I currently run over 5 Virtual MS using VirtualBox and phpvirtualbox using lighttpd as a web server.

  1. Install VirtualBox
  2. Install apache2 or lighttpd
  3. Download phpvirtualbox and move to htdocs
  4. Access phpvirutalbox using web browser and manage your guest OS's

If you cannot install and run a web server on the system and truly only have SSH as access you can look at using the VBoxManage command

VBoxManage

Chapter 8. VBoxManage

Obviously you will need to have access to RDP ports in order to manage the guest OS via console.
