Virtual Servers vs Virtual Private Servers

Are there any real security benefits to operating Virtual Private
Servers as opposed to properly configured Apache virtual servers?

This sort of "wondering" question is better suited to a forum or
chat-room, rather than a technical support mailing-list.

Sorry. I didn't mean to offend the list. Mea Culpa. Do you have any
suggestions for said chat rooms or forums?

I wouldn't say it is totally off-topic, although I agree that there
are better forums elsewhere.

There are certainly some situations where apache virtual hosts don't
provide enough isolation. For example, read through
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PrivilegeSeparation
