Hi Binni, It often depends on how over-subscribed / over-sold the server is as well as CPU scheduling. People often suggest KVM VPS' over OpenVZ etc.
There are a few companies that have VPS products specifically designed for voice hosting (presumably a lower ratio of VM's per server and upstream bandwidth better suited for voice) and this may be worth investigating. Some even provide templates for provisioning your container / VM with TrixBox or Elastix. If you are looking for a particular geographical location or a have a specific solution (conferencing / trunk lines etc) your options won't be as many.
