THe CPU time can still be shared (and oversold).

At least at the time I did my searches, Xen was popular among hosting
providers. At least those that offered unmanaged Debian guests, which is
what I wanted.
UML had a head-start, but has no read technical atvantage, AFAIK, and
was on the retreat when I looked (e.g: linode.com). I was surprised at
the relative small amount of vmware-based services. KVM was not mature
enough at the time.
