If you're really looking for a provider offering true FreeBSD virtual private server solution, chance are, they are most likely running jail systems. For everything else, your choice might be companies providing Xen, LVS, UML, or even vmware solutions although companies are less likely to offer the last option option. I suggest you do some more research if a jail based virtual private server solution will suite to your needs, e.g; you require a dedicated resource allocation (e.g, minimum guaranteed memory etc.) that you won't get from a shared server solution, or you need a full access to the virtual environment including software compilation, or even kernel compilation, as well as firewall configuration etc. Once you've finalized your requirements, you can now do another research on the technical approach used by each of those solutions and finally base your decision if a particular solution really satisfy your needs. hint: google for "vps provider" Good luck. -mark On 11/28/06, Eric <heli@mikestammer.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am looking to move a website i run from its current provider (linux > based shared box) to a VPS solution.
