Sure. Although it gets tricky if you want to have different product
versions for them.

Sligthly more tricky, but still possible. Especially bandwidth can be
problematic, but if you have separate domains for each user and have
an apache-server that regulates the bandwidth per domain it should be
fine.

You would also have to mount a separate ZODB for each user.

But having one instance per user is probably eaasier.
