    Hi khalemi,

    All our Virtual Servers run on Xen - we've found it to be the most responsive to our needs and, with Citrix now taking an active part in the Xensource project it's got a great future ahead of it!

    Xen? Good. This is what i have been looking for.
    We have been testing openvpn on various VR platform, OS and location.

    Do you offer any money back?

    We don't usually offer any moneyback, I can't say it's something that's been requested before though.

    If you're not happy with the VPS in first five days - you can have your money back - how's that sound?

    Apologies! We had neglected to push the update to our order form since the offer was only introduced today; we've called this limited time offer the 'Micro' package - you should now be able to order at http://www.orion-hosting.co.uk/vps.php

    Hi Arnoldbest,

    Packages are unmanaged although we are more than happy to provide basic support if you have any questions, for a fully managed VPS just zap us an email with a short list of what you think you may require (E.g. standard webserver/php/mailserver setup, or something more specialised) and we can tailor a quote to you.

    For the former option we usually charge +£15 per month which covers initial install, ongoing security/operating system updating and configuration.

    Kind Regards,

    Henri

    We're a relatively new to VPS hosting so we offer LxAdmin but have not had any customers actually take it yet, from this page on their website a licensing fee is implied - http://lxlabs.com/store/

    Are you able to link me to any information about it's 'freeness'?

    Thanks,

    I have signup.I dont see HyperVM.
    As far as i know, lxadmin is free with hypervm.

    right now i'm stuck with something, and cant reboot my vps.
    There is no controlpanel to reboot the vps. it is manually done.
    sigh...

    We've effectively been caught with our pants down on Xen, it's a lovely virtualisation technology but the way that Ubuntu ports it as a package is quite poor. At one point we were forced to reboot a machine twice in one day!

    Needless to say Ubuntu now officially supports KVM, which is really really nice - we're now using that as our engine and all of our problems have disappeared.

    We now have a web-based control panel for starting/stopping/rebooting machines and anticipate many many more features in the future, they'll appear as quickly as we can add them and we welcome customer input on the priorities.
