Need VPS for R & D
Hello,
i am looking out for unmanaged server just for R & D purpose.
Future development can happen, at the moment just to try it everything on my own, from OS setup to everything.
Budget less than $15-$20.
It should be reliable, and helpful to suggest.
Purely buying to learn on my own.
Suggest me good Hosts who falls in above criteria..

XEN or OpenVZ? Any specific specifications on RAM? That'll all determine whether or not the hosts people recommend are within your criteria. Are you looking for a particular region (East Coast USA, West Coast USA, UK)? Once you start answering these questions people should be able to better assist.
In any event, you can start your search at Big Brain Host. That's where my companies site has been hosted, and I have had no issues, good support, reliable, etc... I know they advertise on WHT where you can find discounts that will most likely get you even further below your $15-20 budget.Doug

They're both good, depends on what you're looking to do on it. Essentially XEN is going to make the price go up because it is harder to oversell then OpenVZ.
OVZ makes it possible to put more virtual machines on a single hardware node then XEN does. Many OpenVZ hosting providers often abuse that to the point where disk access is inefficient because there are just not enough spindles to serve them all. Its all a matter of preference, so if you want the most stable environment at a cheap, unreliable host XEN. If you go with a premium provider XEN / OpenVZ won't matter for your purposes.Doug

For your location, I'd use EcoVPS (Virtuozzo) or VMPort (OpenVZ, Xen, KVM).
Xen can be oversold and abused, too.
So picking a good host is generally more important than the virtualization layer.|| Need a good host?

Overload would be the more correct term. Overselling within limits is cost efficiencies that can be passed down to the customer.
If you overload nodes on a regular basis though, it's a free ticket to a closing business.
It's not hard enough to make a substantial difference - ballooning is not a hard process.Last edited by Afterburst-Jack; 02-17-2012 at 09:31 AM.

If you want to have a 'true feeling' of a dedicated server, all suggestions that include shared kernel virtualization should be ignored. Only consider providers who offer Xen HVM and KVM virtualization solutions that allow users to mount your own .iso images and will give you full access to VDS networking and kernel .

Thanks DmitrijCSR
My requirement is to test some basic configuration and I should be able to reinstall OS,maybe different flavor/version of linux.
And I would prefer KVM
Please provide me some reliable companies who would give me this basic requirement.

If it's purely for learning, do you really need it to be online? There are several options you can install locally that will allow you to create virtual HDs, mount .isos, install OSs etc. I'd suggest VirtualBox - free and very easy to use.
