  said: that makes a VPS works like a dedicated server with dedicated core, dedicated ram, dedicated HDD.

  KVM. (at least for "dedicated server" part; the rest you can accomplish with any virtualization)

  unless you actually need full virtualization you might as well us OpenVZ. It is the easiest and has the least overhead.

  I've got to agree, OpenVZ is the easiest, and people tend to say great things about it

  OpenVZ. But it sounds like you want KVM.

  According to my view it's KVM And XEN HVM Both
  And it depends on your need.

  If you don't have any preferences yet, and given your requirements, I would definitely go with KVM. KVM officially became part of the mainline Linux kernel as of version 2.6.20.
