If you need to share a machine for hosting, then your best bet is
to use Jacques Gelinas' virtual servers:
http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/miscprj/s_context.hc

This is actually already used by a few hosting companies and it
is much better adapted to this job than anything Adeos can do.

I, for one, really like to idea of having 2 completely separate
OSes each running with their separate hardware linked using a
RAM-based virtual Ethernet. I don't like the idea of having to
make special modifications to block device drivers and I don't
like the idea of having layers of block requests (a-la VMWare).
This doesn't mean other folks can't find those things of some use.
But from my perspective, nanokernels are better off really being
"nano" ...
