This is a copy of the post I made in another thread. I split it off for more visiblity.
www.jodohost.com/windows-vps.asp (Hyper-V page is replacing, virtuozzo page, vz moving to own)
now I know will be a number of questions on the plans and why we have both.
VZ is great for many purposes, for hosting it is excellent.
It has cheaper Plesk for control panel(Hyper-V bills like dedicated server)
It also has a template filesystem, so you get about 29.5GB of 30Gb for instance, usable disk space.
Hyper-V has a full install taking away about 15GB of the disk space right off the top.
virtuozzo plans have external SQL Server access, Hyper-V plans do not, we will be adding that as an addon shortly.
Virtuozzo support tickets for us to do tasks are a bit cheaper at $3 per issue(as long as not taking 15+ minutes)
Hyper-V support tasks are $20 minimum, 30 minutes billed, and we offer addon support plans for them as well that will reduce that if you would like.
Differences in them:
Virtuozzo has less IO overheard due to the template OS, and no hardware emulation.
Hyper-V has hardware emulation, but requires a full windows install, it also allows a custom sized swap file (virtuozzo is pegged to amount of RAM only).
Virtuozzo doesn't allow kernel modules for VPN clients, live anti virus, etc, Hyper-V does allow them.
Virtuozzo Windows updates are handled by the node, and if you install on own will have problems, Hyper-V is 100% by YOU, we do not provide Windows Updates outside of a support contract. On Hyper-V you have the same risk as a regular desktop/server platform in Windows Updates.
Virtuozzo has a built in control panel that does a lot more, allowing off server backups to be taken on demand, Hyper-V does the basics like on and off. With Hyper-V currently you will need a support plan for backups to be taken by us, in the near future we will be adding SAN and iSCSI addons for you to mount a backup point within your Hyper-V.
Feel free to ask questions if you have, this is a quick summary.
We will be adding more features and addons over the next months, feel free to discuss what could/should be added.
