They've modified the stock FreeBSD jails pretty heavily and most of the time it's not obvious you're running in a jail, but if you want to do anything like create virtual interfaces, use your own mountpoints or (as the OP mentioned) experiment with firewall setups you'll be out of luck. JC does also offer dedicated servers on which they're more than happy to install and support FreeBSD, but I'm not sure that meets the "low-cost" requirement. JN
