[cvrle77]

in whm i see:

Processor Information Total processors: 8 Processor #1VendorGenuineIntel
NameIntel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz Speed2668.000 MHz Cache8192 KB

so what is it? a full dedi or semi?

i think this VPS. If you want to check then try to install cpanel. You will see in there. This the best how to know. If you're in VPS then you will get VPS optimized in cpanel. But if you're in dedicated you will see cpanel accelerated

use dmseg and pipe it with grep and check for virtual in the output of dmseg.

the method to check frm whw is correct and best

check there for whm vps optimized or whm optimized

and for your output for this cat /proc/cpuinfo

this mean this totally VPS not in dedicated. I have same spec with you i7-920 and you must have processor : 0 - 7 but yours only 0 - 1

Better you ask your hoster, what he said. if he said this dedicated server, then he lie. and better don't buy from them.

is this really a vps and not dedi?, can someone give me a code i can type in ssh and put the outcome here? how to see its dedi?

Does it say this in WHM/cPanel? If you don't know PM me your IM, I will help you.

cat /proc/vz/veinfo
Output : 101 0 137 XX.XX.XX.XX XX.XX.XX.XX

if there is output then u are on openVZ/virtuozzo VPS

if no output then you are on a Dedicated Server

btw: never tried Xen
