[Cialug] Best practices for isolating Wordpress sites

[Jeffrey Ollie]

How much control over the virtual host do you have?  If you have full root
control, I'd look into containerization (e.g. Docker).  That'll get you a
lot more security (although not as much as full virtualization) without
using up a lot more resources.
