KVM is true virtualization where the VPS operates as its own server, independently of the host node. OpenVZ is a container style of virtualization which relies on the host node's kernel. KVM has no restrictions in terms of functionality, but it has more overhead than OpenVZ. OpenVZ is constrained by the host node kernel, but it has less overhead in the containers themselves. KVM is generally more stable than OpenVZ.
OpenVZ is ok for low budget. I use OpenVZ.

For the gamblers ONLY that don't mind risking your lunch money, here's a new ColoCrossing one that appears reliable in our Incredible PBX 13-13 testing with CentOS 6/64-bit platform AS A SANDBOX ONLY! 24 HOUR REFUND POLICY in TOS. Excellent performance (so far). No info on history or guarantees of future longevity!! Don't sign up for 3 years unless you have money to burn! Is that enough warnings???
Hosting73's 1.5GB SSD OpenVZ VPS in Atlanta (open a ticket to request doubling of bandwidth at no additional cost)
I took the plunge since my VULTR instance was beginning to have poor audio. So far, I'm pleased. Having lost HiFormance (which was absolutely flawless until they killed it) I fell back on VULTR as my quick fix. I found that I was getting breakup and robo voice too much. Hosting73 seems to be working quite well so far. This time, I will keep regular IncredibleBackup files handy.
Oh, and port 25 is not blocked with them so sendmail works without modification.
*** UPDATE ***
Last night, around midnight, my phones all unregistered. I tried to log into my Hosting73 instance and could not connect to IncrediblePBX. I logged into the control panel and it showed the instance up. I rebooted and could still not connect. I used the emergency recovery console to access the instance and it had lost connectivity to the internet. I made a number of attempts to restart the instance but could not get it or Asterisk to run.
About 1:30am, I submitted a ticket (which took a good bit of research to figure out since you can't do it from your control panel page.) Support responded in under 10 minutes and said there was a problem with the IP address for my instance. They asked for permission to assign a new IP address. Since this would be an easier fix than rebuilding the VM, I agreed. The new IP address fix worked and I only had to update the address with my various VOIP trunk providers to be back in service.
I'm not thrilled that less than 24 hours into using Hosting73, I had a bizarre failure. I am impressed with the speed at which they analyzed and addressed my issue.
The jury is out on Hosting73 for me. I hope this was just an oddball anomaly but I will continue to keep my VULTR instance on standby just in case.

So after all said and done, (and never regaining access to my HiFormance server) I set up a amazon aws instance for my serer on their free teir. It was more inconvenient than HiFormance, but seems to do the job. Is there a reason others don't do this? Is it just the size limitation?
# /usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s 172.16.0.0/12 -j ACCEPT
Any different for Travelin' Man 4?If you're using Incredible PBX and the Travelin' Man 3 firewall, make sure you do NOT whitelist the 172.16 subnet in /usr/local/sbin/iptables-custom. Otherwise, everyone on Amazon has access to your server since Amazon routes these "non-routable" IP addresses. Just comment out the following line and then iptables-restart:
Code:# /usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s 172.16.0.0/12 -j ACCEPT
I like this https://www.alpharacks.com/myrack/cart.php?a=add&pid=306 offer but your latest http://nerdvittles.com/?p=26675 VirtualBox disk image that I am currently using locally happened to be 20.8G so simple transfer into 20G VPS is not possible!Complete tutorial available here: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=27498

how does one suppose to shrink 20.7 GiB having only 20GiB storage?If they allow you to boot from ISO, I use Gparted to resize

@kenn10 What type of issues you say on Vultr? Are you sure its not the location you chose? I have many PBX servers on them without issues. I had a couple of issues once with one location, so I moved all my servers from that location to another nearby one, and haven't had issues since.
6.10 will eventually stop being latest and greatest when 6.11 is out.rather than a VirtualBox image based upon SL 6.9.
