    Probably not, particularly as they most likely oversell by large amounts.

    Dedicated : no
    VPS : for openvz : generally no , for xen : might have
    Generally too much CPU intensive VPS accounts are suspended.

    they will not even allow you to run forum with 50 users online.
    go for a clustered solution with a dedicated mysql server.

    dedicated servers , you control the complete server so only physical limits exist

    VPS servers , you are limited to the cpu and ram you have purchased .

    Yes, technically you could host them on a shared server, but don't go with an over-seller, because you most likely will exceed the cpu limit for your account

    1000 concurrent user in a shared hosting will be difficult. Take a dedicated server for it. Vps is not a good idea for it.
