We use LXC (what is under Docker) instead of OpenVZ to separate asterisk 
instances, and when Dahdi is needed I typically run an asterisk instance 
"on the host" and have SIP trunks between the container and the host 
instances.

That's another issue thought and is not different on a dedicated server. 
With proper monitoring of the resources, you can troubleshoot. I've 
found voipmonitor.org to be invaluable in that regard.
