webassembly with replace everything
Docker is application container. Hosting providers will not provide application containers, they will provide system containers that can run applications.
Why they don't provide application containers? because they don't write your applications.
Docker is way to ship an application, similar to compiling something into a binary or executable. It is the developer's job to produce a docker container, similar to how it is the developer's job to produce a binary or executable.
Can i install everything i need in docker like in VM?
Have you used openvz or lxc before? These system containers are more suitable for the job.
none experience on them.
Docker? No, absolutely not. There are a few that let you specify your deployments and have it managed but that isn't really "VPS" in any distinguishable way.
Containerization? It already kind of has. I don't know if you realise OpenVZ is a container or that LXC VPSes are slowly becoming more common in recent times.
Full VM servers will still continue to exist though, as 1) they're the only way to run Windows and 2) they provide a full level of control that a container can't ever do.
My prediction is that LXC will continue to edge out new OpenVZ deployments for the forseeable future but container and VM style servers will coexist happily like they always have.
Docker is a container. It can be considered as a VPS, with a shell, and install things the way you do on a normal VPS. However, Docker is mostly used to have a set of pre-established commands and configurations, and contain an application (or multiple applications) for security reasons or for deployment in an project which uses lots of redundancies and load-balancing.
Personally, I do not like Docker, but I do understand that some projects need it.
There are some poviders of lxc

Not in 666 million years.
What about 667 million years?
In 667 million years, the space as we know will cease to exist.
Probably.
I don't touch docker (oder Kybernetes, ...) with a pole stick.
I remember about 10 years ago people were asking; Will cloud hosting replace web hosting.... Nop.
Unless you are a SAAS company and want to contain and replicate each instance for each customer, docker actually doesn't make sense in terms of using it for "hosting" purpose.
So you think it will end by state of entropy, or by Big Crunch?
