We are able to enjoy the function and feature of a dedicated server at a low price.
What actually is KVM VPS hosting
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) VPS is a virtual private server that operates directly on the physical server. In KVM VPS, all the resources are private and dedicated so that one user’s resources will not be shared by other users for the physical hardware. It has excellent performance and very high reliability.
The difference between KVM and OpenVZ
KVM uses “real” virtualization that enables the VPS to run its own server on the host node without being affected by other things while OpenVZ uses container-based virtualization that relies on the host node’s kernel.
