Hi Ben,

This all depends on the VPS platform the hosting provider is using. If the VPS is built on a cloud a virtual server is superior in almost every way.

1. Fail Over Protection
2. Ability to instantly upgrade
3. Lower cost

If the hosting provider is not using a cloud platform and the VPS is hosted on a single machine with shared resources a dedicated server would be better.
Like I said it's a difficult question to answer as it depends on what is powering the VPS.

Sure

1. Failover protection means the VPS is not dependent on any single piece of hardware. If some storage, RAM or CPU fails your VPS is unaffected.
2. If you have a dedicated server and want a faster CPU or more RAM, the server has to be disconnected and the physical components upgraded, with a cloud VPS adding more RAM or CPU cores is done with a few clicks and a reboot.

I believe LJS hosts have answered your queries clearly now , you can find more resources on google just make proper search and there is plenty of information available.

KVM VPS is great for anyone who like to have full control over their VPS
Advantages of Kvm:
- Full virtualization, so the behaviour as a dedicated/physical server
-Your own kernel and modules
- Your own virtual disk, graphics adapter, network card
- Generally more stable compared to OpenVZ

OpenVZ VPS is usually a good choice for anyone that doesn't have special requirements:
-Container style virtualization, shared kernel with the host
-A little bit better performance to KVM, since there is no additional virtualization layer between the host and your VPS, which means that there is basically no overhead on assigned CPU / memory and disk resources.
-Cheaper

VPS hosting provides with almost all the features offered by a dedicated server however at a lower price. You will get the complete control of your VPS hosting account including full root access for installing the preferred applications which is not possible with a shared hosting account. As an isolated hosting environment is provided by the VPS, you get complete freedom for running the scripts. You can also send out a mailing list as you are provided with your own mail server and you don't have to think about the mail server IP getting blacklisted.
