What is KVM Lite - VirMach
I have an OVZ VPS ($11.90/yr) of VirMach that I purchased on the last thanksgiving day. The I/O is superb (>500+ MB/s), but the download speed sucks (~75 KB/s from Asia). As it has 50gb SSD, 3vCPU, and 2gb RAM, I use it only for keeping my backups. It is scheduled to be converted to KVM on 22 Nov and I need to renew it on/before 22 Nov.
Does anyone know the specs of the "KVM Lite" of VirMach? Will I get even 20gb SSD after the migration? I sent an email to VirMach, but no response.

You might look into this thread for more info about KVM Lite.
tl;dr you will initially get less storage than your current server (but more than what you're currently using), but will be provided a way to increase the storage by your self up to your current limit.
Although you may not get the 50GB initially allocated after the planned migration you can increase to the full amount at any time in the control panel.
How much of the 50GB are you currently using?
Which datacenter is your VPS in?

Thanks. It was helpful.
Data center is Germany. I am currently using about 12gb
I’m curious about RAM, my black Friday special has 25GB of ram and 16 cpu cores plus 300GB ssd.
Am I now going to have a monster of a KVM vps?
How much is it...
$80.66
From the following text, it seems that they will change only the disk size. Maybe, they won some lottery or some king/queen donated them $$$ to migrate all OpenVZ to KVM.
Hats off to Virmach for pulling this off, I would have rather expected a Bandwagonhost-kind of exit strategy, but I'm feeling quite uncomfortable about the fact that IPv6 will become exclusive for higher tier services.
I mean, of course it's incredible value and I understand their motivation, but imo it's just wrong.
It reminds me of the dark Host1Plus days when they charged for TUN/TAP and PPP. The infrastructure is there and it's just an artificial restriction and IPv6 should rather be embraced than restricted.
Could you elaborate a little? (What are you talking about? VirMach?)
Yup, I have one of their smaller OVZ boxes in Frankfurt with an assigned IPv6 address and the migration email states the following:
Ah, okay, I see, it just wasn't clear based on this thread
Yeah, not so great
