I think godaddy is still pretty good for getting a domain name, I been using it for years with no prob. Their support isn't that bad either. I found a pretty good article/video on how to buy a domain and set it up here: http://howeduvideos.com/lesson-2-get-a-domain-name/ That’s a nice article!

]]> Comment on OpenVZ vs Xen: Some VPS Basics by skies http://thelinuxfix.com/blog/2011/10/27/openvz-vs-xen-some-vps-basics/#comment-401 skies Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:30:34 +0000 http://thelinuxfix.com/blog/?p=85#comment-401 Container virtualization (OpenVZ, LXC, BSD Jails, Solaris Zones) and full virtualization (XEN, KVM, VWware, Hyper-V) they are solutions to different problems and that complement each other. I like and use both OpenVZ and KVM. Containers have low overhead (~3%) but some drawback of not being as feature rich as a complete system. Full virtualization have a larger overhead (~8-15%) but have good parts of being a full featured system with a separate kernel. If you need stuff like connecting to a SAN through iSCSI or custom kernel modules/drivers full virtualization is the way to go. OpenVZ have been lacking somewhat in some areas compared to a full OS, but it is catching up. It have gained support for NFS4 lately and support for swap is coming in future releases.

Do no use 'cp' to clone/copy the vmdk file. This will work but VERY slow. Use the vmkfstools command instead. Old post, but thought i’d add comment.
