Jail is next step in freeBSD after chroot to provide security. It is 
very close to VPS in a sence that it provides separate root access, and 
create separate "context" for applications to run in, but it does have 
number of limitations. It supports at most 1 IP, there is no disk quota 
support (also can be implemented by making separate partition inside the 
file). In depth overveiw is here:

Do you understand these jails?  Perhaps you can tell us exactly what
is possible (or refer me to a good summary) and then we can compare
the features.  I've only just started using FreeBSD, so am no expert
on them.
