LXC are containers that use the kernel of the host operating system. LXC is virtualization at the OS level. If we are talking about KVM virtualization, then this already applies to virtual machines that use their own kernel. KVM is virtualization at the hardware level. What you indicated in the first post are most likely virtual machines - VPS, but not containers. Unless there is a mistake in the product description. That is, LXC containers have nothing in common with KVM. These are completely different virtualization technologies with different levels of environment isolation.

meant like does it mean it's like a KVM VPS or is it still a LXC container
If it says KVM, its KVM, otherwise its LXC.
