Hello everyone.
I'll try to shortly explain my situation.
I was considering getting a dedicated server and also adding friends site to it to help cover the costs by him paying some percentage.
Since my site has more traffic and creates more load on the server I am concerned it could create problem for his site and slow them down. So I was hoping there is away around to isolate our two sites.
The server comes with WHM/cPanel installed on Centos5.3
If I were to install OpenVZ on this server would WHM and cPanel remain fully functional ?
And if perhaps someone could suggest an alternative solution for what I need. I'd just like to make sure that any load created on my account doesn't affect my friends account.

Well, it seems cPanel definitely works fine with OpenVZ, just search this forum or google inernet - many people write about it.
But if i understand right you'll need to install cPanel inside a Container, not on a Hardware Node. But i'm not a cPanel guru, so can miss something - and you'd better ask about the cPanel migration details on a cPanel forum.

As far as i understand cPanel works completely in userspace and thus you can upgrade kernel on your node without a risk cPanel got broken.
OpenVZ installation is in fact just a new kernel and several rpms with tools installation, thus i believe installing OpenVZ on a cPanel node will not hurt cPanel. (In any case if (very unlikely from my point of view) something won't work you'll definitely be able to reboot back into previous kernel and get the same system you had before OpenVZ installation).
But! While being installed on the Hardware Node, cPanel (if i understand right) won't be able to manage anything inside a Container, thus if you want to run something inside a Container and use cPanel as a manager for that _inside_ a Container, you'll need to install cPanel also inside a Container.
If your problem is solved - please, report it!

Well, you can do another trick: you can install OpenVZ and create a Container. Just one Container. And put one "account" there.
Thus you'll get one normal cPanel account managed by cPanel and running inside a Hardware Node and one "account" inside a Container.
Yes, this won't be normal cPanel account cause there will be no cPanel inside a Container at all, by if you can manage "account" without cPanel - this can work for you: in this configuration you can limit CPU for Container and Hardware Node.
If your problem is solved - please, report it!
