Same full root. Zero sizing spreadsheet.
Kamatera is a highly configurable global cloud where you size CPU, RAM and disk yourself across many zones. Nxeon is the simpler path: fixed, all-in NVMe/ZFS plans near Asia with managed extras built in — compared honestly, row by row.

Three reasons the move sticks
A fixed plan instead of a sizing exercise
Kamatera has you configure CPU, RAM and disk yourself across many zones. Nxeon ships fixed, all-in plans with sensible defaults already chosen.
Managed extras come with the plan
Daily backups, instant snapshots and one-click resize ship with every Nxeon plan rather than being configured server-by-server.
Migration isn't left to you
Kamatera's migration is self-service. Ours is a one-click, read-only scan that brings your whole stack up on Nxeon automatically.
Switching from Kamatera? We move everything.
Point us at your old server. A read-only scan finds your apps, databases and containers, then we copy them to the same paths and bring them back up — while you watch it happen.
- Apps, databases & Docker/compose — moved for you
- Restored to the exact same paths, no reconfig
- We start what we can, and flag anything manual — honestly
Connect your old server
Read-only. We never store your credentials.
No agent to install. Nothing changes on this server.
A straight answer
No comparison wins every use case. Here's the honest split.
Choose Nxeon if…
- You want a simple, fixed plan rather than sizing a server yourself
- You want game servers, domains and one-click apps in one dashboard
- You value managed extras and a 99.9% uptime SLA
- You'd like a free one-click migration off your current host
Choose Kamatera if…
- You want to fine-tune CPU, RAM and disk independently
- You need a specific global region outside Asia-Pacific
- You prefer hourly billing that scales up and down
- You're comfortable managing and migrating servers yourself
Loved by teams who moved
“I didn't want to size CPU, RAM and disk from scratch every time. A fixed plan with sane defaults was exactly what I needed.”
“Backups and snapshots used to be something I configured per server. Now they're just there.”
“Migration wasn't left up to me this time — a scan, a copy, and it was running on the new box.”
Common questions
Is Nxeon a good Kamatera alternative?+
Kamatera is a highly configurable global cloud where you size CPU, RAM and disk yourself across many zones. Nxeon is the simpler path: fixed, all-in NVMe/ZFS plans in Singapore with game servers, domains, managed extras and free migration built in. If you want low APAC latency without sizing a server from scratch, Nxeon is a focused alternative.
Do both give full root access?+
Yes — both are real VPS products with full root over SSH. The difference is packaging: Kamatera is configurable and scales with what you provision, while Nxeon ships fixed plans with managed conveniences included.
Which is better for Asia-Pacific users?+
Nxeon runs a single node in Singapore, which keeps latency low across Asia-Pacific. Kamatera offers many global zones, so if you need a specific region elsewhere it's flexible — pick whichever puts your server closest to your users.
What does Nxeon cost?+
Simple all-in monthly plans with a dedicated IPv4 included and no credit card required to sign up.
Try the managed side for free. Your server is 47 seconds away.
First month free on hosting plans, backups included, and a free migration off Kamatera.
