Reselling VPS from your own Proxmox server
One client per virtual machine, your panel, your brand — and the questions to settle before selling.
Starting at from €13.99/mo
Introduction
Renting a Proxmox VDS and carving virtual machines out of it for your own clients is a proven way to start a hosting business. You keep the hypervisor, you decide the templates, and your clients only see what you let them see.
Sizing is done by memory. If you sell 4 GB VPS, the XL plan at €37.99/month and its 48 GB carries about ten with the headroom the host needs. The 16 IPv4 available let you give one per client rather than forwarding everything from the host.
Three points are not technical and should be settled before the first sale: you become a host in the eyes of the law, with the obligations that follow; your clients expect an availability you will have to hold; and backups become your responsibility, not theirs. We supply the server and the network, not that part.
What the server brings, across the whole range
Proxmox VE already installed
The server arrives with <strong>Proxmox VE</strong> in place and its web interface reachable. You create your virtual machines and LXC containers from the browser, without a support ticket or a wait. <strong>Reinstalls are unlimited</strong>: an experiment that goes wrong is redone in minutes.
RAM, because that is what runs out first
On a hypervisor it is almost never the processor that caps out first: it is <strong>memory</strong>, because every virtual machine reserves its own. The range starts at <strong>16 GB</strong> and goes up to <strong>96 GB</strong>, which leaves room to stack several VMs without starving them.
Unlimited snapshots and backups
A snapshot before an update, another before a configuration change: that is what separates a test from a gamble. Neither the count nor the frequency is billed, so nothing discourages taking one more.
Up to 16 additional IPv4 addresses
Each VM can hold its own public address, which avoids routing everything through port forwards on the host. Useful as soon as a virtual firewall, a web server and a third-party service have to coexist cleanly.
How people go about it
One template, cloned on demand
A model VM prepared once, cloned on every order. Delivery goes from hours to minutes.
One IPv4 per client
Each has their address and their ports, with no forwarding from the host. Simpler to document and simpler to troubleshoot.
A panel in front of the hypervisor
Your clients do not reach Proxmox directly: an intermediate interface gives them reboot, console and backups, and nothing more.
Start small and grow
The S plan for the first clients, then a plan upgrade as memory fills. A second server the day one is no longer enough.
Isolate properly
One VM per client, never shared containers: if one is compromised, the neighbour is untouched. That is what separates serious reselling from the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Nothing forbids it on our side. Just know that you become a host in the sense of French law, with data retention and legal request obligations. Look into it before the first sale.
Divide the memory by what you sell, keeping 4 GB for the host. On 48 GB, about ten 4 GB VPS is reasonable filling.
No, the VDS ships with Proxmox and nothing else. Many resellers plug a billing and provisioning tool into the Proxmox API; the choice of tool and the installation are yours.
Proxmox can cap CPU, memory and disk throughput per VM. Set those limits when you build the template rather than after the first incident.
