I have not looked too hard for a chargeback mechanism. We use Apache's virtual host mechanism to provide multiple websites in one linux instance. None of them are really large enough to collect money from. If we did have to charge one particular customer, our plan is to give them their own linux instance stripped down to just the cron/ssh/http/mysql services they need and charge them for the entire virtual machine based on the accounting cards - CPU time only and maybe a flat fee for infrastructure.
