I think you have misunderstood me :)
We do NOT have VIRTUAL HOSTING, we have a MANAGED SERVER, a whole 
machine for us ALONE and NO OTHER customers are on that machine.
The only difference between this machine and a "true" root server is 
that security updates are "managed" by the ISP. So we do not have a root 
access.
But they refused to install the VServer after checking because it's too 
risky in their eyes.
