CPanel VPS limitations
Hi, I came across the CPanel VPS licenses in this forum and was wondering what the limitations are (limited sites, db's or what?).
I'm specially interested on how they define a VPS server:
Let's say I install a CentOS server and add Xen to it. I go then ahead and install just ONE virtual server on this machine which is allowed to use the full harddrive, both processors and all of RAM. Technically I'm running a VPS now, but a very powerful which does exact the same thing a "regular" dedicated server would. Do I still qualify for the CPanel VPS license?
Thank you for some clarification here, don't want to do something wrong/illegal, but obviously get the best deal for my server farm (and Xen would also help in moving servers around between hardware).

Yes, it still counts as a VPS.
There was another thread about this a while back.
There are no limitations either on DBs or sites.-- Adam

VPS will have limitations on the memory usage. If there is adequate burst memory, there will not be much issues.

cPanel itself detects if its on a VPS via a number of methods and its just a cheaper license but that is all. However if you try to use a VPS license on a dedicated it will auto-expire itself as I've done that a few times by accident

@a2b2: Thank you for this information, however like I said the dedicated server would be a VPS (one virtual server, hosted on a dedicated machine) and therefore it seems that I meet all requirements.
Maybe I can put 2 Xen Express VPS's on a single IBM blade server with dual Xeon processor and 2 GB RAM, what do you guys think? ..it's still almost a full dedicated server and I could easily host 400-500 accounts that way.
