VPS=Virtual Private Server
VDS=Virtual Dedicated Server
User Mode Linux (UML) is one way of provisioning a VPS. It partitions a 
Linux system into, typically, 4 to 40 virtual machines.
More at http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/uses.html
including a list of VPS providers.
(It's very much like my old IBM VM environment.)
Very interesting stuff.
