KVM or console access is good for when you stuff up your iptables rules and block your own ssh session.

I hope it will help:
KVM or console access is offered by colo services providers if their services, if a server crashes you get remote access to your server and fix it.
Just mind it's not offered in any colocation plan, at least GlobalTap.com have them, I guess theplanet.com as well.

Isn't it only about colo? What about dedis or VPS?
