Hello,

I investigated this one a while back, there is no major advantage for now,
especially since Xen 4.x is now mainstream in the kernel [1]

I have looked at hosters and in Ireland, most of them use Xen. KVM is nice
and completely open, if I had a choice, I would go for it again (I used to
host my own KVM solution) but Xen ain't bad when done properly.
