    Hyper-V is a good choice. Virtuozzo is also worth a look for the budget market.

    Hyper-V isnt a panel, nor is VMWare, they are virtualization methods.

    Panels would be: DotNetPanel, Plesk, Helm, etc

    Exactly - Hyper-V / Virtuozzo / XEN are actually virtualization technologies and there are web based control panels available for managing VPS's.

    Coming back to OP's query, we are using Hyper-V and it has worked quite decently. Also it provides better level of isolation and more of a hardware level virtualization with guaranteed RAM. At the moment, I believe the management of Hyper-V based VPS's is only supported by DotNetPanel while you can obviously manage them from Hyper-V manager on host server.

    If you are looking for the virtualization then Virtuozzo is high performance server virtualization software it might be good option.

    My personal vote would go to Hyper-V... I've used it in the past and it is definitely a great platform to build an infrastructure with.

    I agree hyper-v might be a bit costy if you are in a low budget but it is a good choice though over vmware, in my opinion.
