When thinking about purchasing a VPS, some of you guys will be a little confused about the virtualization platform to be used. Each of the platforms has its own specialties and here I am pointing out some practical differences between those platforms we are providing:
OpenVZ
KVM
OpenVZ
- Cost-effective
- Lightweight
- Easy to manage
- Optimal for small kinds of usages like a simple website with limited users, OpenVPN, etc
- The server is sharing the node's kernel. So, the new kernel versions are available in the OpenVZ7 platform only
- Best one in terms of reliability, performance, resource handling
- No VNC access by default(but can install separately using commands)
- No custom ISO supported
- Can manage the kernel as every server is getting its own dedicated kernel.
KVM
- VNC access available by default
- Can install with own custom ISO from SolusVM
- Full control over the kernel
- Will handle loads better than OpenVZ but Xen is better in terms of resource handling
