easyhosting Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Below is a reply i received from Matt in regards to a module to replace HyperVM "Hi, As soon as there's a clear favorite for what people are moving to from HyperVM then we'll certainly be looking at writing a module for it. Regards, Matt " As Matt wants us to come up with a favourite to replace the HyperVM modules then please list here your favourite control panel to replace HyperVM. Please no long winded stories, just simple choices here. Edited June 10, 2009 by easyhosting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozeph Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) first option (support everything - openvz, xen, virtualbox, etc): Have API support too http://www.libvirt.org second option: Don't know if have API support http://www.vtonf.com 3rd option: Have API support, but isn't free. virtuozzo Edited June 10, 2009 by jozeph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is buggy, developer MIA (I read so), last update is a year ago I think. Virtuozzo is definitely very welcomed, as I'm sure many WHMCS clients are eager to have that being supported. There is something being developed called SolusVM, and their ETA is mid-July. Not sure if it is a good one, but looks promising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihostgreen Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Virtuozzo as it has been requested sooooo many times and for so long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozeph Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 But virtuozzo not supports xen machines. In this case, libvirt.org is an excellent api to be used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik H. Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Virtuozzo please ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb1439 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Virtuozzo - popular and proven, although no Xen support XenServer 5 - popular, proven and enterprise-grade...and now free so economical for hosting providers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb1439 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Also VDSmanager (from ISPsystem.com) - quite good but a bit pricey. Also not very widely used, but that's probably due to their lack of marketing. That "other" web host billing software already supports VDSmanager and other products from ISPsystem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chow Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 My huge favorite would be proxmox. I'm using it as long as hypervm but although lesser options I find it very very stable. Furthermore it seems to perform better compared to Hypervm. If a Proxmox module would become available I buy everyone a beer here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb1439 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Is proxmox similar to HyperVM? Their site seems to present it as an anti-spam tool...but I didn't look long enough to see if there are different products. BTW, a few people on WHT are already saying they've migrated to VDSmanager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efisher Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 How about one we've all been asking for for a long time... Virtuozzo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozeph Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I will insist in libvirt, for just one reason: work with any virtualization technology. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNodashi Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Virtuozzo please ! How about one we've all been asking for for a long time... Virtuozzo. Vituzzon doesn't support full virtualiztion (like XEN / KVM / VMWare does) so it shouldn't be a replacement for HyperVM. My choices would be Citrix Xenserver promoxo enomaly openQRM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNodashi Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 libvirt is also a good option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My choices would be Citrix Xenserver promoxo enomaly openQRM I look these solutions, and all that don't offer support to OpenVZ and XEN at the same time. HyperVM support both virtualization types, for this reason I suggest libvirt.org. Some reasons to use it: 1- it's just an API; 2- a module can be created directed in whmcs, without any control panel; 3- users will manage vmachines inside whmcs; 4- run every kind of type virtualization model; 5- it's free and opensource; features: * The Xen hypervisor on Linux and Solaris hosts. * The QEMU emulator * The KVM Linux hypervisor * The LXC Linux container system * The OpenVZ Linux container system * The User Mode Linux paravirtualized kernel * The VirtualBox hypervisor * Storage on IDE/SCSI/USB disks, FibreChannel, LVM, iSCSI, NFS and filesystems * Remote management using TLS encryption and x509 certificates * Remote management authenticating with Kerberos and SASL * Local access control using PolicyKit * Zero-conf discovery using Avahi multicast-DNS * Management of virtual machines, virtual networks and storage * Portable client API for Linux, Solaris and Windows * A toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). * Free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. * A long term stable C API * A set of bindings for common languages * A CIM provider for the DMTF virtualization schema * A QMF agent for the AMQP/QPid messaging system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 VDS Manager seems to be good for us. Still looking into all the options though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Also, just to clear things up VDS Manager is £190 Owned Lifetime License or £29/month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
