Hi everyone,

I've been researching Virtualizor and SolusVM 2 for KVM VPS. I'm leaning towards Virtualizor because it’s more affordable and because, I'm a bit concerned about SolusVM's future pricing, especially since Webpros now owns it.

I also considered Proxmox and VirtFusion, but I noticed that neither has a reliable WHMCS module yet.

I would appreciate your thoughts: do you recommend Virtualizor over SolusVM 2 for KVM? Or do you have any other alternatives to suggest?

Thank you!
 
Hello! Given your focus on affordability and concerns about future pricing, Virtualizor is a solid choice for KVM VPS management. It’s known for being user-friendly, cost-effective, and compatible with WHMCS, which can streamline billing and automation.

SolusVM 2, while established and widely used, could face potential pricing changes and policy shifts under Webpros ownership, which might affect long-term costs and updates. This uncertainty makes Virtualizor a more predictable option at this stage.

As for alternatives, Proxmox is powerful and feature-rich, but as you mentioned, its WHMCS integration is less mature, which could complicate billing automation if that’s a crucial aspect for you. VirtFusion is newer and has potential, but it's still building out its ecosystem, so it might not meet your current needs for integration stability.

Overall, I would recommend going with Virtualizor given its balance of price, functionality, and WHMCS support, unless you have very specific needs that would benefit from Proxmox's extensive features or you can wait for VirtFusion to further develop.
 
Although no software is error-free, Virtualizer has an active development team that regularly updates the platform, fixing problems and adding new features. She also has a supportive community and an operational support team, which can be crucial to quickly troubleshoot and fix any potential problems.

If you consider stability as a key factor, it would be a good idea to test it in a controlled environment before full deployment to make sure it meets your specific needs and expectations. Of the good ones, they offer a month of free use, try it out. You should obviously place this tool on the server and then it will be more clear if it is suitable for you, so as a tip, do it
 
VirtFusion does have a WHMCS module that works with no issues: https://docs.virtfusion.com/integrations/whmcs/

I vote for VirtFusion. It has the best UI, best support available, and updates are released very frequently. It's feature rich and focuses on only KVM, which provides for a better experience rather trying to get a piece of software working for many different virtualisation technologies.

We ruled out SolusVM because of the ownership issues, and Virtualizor unfortunately had too many bugs I didn't want to contend with.

If you're willing to develop your own WHMCS module, or pay for the third party one I would put Proxmox in 2nd place. It would put it in the top spot but its main focus is enterprises, so if you want support it's costly, so in my opinion the best package on offer in terms of the future, current functionality and support is VirtFusion.
 
Hello,
I have used SolusVM and Virtualizor both in production environment. I have eperienced more bugs in SolusVM as compared to Virtualizor. The customer support of both companies are great, they both will come forward to solve each and every issue which you may have. But from the pricing point of view, the virtualizor is very affordable and reasonable as compared to SolusVM. Also, as SolusVM is now under the evil company WebPros, so you can expect the expected price hike in future.
 
Virtualizor does seem like a solid choice, especially if affordability is key for you. If you're open to it, I'd also suggest keeping an eye on some of the newer options in the market, as they might surprise you.
 
SolusVM 2 is great, it is very cost effective for scaling up, and not overpriced even for a few VPS's.

SolusVM is good for WHMCS too, you do have to do some edits to allow clients to access the panel from the client area. It allows you to migration between nodes which is handy.

Test them both out, get some demos up and see what you prefer. Also send a support ticket into them to see their response times etc.
