There are a lot of options for virtualization, popular ones include:

Xen
VMware
Virtuozzo
Hyper-V

Each have their pro's & con's so do your research before choosing one.

From what I've heard Virtuozzo seems the best.

It really does depend on your needs. Xen is a very suitable alternative.

I have heard the best stuff about Virtuozzo. I think I am going to use them...

Virtuozzo and OpenVZ are alike (although one is commercial and offers SLM & debatable support, and the other is free and open sourced).

What is your budget and server specs? If they're low, going with a *VZ based system would probably yield the better results, by a few % points (overhead)
