What is Ollama and how does it work?

Ollama is a local runtime that serves large language models through simple commands and an HTTP API. You run or pull models, then interact via endpoints such as /api/generate or OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions.

Does Ollama need a GPU to run?

No. CPU-only works, but a compatible GPU can accelerate inference. NVIDIA, AMD ROCm, and Apple Silicon are supported through their respective stacks.

How much RAM does Ollama need for common models?

As a rule of thumb, 7B models tend to need about 8 GB RAM, 13B about 16 GB, and 70B around 64 GB when using typical quantizations.

Is Ollama usable offline?

Yes. After the initial model downloads, you can run models locally without an external service. The API is served from the host on port 11434 by default.

How do you add or switch models in Ollama?

Use commands such as ollama pull to download and ollama run to start chatting. Model pages like llama3.2 and deepseek-r1 list tags and sizes.

What access do I get on Cloudzy Ollama VPS?

You receive full root on Ubuntu 24.04 with Ollama and OpenWebUI installed. OpenWebUI is available at port 8080 and the Ollama API at 11434 for integrations on your Ollama VPS.

How does Cloudzy handle performance for Ollama VPS Hosting?

Plans use dedicated vCPUs, DDR5 memory, and NVMe storage on an up to 40 Gbps link to keep round-trip time low. You can start CPU-only, then consider GPU-enabled images if your workloads expand on Ollama VPS Hosting.

How do I reach OpenWebUI and the API on Cloudzy Ollama server?

Visit http://:8080 for OpenWebUI. Programmatic access uses http://:11434. If connecting from other hosts, configure binding and allowed origins as needed.

What security options are available on Cloudzy Ollama VPS?

Control SSH keys and firewall rules, restrict API exposure, and place the service behind your proxy if required. OpenWebUI supports remote Ollama endpoints via environment configuration.

Can I scale or snapshot my Cloudzy Ollama VPS and what uptime applies?

Yes. Scale CPU, RAM, or disk as projects grow and snapshot before major changes. The platform targets a 99.95% uptime SLA for predictable access.

Cloudzy is a great hosting provider, and I haven't had any issues with them. They also let you pay with bitcoin, so you wouldn't need to reveal your credit info online.

One of the most scalable VPS providers out there. You can easily start a small server and scale to however large your needs may be. All of the services are cheaper than average and I have never seen an online service have such a quickly responsive support. Recommended for sure.
