It's true that the resources are not used when VPS is not yet created, but they have to leave it available for us. So whenever our admin create one it'll go through perfectly.That's the general theory but not the actual standard practice hence why I hoped for an actual sponsor to comment on this. Granted that the storage space on the disk block might already be committed but certainly not the CPU (cycles) nor the actual RAM.

On the other hand, KVM cannot. All VPS are fixed and they cannot use other VPS' resources. That's why hoster cannot sell the unused resource that they sponsor to us.Not true!.. Overcommitting is true for both OVZ containers and KVM VMs. It's the second time, I'm faced with this rather silly claim!!.. I'm wondering who's fault is it for such widespread misconception?..
