Both VMgenie and Virtualizor let you run KVM-backed virtual servers from a web panel, but they were built around different priorities. This page lines them up feature by feature so you can see where each panel fits your operation.
Rows compare a specific capability. “Yes” means the panel ships the feature today. “No” means the panel either does not ship it or ships it only as a separately-licensed add-on. Where the two panels differ in scope or behaviour, the cell calls it out.
No matching features.
| Feature | VMgenie | Virtualizor |
|---|---|---|
| KVM-backed virtual servers | Yes — KVM is the only supported hypervisor; every VM is a KVM guest. | Yes — supports KVM, Xen, OpenVZ and LXC from one panel. |
| Full IPv4 with a universal gateway | Yes — every provider’s IPv4 works via the universal gateway 169.254.1.1, so a VM can migrate between servers without changing the gateway or netmask inside the guest. |
No — assigns IPv4 directly on the host bridge and requires each provider’s gateway to be configured inside the guest. |
| IPv6 pool splitting | Yes — splits the assigned /48 or /56 into smaller blocks per VM. | Yes — supports per-VM IPv6 but does not split the pool automatically. |
| Template sync across the cluster | Yes — templates are pushed automatically to every server from a central repo; each server can keep its own pool. | Partial — templates can be replicated, but distribution is not automatic and per-server pools require manual work. |
| Multitasking UI (serial console + VNC + usage) | Yes — serial console, VNC and live usage graphs can be opened side by side in the same browser tab. | No — console and VNC are separate modal dialogs; live usage is on a different page. |
| Physical-server overview | Yes — one page lists every physical server, its hardware and the resources still assignable. | Partial — lists servers, but resource availability is per-server only. |
| Reseller accounts | Yes — resellers can create and manage their own VMs on hardware you assign them. | Yes — resellers are supported; pricing is per-reseller licence. |
| Per-user resource quotas | Yes — CPU, RAM, disk, IPv4 and IPv6 quotas are per user, not just per panel. | Partial — per-user limits exist but disk and bandwidth are panel-wide only. |
Public API (/api/v1) |
Yes — JSON over HTTPS; same surface for the panel UI and for customer integrations. | Yes — ships an API; some endpoints are licensed separately. |
| Single sign-on (SAML / OIDC) | Yes — SAML 2.0 and OIDC on the Business tier. | No — not part of the standard panel; only available through third-party plugins. |
| Self-hosted deployment | Yes — one binary, one install command, runs on your own servers and your own subdomain. | Yes — self-hostable; requires a licence key tied to the server’s IP. |
| Licence model | Subscription per panel, with included vCPU / RAM / disk / IPv4 / IPv6 that move with you between plans. | Per-server perpetual licence plus optional annual support. |
Both panels run KVM virtual servers from a web UI, but the priorities are different. VMgenie is built around the operations a hosting provider or in-house team actually runs day-to-day: serial console + VNC + live usage on one screen, a universal IPv4 gateway so VMs are portable between providers, and per-user quotas so reseller accounts stay bounded. Virtualizor is the older product with broader hypervisor coverage (KVM, Xen, OpenVZ, LXC) and a wider plugin ecosystem.
The cells above describe what each panel ships in its standard release. We only claim a “Yes” for VMgenie when the feature is in the released product and works on every supported plan, and we only claim “No” for Virtualizor when the feature is genuinely not present in the standard panel — anything that needs a separate licence or a third-party plugin is called out in the cell.
The fastest way to see the differences is to open the panel yourself.
