Hi,

I know that Xen is usually better than OpenVZ as the provider cannot oversell in Xen. However, what is the difference between Xen PV, Xen KVM and HVM (I was going through this provider's specs? Which one is better for what purposes and why?


Edit:

For an end-user who will just be hosting websites, which is better? From efficiency or other point of view, is there any advantage of one over the other?
