidate servers, improve resource utilization, and simplify infrastructure management through virtualization.
ESXi operates without a traditional host operating system, which reduces attack surface and increases performance and stability. It serves as the foundation of many virtualized data centers and private cloud environments around the world.
Common Use Cases
System administrators deploy ESXi to virtualize multiple servers on a single physical machine, running operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and BSD in isolated virtual machines.
Enterprises use ESXi to build private virtualization platforms for hosting business applications, databases, and internal services with centralized management and resource allocation.
Service providers and labs rely on ESXi for testing, training, and sandbox environments where multiple operating systems and network configurations are required simultaneously.

Why Deploy ESXi on a VPS or Dedicated Environment
Running ESXi in a dedicated VPS server hosting or dedicated environment is useful for testing, lab setups, and nested virtualization scenarios where full control over virtual machines is required.
Dedicated infrastructure allows administrators to experiment with virtualization, networking, and storage configurations without impacting production systems.
By using scalable cloud servers or dedicated hardware, teams gain flexible infrastructure for virtualization labs, training environments, and advanced infrastructure testing with full ownership of virtual machine data.
