KVM or OpenVZ - KVM has all the advantages of Xen and also some extra's so Xen is waste of time.
So ladies and Gents... We will be rolling out a pre orders for KVM VPS in Netherlands, USA Later on tonight
the 50% Code will be "RaptorKVM"
@monstet just send us the links
Please explain? 99% of my customers want nothing to do with the kernel or kernel space so I don't see how they are restricted.
If you want to do things in kernel space then obviously you don't want OpenVZ. That is only a very small percentage of VPS users.
The ONLY reason they can be cheaper is the more efficient use of hardware. They are not cheaper in the you get what you pay for sense imho. Most of my customers don't really seem to care what virtualization they are running on anyways.
I also run KVM and OpenVZ works better imho. With KVM there is almost no hardware sharing control. The only CPU control is how many cores they have access to. There is no I/O sharing control as far as I know. If one VPS decides it wants to hog all I/O it can do that. The result is more CPU and I/O load spikes. The only way to deal with that problem is to throw more hardware at it which is not so easy or flexible. Not even a proper solution but the only one available.
I guess it depends what market your want to get into, With OpenVZ we see more abuse, As its cheaper, But you can get really cheap prices, But the fact that some hosts just oversell to a degree there prices are much lower so they pull in customers, over hosts that don't oversell. - Least that is what my opinion seems to be atm.
Damm I must be doing something wrong! Underselling a OVZ node. Oh wait, its not ridiculously price at under 7usd for a GB!
The only market I see complain the most is the LEB market, but it were forced upon themselves.
However, 90% of clients don't need XEN/KVM or even know what it is for that matter.
The only main reason for us to run XEN/KVM would be for Windows clients, maybe a bit of "Cloud" chucked in there. But other than that I love VMware for our Windows clients = )
Down to personal preference most of the time.
@rm_ Sorry, I thought you're running a node. If provider supports it, would you choose Xen?
This whole argument that OpenVZ automatically means the hoster is overselling so it is not the best solution for an end user is a bogus one imho. It depends what the hoster is doing and it depends on what the user wants to use it for.
It should not even be part of discussions of which is best for technical reasons imho.
Also you can oversell with KVM too. It will arguably have an even more negative effect on the end user when that happens. However, it's not quite as easy to understand how overselling with KVM works so that discussion doesn't come up as often.
@sman I said in my opinion, I also said some host oversell witch is a well known fact some do?
