great review for a great vps . the only problem for n00b people like @OldMeister that can only use windows . is that you need proper license to run windows but for me who cares about windows . linux is much better for server or even desktop (except gaming) . windows server takes huge resource hit and if you already know linux it is much easier to work with .most server application are available in linux anyway
it uses older processor but it is kvm . compared to my vps 9 it have slightly slower speed and the disk speed is a little bit slower (my vps 9 is about 300MB/s) but my vps unfortunately is still a openvz whereas the vps 8 is kvm
lastly KVM isnt all about windows . KVM doesnt only mean you can run windows on it it is about the lower layer of virtualization and that mean more compatibility with other thing such as kernel . in kvm you can use any kernel but in openvz you stuck on 2.6 kernel the problem is that some application like docker for example require newer kernel so openvz vps just cannot run docker and cannot run apps that use docker like pterodactyl for example . KVM also allow you to control the swap whatever you want if you want you can allocate 90% of your disk to your swap but it is totally not reccomended . openvz cannot get that feature because it uses higher level of virtualization
there still advantage to openvz though like a little bit higher performance , lower overhead than kvm and lower price . because KVM virtualization have overhead because it doing some virtualization whereas openvz is tehnically just a glorified chroot .
