I provide both OpenVZ and Xen virtual servers.
I'm wondering for techie people, what you prefer?
OpenVZ or Xen?
OpenVZ Pros:
-Better pricing since provider can oversell.
-Handles overselling well though
-Less overhead
-Easier backup
OpenVZ Cons:
-Overselling is easy, but not so detrimental
-Not complete virtualization; all OS share kernel.
Xen Pros:
-Dedicated servers
-Less likely to be oversold
Xen Cons:
-Higher overhead
-If oversold, you're basically f*cked.
-Pricing is higher for clients
