Re: [PLUG] Run VirtualBox on a VPS?

Even VMware now allows running ESXi nested inside ESXi which is how the free on-line HOL training labs work.

But nested ESXi hosting is not supported, and I imagine nested virtualbox also has some edge cases, so this would

likely not be recommended for production use.

I have found that pushing PAAS type workloads to the cloud are often cost effective, but running multiple VM's in the

cloud is not cost effective.

I work at 1and1.com and i managed to get virtualbox running on one of our cloud servers. You must use nat and not bridged networking and our cloud platform runs on vmware. If you are interested we have datacenters in Kansas, Germany and Spain.

This is a follow-up to my request for hosting company recommendations.

I want to run multiple virtual servers using VirtualBox on a hosted server.
I had assumed I could rent a virtual server instead of a dedicated server
because my performance needs are very modest.

However, will VirtualBox run under a KVM or Xen-based virtual machine on a
commercial server?
