Hey Bill, I've been with Boxnix almost 2 years now and have worked with them
quite a bit.  They put a lot of time into ensuring their virtual hosts are
really secure.  Their servers seem to get tighter and tighter, but whiles
staying developer friendly  all the time.  All their accounts have been
sandboxed incredibly well.  'nobody' no longer exists on their servers, as
all your scripts run as 'you' (your login).  They explained it to me at some
point, but it's been a while.  I haven't tested to any serious degree, but
from what I've seen thus far, you can't get out of your sandbox and into
others.

I tend to highly recommend them quite often.

P.S. I've worked with them before as a freelance developer... So, I am
biased, but that's due to good service and good people.   I don't get
anything for recommending them, nor would I have worked with them if they
sucked.
