freeVSD can be made as safe as a standalone dedicated server providing Perl,
PHP etc... freeVSD does not, as yet, provide the ability to guarantee
specific RAM and CPU resources to each virtual server so poorly written
scripts can, in some circumstances, hog a hosting server's available
resources. We have already identified this as an area for improvment and are
working to implement a kernel based solution...
