The Link Cloud, built on OpenStack

From a single virtual machine to your own virtual data center and Kubernetes clusters — every service ordered, billed and managed in one portal, in Erbil and London.

Compute

Virtual machines

VPS in minutes, any OS

Linux or Windows virtual servers with SSD disks, public IPs, a browser console and snapshots. Pick a size, a region and an operating system, and it's running in minutes.

  • Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky, Windows Server
  • Start, stop, restart and console from the portal
  • Snapshots, daily backups and custom images
  • Scale up CPU, memory and disk any time

Dedicated VMs (VDS)

Dedicated CPU, no neighbours

Virtual servers on dedicated CPU cores for steady, predictable performance — ideal for databases, game servers and busy applications.

  • Dedicated vCPU cores
  • No monthly contract
  • Same portal, console and backups as VMs

Virtual data centers

Your own pool of CPU, RAM & IPs

Rent a pool of vCPU, memory, storage, public IPs and networks, then build and remove as many VMs as you like inside it — your own data center, without the hardware.

  • Private networks and your own address ranges
  • Create VMs and disks freely within the pool
  • Grow the pool when you need more

High availability

VMs that restart on failure

Protect important virtual machines: if a host fails, they are restarted automatically on a healthy one.

  • Automatic recovery from host failures
  • Works with your existing VMs

Containers

Kubernetes (LKS)

Managed clusters, scale nodes

Link Kubernetes Service: production-ready clusters with a kubeconfig download, worker scaling and health at a glance.

  • Choose the Kubernetes version
  • Scale worker nodes from the portal
  • Download kubeconfig and use kubectl

OKD / OpenShift

Container platform projects

Projects on our OKD (OpenShift) container platform with quotas, a web console and everything your pipelines need.

  • Web console and CLI access
  • CPU, memory and storage quotas
  • Build, deploy and scale containers

Deployment templates

Whole stacks in one click

Deploy complete environments — servers, networks and disks — from ready-made templates.

  • Repeatable deployments
  • Whole stacks in one order

Automation

Scheduled cloud workflows

Schedule routine work such as nightly stops and starts, snapshots and clean-ups.

  • Run on a schedule
  • Save money on idle servers

Storage & networking

Disks & snapshots

SSD block storage

Extra SSD disks you can attach, detach and grow, with snapshots for safe changes.

  • Attach to any VM in the region
  • Grow without downtime
  • Snapshots in one click

Backups & images

Daily backups, custom images

Daily backups you can restore in a click, and custom images to clone your servers.

  • Automatic daily backups
  • Restore or clone from a backup
  • Your own server images

Networks & public IPs

Private networks, firewalls

Private networks between your servers, extra public IPs and firewall rules (security groups).

  • Private networks and subnets
  • Extra public IPv4 addresses
  • Firewall rules per server

Load balancers

Spread traffic, stay online

Spread traffic across several servers with health checks, so your site stays online when one server fails.

  • HTTP, HTTPS and TCP
  • Health checks
  • Rules by host and path

Security & operations

Cloud DNS

Zones and records

Host your DNS zones on Link name servers and edit records instantly.

  • A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and more
  • Changes go live in seconds

Key vault

Secrets & certificates

Keep passwords, keys and certificates safe and encrypted, out of your code.

  • Encrypted storage
  • Access from your applications

Monitoring & alerts

Usage charts, alarms

Charts of CPU, memory, disk and network use, with alerts by email when something needs attention.

  • Usage charts for every server
  • Email alerts on thresholds
Questions
