You might also want to try using FreeVSD. FreeVSD enables you to provide a
virtual-dedicated server environment for each client/user while only using
one server. Each client can configure his virtual server independently of
other clients, and are chrooted to their own file systems. For more
detailed/better information see where else but http://freevsd.org/
