I want to share a SQL Server in a hosted environment, for Sharepoint and other software, using SQL Server.
Should I install one instance of SQL Server for each customer, or are there other options to consider?

Yes, you can. With all the overhad and no sensible coordination.
Do not provide sa / admin roles for tenants, but a UI that then creates databases, users etc.
Thousands of hosters do that, so you can too.
Higher editions of SQ LServer have a ressoruce governor that can avoid that one tenant swallows up the complete resources of a server.
Get used to by a real server with a lot of discs.
