I don't know about AOIndustries in particular, but there are quite a few
ISPs that have specialized versions of the underlying operating system
that creates (in effect) multiple separate machines. In such an
environment, each subscriber gets what feels like their own complete
server (complete with "root" access), although multiple subscribers are
actually sharing the same machine.
If you run something like Tomcat behind Apache, it's also not that hard to
have a separate JVM for each individual subscriber (without modifying the
OS). The memory occupancy of this approach is higher, which is one of the
reasons it generally costs more.
