When one rents a domU, what are some of the security concerns to have? I haven't used Xen at all, but am considering to purchase a domU. I guess the administrator of the xen server (dom0) can read all information (hard drive) on all domUs, is this correct? What would be some countermeasures? Lets say I don't want them reading the emails in my mail server.
William
