That is a good idea.  Since we have to have the host OS running,

I agree.  I do not want a solution that depends on software
installed on the guest since the client has control of that.

Will your e-commerce site go offline if you have
a DB server failure, fiber cut, flood, fire, or other disaster?
If so, ask about our geographically redundant database system.
