Apologies if this is common knowledge.  Tonight I learned for the first time how to check what the virtualization of my VPS is from the command line.  Contabo didn't list this with the specs of the VPS I signed up for - their promotion focus was the 100% SSD.  So checked around on the Internet, and after a little bit of searching found the commands below.

I use CentOS 7.0 - so for other distributions the installation commands will be more or less the same but different as well.

(for CentOS)

Code: (Select All)

yum install imvirt

(for Debian)

Code: (Select All)

sudo apt-get install virt-what

(I discovered I didn't need to install imvirt as it already was loaded with CentOS 7.0.)

Then enter the following command:

Code: (Select All)

virt-what

This was my answer:

Code: (Select All)

kvm

Guess I've got a little bit more respect for my VPS and Contabo.  

8GB RAM, 4 cores, 200 SSD, location Germany BUT Contabo VPS speed feels the same for me as my VPS 16 with 1 GB RAM and location in Los Angeles.  Connection speed of the Contabo VPS is only 200 Mbps. VPS 16 is 1Gbps But, speed tests show a different picture.  Guess the connection speed makes a really BIG difference! Tryp4VPS was correct in his assessment of Contabo VPSs with their low connection speed.  I'll do a review of the Contabo VPS at end of April - if time allows for it.
