More and more I'm leaning to Virtuozzo. Yeah, it's expensive compared to others, but you get what you pay for.

I personally never had problems with HyperVM, and I'd still use it if I was certain it would continue to be supported and was secure, but it's hard to say. Ever since the "Vaserv thing" hosts have been dropping it, but why? Is it because there WAS security vulnerabilities?

Many people, including myself have updated HyperVM and verified that it does in fact resolve the vulnerabilities. Vaserv said it was LXLab's fault, and that they updated just before the hack and were still hacked, but "the hacker" said it wasn't a zero-day vulnerability and that he was actually in their network 2 months ago.

Regardless of what the hacker said I think too many people are so easily letting LXLabs be Vaserv's scape goat. 4000 VPS down, what better thing to do to get the pressure off a bit than to blame someone else? Does it matter that Rus' password was "f0ster"? I think it does!

My point is that everyone's saying "HyperVM sucks" and all these bad things about KT(rip), but in reality he was a great developer, especially to do all he did as a 1 man show. And could everyone be making a BIG mistake here? Is it possible that Vaserv is at fault here and we could all be scrambling for an alternative when none is necessary?.. Yeah, it's possible.

Anyway, I think I went on a bit of a rant there. Like many others, I'm still not quite sure what to do, but http://forum.lxlabs.com/index.php?t=...12394&start=0& seems to give a good indication of where the HyperVM project is going..
