Can OpenVZ templates be used for KVM?


Chatting with the Hostens hosting provider I was told that for their KVM VPS they use OpenVZ templates. I wonder if this is a common practice or whether KVM should have its own templates.

For a totally inexperienced point of view, since they offer standard VPS with OpenVZ and KVM VPS, my question is if in the end their KVM VPS using OpenVZ templates might be not so different in performance from their standard VPS.


Solution

  • OpenVZ 6 templates can't be used on KVM servers and they are not used at Hostens. Sorry for our specialist mistake. KVM VPS have their own templates.
