I'm pretty novice with Virtualization stuff but excited to become more familiar with them.

 I've used numerous cloud hosting providers Virtualization offerings - Amazon EC, Droplet, Atlantic.net, GoGrid 

Of the above I like Atlantic.net the most just because they are fairly priced, provide tons of bandwidth, price per minute, have lots of OS offerings (Windows 2008-Window 2016, FreeBSD, various versions of Ubuntu, CentOS, Redhat EL)
And they offer continuous backups for a small charge with a retention of 30 days.  So it's nice because you can screw up a VM badly and just restore the whole server from previous day.

I've used Virtual Box (all on Windows to play around with various Linux flavors and host old Windows VMs)

Just getting into Docker but still scared of the thing.

No familiarity with Vagrant, KVM or Jails.

Thanks,
Regina
