What is the difference between KVM and OpenVZ?

[1hostweb]

A KVM is true virtualization where the VPS operates as its own server, independently of the host node.
OpenVZ is a container based virtualization which relies on the host node's kernel.

Great VPS providers are: hostingsource.com and libertyvps.net.
These guys keep everything simple, local, and affordable. Nowhere better if you're in search of an awesome web host.
