Hi — I think it is booting up a dedicated server through PXE serial console, which is a bit different from SliceHost, which is rebooting a VPS from a spare partition.
I’ll say having a serial console would actually require more work by the hosting provider as everything needs to be wired together. But as you said, it has been done for a long time. Just that I have not seen anyone doing it for VPS yet.
