Just tried for a few minutes all 3 of them. The C2S is a C2550, and the C2M and C2L are C2750. They each appear to be bare metal, and not virtualized. The VPS offering, which is advertised as a VPS, appears to be virtualized inside of a C2750. The C1 is a Marvell Armada 370/XP, a bare metal ARMv7l board.

This also is not my experience. I haven't ever received spam from them, nor received advertising.

This part of what you wrote is true, unfortunately. :(
- lisper 11y ago> They each appear to be bare metal, and not virtualized How can you tell?
- cyansmoker 11y agoThis can usually be determined heuristically: * loaded drivers may be named after the virtualization platform (VMware) * CPUs can be reported as "Virtual" in /proc/cpuinfo * Special files in /proc (for instance "vz" for OVZ) * Kernel name * etc.
