I used VServers about 18 months ago and they were running Apache in inetd
mode.
There are pros and cons to this; it makes things more secure in some ways --
users cannot change the IP/port their Apache runs on, Apache runs totally
non-root (so in a VSD you wouldn't need any port redirection). But it makes
HTTP requests slower (your server has to spawn a brand new httpd process for
every connection) and less scalable (each httpd process does not know about
the existence of any others -- there's no pool size regulation, so you have
to rely on your [x]inetd configuration to limit connections.
For hosting low traffic sites inetd mode may be a good option, although in
newer versions of Apache it is deprecated (which suggests to me it is
probably not tested well -- so beware of security issues etc.).
