I'm looking for a recommendation for a virtualization specification.
I want to use it to host roughly 40 VPS, primarily for web hosting. The budget for this trip is roughly $100. Can someone recommend a decent business and spec for me?

Re: I'm looking for a recommendation for a virtualization specification.
The three elements to consider when selecting virtualization hardware include the CPU, memory, and network I/O capacity. They're all critical for workload consolidation.
Issues with the CPU pertain to either clock speed or the number of cores held by the CPU. Please don't run out and buy the market's fastest CPU. Instead, buy one with more modest clock speed and a greater number of cores.
Your virtual machine resides in memory. The more memory you have, the greater your consolidation. You need at least enough DDR3 memory to support the number of workloads you run on the system.
Be sure you have adequate bandwidth available.
Consider upgrading your network interface to a quad port NIC. You may even install a 10 GbE NIC if your workload demands justify it.
