Opinions of Solus 1 vs Solus 2

[metanet]

Does anyone know what the core differences are between Solus 1 and Solus 2? It is clear the WebPros brand is pushing very hard to develop Solus2 as a new and improved product. But it is not clear from their website what the differences are in features, and then there is the security, etc.

SolusVM 2 is better than 1, however Virtfusion is 1000% better and owned by Phill who developed SolusVM before he sold his baby to OnApp who took it to the cleaners.

I feel Virtfusion interface is too dry and busy compared to Solus?

Ah I see well it's your choice so do what you feel is best for you and your company mate

What I will say it looks like they reverted what OnApp was planning with SolusVM 2, it was a marketplace to sell space on the dedicated server, so you could host vps in certain locations outside your server.

Solus 2 seems to be more user-friendly and has more features, but the security enhancements are what stand out.

Solus 2 is more friendly and really good just use it

If I were starting from scratch today, I wouldn't go with either of them (SolusVM 1 or 2). I'd use either Virtualizor (great bunch of people behind it) or VirtFusion (KVM only).

Having said that, if the option is either SolusVM 1 or 2, then 2 without a doubt.

SolusVM 1 is EOL. It hasn't received any software updates for months, it's no longer possible to install new master servers using it and I imagine the next step will be to block slave installations as well.
