Proxmox VPS providers?
This caught my eye - Hostbillapp now supports Proxmox VE
http://hostbillapp.com/features/apps/proxmox.html
Can we expect to see VPS providers using Proxmox as opposed to say SolusVM or HyperVM (which has no support for KVM)?
I seem to recall reading that Ramhost uses Proxmox for their KVM backend though - possibly the only provider to do so to date?
Comments
I use proxmox. i prefer it to the likes of solus, virtualizer, hypervm etc. especially the latest version. Only bad part is, they dont have tun/tap or pptp support via the panel. and it runs debian
SolusVM supports KVM
How do you cope with the lack of IP pool assignment? Do you handle IP manually?
This is good part.
Depends on who you ask. Lack of CentOS support is why I never bothered with Proxmox.
@prometeus
Yes its done manually.
@tux
Bad part being it doesnt support PPTP or tun/tap out of the box, i added ... to seperate what i was saying. and yes debian seems alot better than centos. uses much less ram
Proxmox is also not IPv6 compatible yet (at least it wasn't a few weeks ago). I dropped Proxmox about 2 weeks ago and haven't looked back.
SolusVM now?
Nah. We were using SolusVM for our internal servers (webserver, SolusVM Master, monitoring, etc...) and it was replaced with just a base install of CentOS and OpenVZ (pptpd and IPv6 work flawlessly and disk IO is amazing, not to mention we have a lot more storage now that Proxmox doesn't take half of it for KVMs that we don't use).
For that matter, I wonder why Virtualizer, vePortal and VirtPanel use is so uncommon for LEBs despite having similar pricing structures as SolusVM? Burstnet must be the only one using vePortal I think? The other 2 - still haven't come across yet.
I take back what I say about VirtPanel - there doesn't even seem to be much information about the product on their own website
Dead product? http://www.virtpanel.com/
@syaman, it is the ugliness of them.
Veportal just doesn't do the work plus IMHO their admin panel is a mess from my old experience. And buggy as fudge
Virtpanel wasnt the best design. but the features (When they worked) where awesome.
Proxmox works when providers want to drop that Xen node that is under subscribed and want to run KVM virtualization on the same node as OpenVZ
Had bad experiences with proxmox where mixing VMs types often meant you had to reboot entire node if 1 VM misbehaves, however keeping the types apart seems to stop this from happening.
Nothing worse than having to reboot a node for 1 machine.
I used proxmox for my home lab test a few months back, the idea is nice, but i found the implementation somewhat lacking. It has potential tho, will check again in the autumn.

why? since ur using on production, can u just elaborate pls.? as i want to clear some thoughts - http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/3695/proxmox-control-panel-why-not-or-why-yes
Its just good. Its basic. it works. and ofcourse its free.
@kujoe
ipv6 works too.
Not so dead to prevent them from advertising it on WHT, but enough so that I've had two tickets open (for two different reasons) for 7 days, and I'm a paying customer.
@syscentral Glad they finally added that.
