Consumer perspective: openvz vs KVM

Trust in the provider is something that matters with OpenVZ. I have few OVZ with BuyVM, RamNode and Hostigation. Even if they oversell, I am happy with the resource my VM's get. Most of mine are 512MB and a few 1GB's and I am not pushing the most of it as what I run there is just LAMP stack, for small companies.

Another advantage for OVZ is the custom upgrades like space and RAM. Not much KVM providers offer custom upgrades.

While running things with Java and Apache Solr, I am forced to have KVM as there are known problems with Java and the OVZ memory issues, similar is the case with the need for disk encryption for some security conscious customers.
