It looks like virtual servers are starting to take off as an option for web hosting companies.  Web hosting provider, IPOWER, Inc. (www.ipower.com) announced three new options of web hosting using virtual server technology.

By using Virtuozzo to power the VPS Power Series hosting option, along with the Plesk control panel, IPOWER is able to offer virtual servers, rather than dedicated servers, at a reduced cost to the customer and a lower overhead for the hosting company.

These are springing up everywhere, check your hosting company!
