There is nothing wrong with virtualisation as long as you use it for web servers etc... Not some busy game servers... because the CPU and the RAM is SHARED. The network connection on the parent machine is also shared across other VPSs. Some GSP advertise that their VPS can handle game servers very well. Thats just BS IMO.
If your friend is running CSS, TF2 and Gmod servers on 1 VPS, they wont lag if empty or with few players on. Once they gain popularity, that's when the lag hits all 3 gameservers. If you are on a tight budget, get game server slots, works out alot cheaper than a VPS.
