Competitor Comparison

Feature	DotNetPanel VPS Solution	Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.0
Complete VPS Isolation DotNetPanel VPS is based on Hyper-V from Microsoft with true hypervisor-based virtualization rather than OS virtualization used in Virtuozzo. All VPS operating systems act independently minimizing administrative overhead related to their regular updates. Crash of some VPS does not cause crash of the entire system.	available	not available
Guaranteed memory for each VPS The fact is that Hyper-V does not support burstable RAM and thus overselling host (node) resources may seem a drawback. In reality this is a benefit as Hyper-V provides guaranteed resources to every VPS and makes its owner confident enough to use it in mission-critical applications.	available	not available
Windows Server 2008 support Hyper-V allows the installation of ANY operating system on customer VPS. Hyper-V is extremely optimized for Windows Server 2008 – the industry-leading operating system for internet servers.	available	not available
