Before = shared hosting, now VPS, but is dedicated the new VPS?

How does it do that? I can understand that it makes management easier in some ways, but you can max out your dedi with or without virtualization.

Depends what you're doing If you need to run multiple OS's for different configs, why would you buy 2 or 3 dedis if you only need the resources of 1?

I suppose that's possible, but I can't see wanting to run multiple OS's. I could see using multiple LXC or Docker containers under one OS but that's not really virtualization.

I have an E3 that's broken up into a few VMs, one running Windows used as a remote desktop and then a few Debian/Ubuntu VMs for running different web stacks and misc services.
