Reasons to have one instance per customer:

- Distinct quality of service.
- Ability to restart instances on a per customer basis.
- Distinct Products offering.

Of course, you have more overhead with each instance in terms of CPU, 
memory, etc.

My suggestion would be to start with single instance and grow from 
there.  But this is something I'm learning too.
