A comment on FreeBSD Jails the hard way. Parent comment
The very first VPS provider[1] based their offering on jail and FreeBSD. They still offer them today (I sold the business in 2004).
We didn't call them "VPS" - that term came about later, in 2002 I think ... we called them "server instances".
We also didn't have any of these nifty deployment/monitoring/management tools - there was nothing but jail(8).
