Yes, I also think that feature is what we think. I tried it and the new vhosts are shown to the WebAdmin, but I cannot login to the new vhosts until a restart. So it's the feature, but isn't yet fully working.

From the Ejabberd 17.03 changelog:
- dynamic configuration reload. Thanks to this improvement, it’s now possible to add and remove virtual hosts via configuration reload.
Am I right that I won't need to restart ejabberd after adding/removing virtual hosts in Ejabberd 17.03?

1. There isn't any specific limit, just ejabberd's efficiency, and your machine's capacity. So, you can keep adding vhosts until the machine is too slow.

2. Not possible, a restart is required.

3. One vhost with many users probably is a little more efficient than many vhosts with few users, because ejabberd is designed to support thousands of users, not thousands of vhosts. But the most important reason in your case is point 2 (adding vhosts requires a restart).
