We do all our hosting on either OpenVZ or Xen.

One of my physical servers may be a big beasty divided into a number  
of Xen guests. One of these may be a Linux VM running many OpenVZ  
children. The OpenVZ host doesn't care that it is itself a virtual  
machine.

The advantages of virtualisation can be applied to more than one  
level, if you have the resources, and the use cases could be many and  
varied.
