In fact, I think you should've looked at OpenVZ hosting sooner, because UML was such a gross solution. No disrespect to Jeff Dike, but UML is simply an unworkable model at its core. When he made his presentations at OLS 4 years ago, it seemed like a cool hack. But when I tried to hack on the code, it was a nightmare because adaptation of UNIX processes to CPU emulation created huge rough seams. No genius can make it work. This taught me that there's too much devil in details in these things. So I am careful to pronounce VMX the next great thing until I see the code and try to work with it. Not a day too soon, I say.
