The major issue is that the space's internet connection really isn't
good enough to handle hosting servers over it, so these VMs are only
going to be useful to people who don't need a significant internet
connection, and also don't need any guarantee of reliability.

It seems silly to me to spend =C2=A31k/year running a server for the
benefit of Hackspace members. London Hackspace's aim is to provide
physical space, not servers, and it's not as if there's a particular
lack of commodity computing power these days.
