Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

There is ongoing work upstream to allow 32-bit domU's to run on 64-bit 
hypervisors, but that doesn't work right now.
Thanks. So if my hardware was newer (or I wait long enough :-),
I could get a 32 bit OS to run fully virtualized. I'll see what
happens when we try it at work on a box that does have the
hardware support.

Forgive me for jumping in here, but, in theory, it *should* be
possible to utilize a 64-bit domU kernel with a 32-bit userland,
assuming of course that the domU kernel has 32-bit compatibility
turned on.  In practice, getting the 32-bit userland set up might be
somewhat tricky, but this shouldn't be impossible.

Am I missing something?

Yes, you are right, of course.  I was mainly talking about running a 32-bit 
domU *kernel* on a 64-bit hypervisor/dom0.
