RocketVPS, a Knownhost company: burstable RAM?
Recently Knownhost launched their sister company, RocketVPS which is basically the same that KH but in an isolated DC in Virginia and with unmanaged service. But there is a key difference between them: KH offers SLM RAM (guaranteed) while Rocket offers UBC RAM (guaranteed + burstable). KH uses Virtuozzo while Rocket uses OpenVZ.
KH knows very well that a VPS with SLM RAM performs better compared to an UBC based VPS. So the question is: why they went this way? I'll love to see RocketVPS plans offering SLM RAM however having them offering UBC burstable RAM is a party-stopper for me and for many potential customers I think. Do OpenVZ support SLM RAM assignment only?

My guess is that they have seen both demand and requests for an unmanaged service and that's pushed them to launch a separate brand to service this market.
Simply put I am sure there aware of the differences, however one solution fits the managed service, while the other setup fits their unmanaged service 'better'.
It's almost certainly a calculated choice on their part.BotWars.io - Code the AI of your Battle Bot!

Although OpenVZ is notorious for being exploited for overselling, you will never find such case happen in RocketVPS.

There's no problem with the UBC method as long as the host keeps an eye on it.

OpenVZ is only bad when mismanaged. The same is true of Virtuozzo. When your host is paying attention, instead of simply collecting your money, then you don't really have anything to worry about. At most, you may have to report abuse, but good hosts respond by handling the node abuser.
I don't have an issue with OpenVZ, when used for websites (not apps), at good hosts.
The problem is simply finding a good host. I'd trust Knownhost, and their sub-brands.|| Need a good host?
