Xen offers customization and control which you won't find with other platforms.
The features which differentiate Xen include:
- Swap space
- Full control of all iptables modules
- Loadable kernel modules
- Access to remote console for troubleshooting
Xen VPS Considerations
We highly recommend that you consider the ways in which a Xen VPS differs from OpenVZ if you are switching platforms:
* Customization versus Raw Performance: Xen's hypervisor will provide you with more options to configure your virtual private server's kernel, however, this functionality will have a higher cost of resources than the OpenVZ platform.
VPSLink will always strive to provide the best performance at the lowest possible prices, but you may need to consider a hosting plan that is a step up from your present one if you are switching to Xen from another platform.
* Swap Space versus Storage Space: Each Xen VPS is configured with swap space equivalent to twice the guaranteed RAM available with its hosting plan. Swap space allocation will have a minor effect on the amount of disk space available for regular file storage.
* Backup Administration: System backups for Xen VPS accounts are self-managed - you will be in charge of your backup schedule.
