What are the advantages if I use KVM as the VPS solution?
If I would start a new hosting business I would offer container and full virtualization because of the following (just a few considerations): OpenVZ (or any other container virtualization in general): - you can run more VPS per physical host, but only Linux as guest - much better resource controls, but only for older kernels (last stable is 2.6.18) - very easy management tools for hosting scenarios - stable environment with third party management tools for hosting KVM (or full virtualization in general): - full guest support (windows, linux, bsd, opensolaris) - easier management tools compared to XEN - compete with high quality VMware ESX hosting offerings (include HA, failover, etc.) I would not choose XEN now for new business, as for me it is not clear if XEN is still here in such a prominent manner in a few years as most distribution moving to KVM.
