Large RAM openvz providers that let you malloc() upto plan limit
Setting aside well-provisioned providers like Ramnode and liteserver.nl,
How is everyone's experience with various established hosts (3yrs minimum) for 2GB-8gb openvz plans?
In particular, I'd like to know about these few openvz sellers
Time4vps
SSDnodes
Prometeus openvz
Any others, feedback welcome from users who have actually used ram-heavy workloads on these 2GB + openvz plans.
Personally, I prefer KVM, but sometimes I have to recommend something ridiculous on a budget.
Edit: think of this as more of a 'name and shame' for openvz providers who do dodgy things when you try to use plan resources, (aside from cpu, of course) .

Not openvz, but might fit your bill: wishosting.com kvm hdd plan at 6gb ram for 6usd/month
unless specified otherwise you should be allowed to use 100% of the disk and ram allocated to your vps.
Even though iniz is not on your list, I've been with em for 4 years now and I can vouch, they are simply awesome for ram heavy workloads.
Phoenix or UK of any use? you are very welcome to use 100% of the ram 100% of the time:

UK: https://clients.inceptionhosting.com/cart.php?gid=22
1 - 6GB plans, I could do an 8 on the same price scale if required.
If KVM does turn out the be of more interest the following offers are available right now also:
PHOENIX
UK discount for first 3 months.
For the purposes of this survey, I'm biased towards owned-hardware sellers.
See, most providers using openvz uses so because of ease of overselling. Which is why they are cheaper. Not because it's OVZ, but because of overselling.
I tried overzoldby prometeus and i had good experience. My app is eating at least 3gb
I signed up aroundb2 weeks ago with inception. Performance is snappy
Always a safe bet. This (professional ssd) seems to be the latest avatar of that lineup : http://www.prometeus.net/site/vps.php
It doesnt feel that snappy though. But it is ok, depending on use case. Mao I think always advice not to use itfor production but I did.
Prometeus usually dont have stock. My advice, try inception for a month. I am with them on ovz, it feels snappy. So go test ityourself if you will come to same conclusion. Then if happy go for yearly to get discount. Plus I dont think Ants will go anywhere in the near future.
Which is fine because the only way it becomes a problem is if everyone on a node joins together to maliciously attempt to OOM the box. I'd bet everything I own on the idea that they cannot do so without coordination and malicious intent on a responsibly oversold node.
The "50offuk3mo" promo code shows up as "50offuk3mo - 50% Recurring Discount" at checkout. Is it really recurring or does it end after 3 months as the code name suggests?
Direvps let me use the whole 4gb and all cpu for a whole month when i signed up with them. It is ok, but doesnt feel fast. I think no secret that its oversold so much
Sorry bad use of the image, it is 3 months.
Did not imply it's wrong. Merely that no one will be in position to technically guarantee ability to allocate all visible memory when overselling even a little with OpenVZ.
Does KSM work with OpenVZ? - If so provider will same some memory that way, at expense of CPU.
