I could be misinterpreting Daniel, but I think he's still talking about a 1-to-1 relationship between instance and database, but that he's only running a subset of his databases at one time. So the host has, say, 6 databases on it, but only 3 of which are actualy instantiated at any given point (the others are just shutdown, not consuming any resources other than disk space).
