openvz container. Indistinct limits ( https://wiki.openvz.org/Proc/user_beancounters) , you can't change the kernel, often you can't load kernel modules (you can't run part of the software).
In Xen, the kernel cannot be changed (if it is not Xen HV) - more precisely, you need the xen-kernel in the guest, otherwise it looks like "you have RAM, CPU, IO and do whatever you want with them."

What, someone else offers them? Nevertheless, they switched to KVM.
Containers are resource efficient. But it is important only for the hoster, it allows him to save.
