Can cat /proc/cpuinfo and look at the processor name
KVM will show something like:
model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel6)
OpenVZ will show the processor's real name, and I'm not sure what Xen says as I've never had a Xen VPS, someone else can chime in.

Easiest way is to open a support ticket and ask for what type it is.

'ifconfig' and if there is something as 'eth0ome_name' for your ethernet device it is linux-vserver and if it is 'venet0:0' it is openvz

You can either check with the commands given above, or visit your webhosting control panel (if you have access to it) which will probably show the virtualization type aswell.

The VPS management panel should have details about this. The CLI options given above are a definite help. You would also be able to see the virtualization type details on the VPS products page

LoL I was thinking the same thing. Right now I got my own OpenVz (which most of the comments above pretty much match spot on to identifying openvz), a personal KVM and Xen-HVM vm. The last two seem like an actual dedicated machine, though KVM is a dead giveaway with the processor name. Usually there's no dead easy way to see if you're on Xen-HVM (though you would already know this since you usually have to pay a little more for that).
Did you order a dedicated server, and end up thinking you got a VPS?IonVz - Nginx/FreeBSD/VPS Consulting | VPSNodeBox - Managed Support Representative
