Help me decide between these offer
Hi guys,
Please help me decide which one will suite me the best for daily use.
I've bought these VPS and I must admit they are great. Right now I'm using the first option.
These offer are from here
Which one is preferable?
Option 1: Xen-PV
512MB RAM
50MB vSwap
1 vCPU Cores
10GB Diskspace
500GB Bandwidth
1 IPv4 Address
1 IPv6 Address
1 GB port
Location: around Dusseldorf
Option 2: OpenVZ
1GB RAM
1.2GB vSwap
8 vCPU Cores
30GB Diskspace
1000GB Bandwidth
1 IPv4 Address
0 IPv6 Address
1 GB port
Location: Around UK
I'm also notice that Xen-PV uses less ram. OpenVZ can uses up to twice of Xen-PV
EDIT: I'm using my vps for some private websites and VNC activities.
EDIT2: Out of curiosity, what will you guys choose between these two according to your personal justification? For example, the first has Ipv6 the second doesn't, diskspace, RAM, the number of CPU cores, location, etc.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Fritz

you didnt mention you're using it for what.
Updated my post.
We still don't know how much load the sites are under...
You should have asked this before you even purchased anything.
You are planning to install Desktop (GNOME) with a VNC server?
@trewq
The load is averaging between 0.1-0.3 max on single core.
The ram is under 200MB for xen, I guess with openvz it will go to 300-400MB.
Atm I have no problem with the first one, everything is okay. The main concern is just diskspace which is only 10GB. That's way I'm planning to move my site over openvz.
I wonder if openvz is reliable enough.
@Casius
Yes. I have done that.
@Fritz For websites and VNC the second option shall get the job done. However if You are planning on loading Your own kernel modules, or working with custom base filesystem, backup/restore it bit by bit or perhaps virtual disk encryption and such - forget about OpenVZ.
Can we also do that with XEN-PV?
My other main concern is stability. Will OpenVZ stable enough to do this?
