Yeah, this was officially announced at iserver 3-4 weeks ago. It's been in beta
testing for months.
I would say that the only weird thing about it is that they only give you one
server config so a lot of the lightweight front-end, heavyweight-perl back-end
stuff in the guide is a bit useless for iserver.
I don't know if the same issues exist for other "generic" mod_perl virtual server
hosting packages. But it is something to watch for if the intent is superfast
performance of your website (as opposed to just fast).
However, it definately does speed things up. And they have an interesting virtual
server model with a lot of value-added features (eg browsable backups you can
restore yourself) that you have to email a sysadmin at most small ISPs to help
you with manually.
Later,
