An interesting concept. I Google'd a bit, but I don't see HostGator getting into this yet ...

I think it is like a dedicated server, but a vitualbox on a server that hosts many virtual boxes. It would give you more of the dedicated server abilities at closer to the shared server pricing for web hosting. I bet HostGator could do this bigger, better, and cheaper than most others wannabe hosting companies if they made this a new part of their arsenal.

I see this as a way to see what a dedicated server can do,
without the initial expense of a dedicated server.

Taking Cloud computing to a Virtual Dedicated Server, is a cool concept.
