Mono/XSP works quite well in terms of separation of websites. The only
real bug I've experienced with mod_mono/XSP is corrected in 1.0.1. It
should be noted that this bug is in a feature I originally pestered
Gonzalo for (wildcards), so we're lucky to have it at all. :) 

Performance is not comparable to Win2003/IIS6.0 for the same ASP.net
code, obviously, but with both Mono (class libs, etc.) and XSP improving
all the time, this gap is quickly narrowing.

Although we're not an ISP, we do provide Mono webhosting on our Linux
servers. Feel free to have a look at www.cityhost.ca. Also, we offer
free hosting, service, and support for open source projects
(particularly any with a relation to Mono).
