Virtuozzo is solid, very good at sharing resources efficiently
amoung its virtual machines, and provides lots of information and
control to the end user, but requires licensing on a per-virtual-
machine basis.  I've had a couple virtual machines on a Tektonic
(http://tektonic.net/) server for years, and rarely had problems
with them.  Some time ago one of our servers was hacked, and it
took about three commands and 5 minutes to get it back up and
running off a backup (patching the attack vector took longer).
The Tektonic forum (http://tektonic.net/forum/) is a pretty good
resource if you have specific detailed questions about Virtuozzo.
