Q. Am I able to upgrade my kernel in Virtuozzo?

Ans. Virtuozzo doesn’t allow any kernel modifications or upgradations. You may be running a variant of Linux 2.6 on Linux VPS Hosting that is the latest and additional stable Linux kernel. The idea of Virtuozzo Virtual Private Servers is distinct from the idea of traditional virtual machines within the respect that Virtual Private Servers (VPS Hosting) continually run the same OS kernel as the host system (Linux on UNIX, Windows on Windows, etc.). This single-kernel implementation technology permits to run Virtual Private Servers with a near-zero overhead.
