If you are buying a Virtual Private Server, which would you prefer?
Xen or OpenVZ?
Are there any other virtualization technologies?

OpenVZ provides full isolation from other VPS instances on the same host machine ensuring that the resources allotted for your VPS account are always available.
One great thing about OpenVZ is that you can set a burstable amount of ram. This means, if you go over your guaranteed allotment, instead of the VPS slowing down, you can continue to use the burstable memory.

I think these are misleading. OpenVz shares the resources of the server -- that is why it allows for "bustable" resources. If one vps is not using its full "512 MB RAM" for example another VPS may take it and use it.
Since VPS are using shared resources you will see a decline in VPS performace if another vps is a resource hog.
Most hosting companies use OpenVz because it allows for overselling.. Question is to be asked-- what happens if you allocate more then the server can handle?
Good luck finding your choice.

I would go for openvz. But if you have enough funds, I would say Virtuzzo

Virtuozzo is just the interface for openvz.. OpenVz is still the technology being used.

So Virtuozzo is an advanced softwere of openVZ. Then it must be wise to use Virtuozzo as ServerPoint.com, Parallels.com and many other companies do.iHubNet-Matt said:I think virtuzzo is the software that is being offered by the SwSoft.
I agree that openvz is the technology that is being used, but they modified it and created a software under their name in the name of Virtuzzo.
