It's a secret.
Lol, there is no method. You just make the VPS, if it goes online "hooray" , if it does not then "sigh".
KVM- You can only oversell ram.
I think you mean "overselling"
Xen:
You can oversell disk if using a flat storage system however none of the commercial hosting panels I know of support that, you cant oversell ram you can balloon it but you can never exceed the total physical maximum of the node so essentially in hosting unless someone has written their own panel and control system you cant oversell Xen in terms of Ram/Disk.
KVM:
Similar setup to Xen on the disk front but it will allow you to allocate more ram than the physical node has but at a performance cost.
There is a good reason Xen and KVM are generally more expensive than OpenVZ
From what I know DO does at least the thin provisioning thing.
Would you like to apply to my Level 3 technical helpdesk opening?
Smells like summer.
I am sure the monkeys there are already worried about their bananas bonus, or even the peanuts wage :P
Thin provisioning + some form of memory de-duplication/page sharing.
Performance hit of dedupe is negligible and certainly worth doing. Thin provisioning has fragmentation issues so should only really be used on SSDs unless you want a performance hit.
Ahahh :P
