Why am I unable to create Virtual Machines with Hyper-V on a Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS)?

Virtual Dedicated Servers have their own dedicated hardware resources and support nested virtualization, so you can install your own virtual machines on a VDS. 

This is true for VDS with both Linux and Windows operating systems. 

On a VDS with a Windows operating system, there is a common problem with Hyper-V that prevents the creation and use of virtual machines. Microsoft is already aware of this, but a Microsoft fix will most likely take a very long time; too long to wait for.

As an alternative, you can use VMware Workstation Player as your virtualization software, which has been tested and confirmed to work.

If that does not help or you still need advice, contact the support team for help.
