And this is precisely why an entire VPS industry has sprouted over the
past few years.  As someone stated down thread, give your customers what
they want and charge them accordingly.  This is trivially easy to do
with your choice of hypervisor with memory consolidation (same page
merging) and a guest OS template.  If your pool of IPv4 addresses is
limited charge them extra for that.  If they're exhausted, well, you can
go IPv6 only but that really has downsides.

Here's an even better idea.  Do what everyone else in your shoes does:
partner with a VPS provider and farm the bulk of this out.  There are
tons of small companies that do exactly this.  They buy X number of VPS
instances each with an IP address from a provider and rebrand them.  The
VPS provider does all the heavy lifting WRT provisioning.  You would
simply do the customization for your individual customers, i.e. DNS,
hostname, domain name, certificate, etc.  A basic VPS for this kind of
thing can normally be had for well less than $10/month.  The really
stripped down VPS services I see offered are $4.95/month.  All prices
USD.  If you already have a mailbox (IMAP/POP) server that currently
handles MX duty for all these customers, moving MX to these VPS
instances and relaying the mail to your mailbox server is easy as well.
