I have 2 vps openvz and kvm, this time I am confused which one should I continue the contract because the clothes and everything nice

KVM MyCustomhosting 4 GB Ram 100GB SSD Cache

OPENVZ Greenvaluehosting 4GB Brust 5GB Ram 200GB SSD Cache

from test i do all give good results.

Which should I have to defend from them ?
openvz from greenvaluehosting or KVM mycustomhosting
becouse i have some vps not usage optimal and all give me good performance and uptime

now I am confused to choose, OPENVZ good for speed performance, KVM give dedicated resource

please help me to choose this with some review about kvm and openvz . confused mode on

    Selling 4GB RAM on a E3 + OpenVZ wont work well.. I'd rather stick to the dedicated resources my customhosting.

    Whats the price of that 4GB KVM?

    Keep the Kvm. :)

    Or buy a dedibox from Online.net, you can abuse it without worrying the impact to another :p

    All other things being equal, or close to that, it's a no brainer ;)

    With KVM, you get the resources for yourself, they are dedicated to you. You can use all of them if you want, but if you get the same resources with OpenVZ, they host might shut you down due to abuse of resources(you can't use 4 GB RAM without using a lot of CPU as well), whereas if you use 4 GB RAM in KVM, there's no problem.

    Except the CPU.

    CPU is still shared, so this last part is not entirely correct.

    As long as the node is under my control (e.g. running OpenVZ node inside a KVM), I prefer OpenVZ. It has many advantages over KVM. OpenVZ is great for sharing resources and making the most of them. Fantastic for taking snapshots/backups and cloning/migrating entire containers. And all that with minimum overhead. However, on some third party provider's node - which is always oversold! - with multiple different users (and abusers!), OpenVZ is an accident waiting to happen. KVM is a must have for any serious application.

    EDIT: like I said earlier - a no brainer. This is as far as OpenVZ and KVM goes. Once you throw LXC and Xen PV plus Xen HVM into the mix, the decision tree gets a touch more complicated ;)

  • keep the one that you think is sustainable.

  • My vote for KVM

  • just compare the provider, who do you thinks have better support..
    because your utilization just so low, i thinks not worth comparing openvz or kvm for better uses

    GreenValuehosting and Mycustomhosting good for the support

    Even the disk can be over allocated, as well as the RAM. (thin provisioning) Its just harder to do so in KVM as compared to OpenVZ, and a lot less providers oversell KVM.

    Yeah, agreed, the CPU is shared, and there is not much difference in CPU allocation between OpenVZ vs KVM, except the fact that in KVM, the CPU is emulated, which, in theory, must introduce overhead. OpenVZ sure has its pluses, but for personal or business use, I prefer Xen or KVM far more than OpenVZ.
