You can get a lot more than 60 virtual servers on a single physical machine,
though admittedly it does mean the server's resources are spread more
thinly...
I am afraid I haven't had an opportunity to use it, so I am interested to
know if serverXchange really is a breeze to install? I thought it came as a
piece of hardware which arrives with everything pre-installed and
pre-configured and you then leave everything pretty well alone. Is that not
the case?
Also, one of the arguments for not giving virtual server owners root access
is it simply gives people more rope to hang themselves. Reduce the problems
they are able to cause, while not restricting their ability to manipulate
what they want, and you reduce your support (and maintenance) involvement...
