What are the alternative to HyperVM?

Yep, I agree. Very few VPS providers are providing Virtuozzo on a low end scale, but like you said, I guess it can depend how much of a loss a company wants to foot or if the host is building a client base.

The one that bothers me is VPS with cPanel and a memory allocation of 128MB (with, or without burst). The problem is that cPanel alone takes almost 128MB to run - and then the user is left complaining about slow responses on the server or potential crashes etc. But that's how marketing is done at some places 🙂

Has the experience with this VPS crisis enticed you to the Cloud Hosting world at all? Maybe that's a new thread 🙂

A customer couldn't pay me $200/month to put cPanel on anything less than 512mb, seriously! It's just too much of a hassle. I don't focus on small VPS anyways, so it's not generally a problem. I personally recommend at least 1GB for cPanel.. The more the better!

New thread for sure, but I'm throwing around ideas, and have some plans for it still in the works 🙂
 
The company I was looking at is too expsensive so I am stuck with hypervm at the moment. Also, HyperVM might be macking a come back as the new owner is working this out. He is getting developers together, gunna talk the father so he can get the source code...Also, is gunna work on getting the domain, pp account, and company registered to him (with the guys father of course).

HyperVM might come back and be better than before.

Yeah I've heard that too.. It kind of makes it hard to know what to do.. A lot of people are in limbo right now. I guess you could just stop HyperVM access to customers, inform them of the situation and see how it pans out..

The way I see it, if it made financial sense for all, everyone using openVZ would be use Virtuozzo. So if you can make it work you can't really go wrong with it.. Looks like I'm setting up new nodes with Virtuozzo for the time being and if it works out I'd be happy to go back to HyperVM 🙂
 
Well, I use XEN and virtuozzuo doesnt suppot XEN does it? Also, virtuozzo is kind of exspensive as well.

Virtuozzo is OpenVZ based, so no. Price is relative IMO. Many providers need to make $X just to get by with all the overhead, etc.. But I'm not really in that kind of position.. I'm happy with just providing a quality service and paying for my own hosting 🙂
 
Price is definitely relative. We get a decent discount on our Virtuozzo accounts as we have many machines configured for it.

The more you spend, the more you make - isn't that how it goes? 🙂 That's what my old girlfriend used to say anyway - "Look honey, I got 500 rolls of toilet paper and saved $10.00!!!" Her math on "savings" was a little off some times 😉
 
http://ispsystem.com/en/software/vdsmanager/ seems to be the best choice at the moment.. Other than Virtuozzo.. I'm kind of stuck in a bind here, where I ordered my Virtuozzo licenses Thursday and still haven't got them. Being that they only issue them on business days it's either I have to wait, or do something else 🙁

I don't want to wait. Honestly I've been at this for near a week now, spent a lot of my own money, and have been staying awake for as long as I possibly can: 32hours up, 8 down.. As you can see my schedule is all messed up. I guess it's because I'm a perfectionist in many ways.. I could have thrown a mediocre software on the servers Thursday and been online then, but there's a good chance that I'd need to migrate once again so..

I know Virtuozzo has a trial, from what I've read it's just time limited, but it doesn't say how long. I'm sure none of my customers would mind the panel saying "this is a trial" until Moday, much like cPanel does for 15 days...?
 
HyperVM was fine and affordable. Apparently that guy from the WHT topic has phoned his father and is going to talk about the future of the project later.

More and more I'm leaning to Virtuozzo. Yeah, it's expensive compared to others, but you get what you pay for.

Exactly! I used HyperVM for awhile and was never impressed. If you deal with Parallels directly and can offer some volume (ie not a 10 pack of container licenses!) you can get a reasonable price and still make a profit selling small VPS's. Right now may be a selling opportunity for anyone using Virtuozzo as people may (wrongly) assume that they are at risk if you aren't.

Now if only WHMCS had a module...
