It is a kind of "better chroot". Some services are not easy
to make running chrooted but can still run in vserver guest.

I think it is good to have services running separated.
If one of them gets compromised, others still keep running.
One more extra layer of security, worth trying. The only
service I'm running on "master-server" (host) is ssh on
non-standard port, with pretty tight firewall rules...
