Ok, so these guys would have to be over allocating their boxes to put that many instances on what could only be so many cores per box. I wouldn't be doing anything that might slow down the instances so there are only 2 since I only have 8 cores available. Otherwise there could be slowdowns, which would be counter to the emphasis of the company. This would add to the value and price point. I certainly don't want to be part of the race to the bottom & get a mention on lowendbox.com- on the contrary, I prefer the harder battle to find the high end clients & cater to them. I just want to rent more than 1 per box- so 2 is good for me. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The problem is that high-end clients would want somebody with stability, resources, and above all HISTORY. There are too many people who setup hosting companies because it is comparatively cheap to get started; buy a box, fill it, buy another. But doing it right involves having spare hardware, on-site access to pull out failed drives etc, etc. If you're one person and you have a single machine then I can't even rent two guests/machines from you and do load-balancing which rules you out entirely.
