5No Just, no. Using VirtualBox to maintain a production server is a very bad idea. VirtualBox is for doing tests, nothing mission critical.– Bart De VosJun 20, 2012 at 8:23

Dump VIrtualBox and use a proper virtualization technology.
To start with:
it crash!
Ok, now I am not used to VirutalBox - I use Hyper-V and have experience with VmWare, and outside a power or hardware failures I never had any of my servers just crash.
You likely have borked drivers.
Proper server virtualization products support autostart. Xen, XVM, Hyper-V, VmWare. All have a free version even. VirtualBox is not a server system. It was not planned as one, not programmed to be one.
Dump VirtualBox, install some proper Hypervisor, be happy.
