Lots of Xen fans - what control panel would you pair up with it?

So it's clear that Xen is the favourite but is everyone actually using Xen (thinking cost here) or do you actually opt for the cheaper OpenVZ.
Also, what does Virtuozzo bring to the party if Xen out performs it and OpenVZ cheaper? Can't see why a hosting provider would fork out another Ł100ish per month, per node (depending on containers on the node, this may be more or less)? Looks nice?
Anyone?

Most definitely SolusVM - it is an excellent control panel, and really easy to use (both as a system administrator, and end-user) - plus, there's an active development team working on new features all the time, and the support is really good too.
That will vary from user to user.
Generally, top quality hosts will use Xen, as it (almost) guarantees that you will get the resources the provider states you will have.
OpenVZ is far easier to oversell on the other hand - which is why unfortunately, a lot of hosts use it.
Let's put it this way, if there were two hosts, with identical plans (ignoring things like customer support etc. for the moment), one offering OpenVZ plans, and the other offering Xen at the same price, I would definitely go for Xen.Last edited by BTCentral - Ben; 02-02-2010 at 11:59 AM.

My VPS is on Virtuozzo and it runs great! I would like to try Xen sometime, but as long as they are both "up", how would I tell which is better???

+1 for Xen. More isolation from others on the carrier = more stability!
