I think it's even worse.
They used mind-control to make you type this.
EDIT2:
If your VPS is running, it doesn't matter how encrypted you think it is. All you need to do is alter the kvm- module and dump whatever you want. The truth is, everything is based upon some level of trust. If you can't trust your host, you need to do it all yourself, and then you still have the issue of colocation/et al.
OpenVZ is not the complete hardware virtualization that KVM is, and due to how it shares resources, it's likely quite a bit less secure, but anyone with root access can pretty much do the same with a KVM that they can with your OpenVZ ploop. They just probably don't care what you're doing with your <$10 shitbox, unless it's illegal.
on OpenVZ - "Wouldn't touch it with @Letzien's penis." -@AuroraZ
A good door lock keeps most people out of your house. But of course LEA or
determined and capable criminals will get in anyway. Does that mean that we shouldn't use door locks? I don't think so.
The way I see it KVM is like a normal door with a 50$ lock while OVZ is more like a toilet stall with a 5$ "free/occupied" switch. To "break into" an OVZ stall all that's needed i basically just a lack of good manners; to break into a KVM VPS one needs at least some determination and capabilities.
That said, almost all VPSs run on and use quite questionable material (-> X86 AMT, KVM itself, etc, not at all secure OSs, etc.).
Plus - and that's interesting and important - many users do not even use what's available in terms of security and seem to not care much.
But still, KVM, as opposed to OVZ, is a real VM and offers at least a reasonable basis for reasonable security. Against LEA, the NSA, or similar none of the virtualization systems can protect but that's true for almost all OSs, too.
Plus:
Yes. Indeed an important factor but I would change that to "sufficiently illegal".
Uh, what? When did he say that?
Way back and you told not talk with my mouth full.
Shit who has time to remember that shit?
Some of us have memories that are longer then your penis.
Some of us have penises longer than your memory.

Are you this slow, or did you need training?
Wtf ... =? What's happening ?
Nonsense.
Hugo?
Attic/basement whatever...
@Janevski
Just wait until you get a condo, it'll get better once you get yourself the KVM.
Improve me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion LXC is the better variant.
LXC and KVM** sorry
