From what I can tell, Xen offers some compelling advantages over other VPS solutions (such as Virtuozzo).

Some pros are: better implementation of resource guarantees, better VPS isolation and much better performance in general. Plus, it is open source and, I think, free of license fees, which may make it less expensive to the hosting provider.

Some cons: relatively new technology, requires custom kernel builds.

Any plans to offer Xen as a VPS option?

Not at this time.

We're always considering new technologies, etc... but at this exact moment, there are no plans on the table to offer this. I most likely would not expect to see this till the ABSOLUTE earliest after we finish the Windows testing. Most likely we would not want to run two seperate beta programs or try to test two majorally different systems at the same time.
