It's now been in place for about a week, and so far i've seen no difference than running the services on the physical host. if it's host issues, i should be back online within a day. Guest issues then it'll only break that specific service.<br>

well worth looking into KVM over virtualbox though. i found it performs better and more suited to headless servers.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Or also have a look at Proxmox. KVM is very good but the management tools are limited. There's VM Manager which you have to run over an X session on your Windows PC which I think is more complicated than it should be, and the web-based admin tools for KVM are very limited. Proxmox, on the other hand, is built around a superb web interface for managing the hypervisor and it's VMs/containers. And it's super-simple to install while giving you pretty much the same features you'd get with KVM (KVM is under the hood). And it's free just like KVM (though you can opt for a paid subscription if you want support from the company rather than the community).</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
