Big project of wasted time?

I have an extra server here just wasting away, so I figured I would throw in 6x80GB drives and ESXi and setup a mini virtual dedicated host..
The catch: I would give away the hosting spots to newbs to develop on, in exchange for a hard link to my main page.

The question: is this possibly a good idea considering I have 1 static IP?
how or does anyone use a shared host and submit using the same IP as others on the same host?

the idea seems great but the IP thing has me worried, and i'm not about to buy 6 new IP's to give away.. any thoughts?
