Hi, This should probably be discussed off-list, anyway - the one that has the most dedicated resources and has the best security policy. Generally when it comes to keeping the kernel/system tools updated it's all about your own OS since it's usually "independent" from the hostnode. Except kernel in the openvz-case where the provider is responsible of keeping the kernel up to date. There will always be undiscovered holes in the kernel and/or toolchain but a hoster that does not put their hardware nodes on the internet is one step closer to good security.
There is no way you can "restrict" a hosters access to your VPS, that's basically true for DS as well if you have the root-password in some sort of control-panel or if the support has it for some reason. Basically, depending on what type of security you really want, both is as secure as you make them - or as the provider makes it. There will always be a risk of getting "owned". //T On Mon, March 5, 2012 00:28, Stayvoid wrote: > Hello! > > Which one is more secure? > VPS is usually cheaper then DS so I don't really want to pay extra > money for nothing. > > I also want to restrict hoster's access to my machine.
