Shared hosting works fine for all of my blogs, but some websites I own that host video and get a good amount of traffic would not work for a shared host...not to mention I can control what's installed (ffmpeg and other things).

Gotcha, makes since. Hope it holds up.

Having said that, some hosts offer bargain basement used servers for as little as $20-25 a month. Performance will probably be better, or at least more consistent, than a VPS, but that advantage must be balanced against the higher risk of hardware failure.

I think that is the myth we have a couple VPS accounts ans shared accounts with what people say are the top companies and the VPS account are all horrible, they are slow, and crash time to time, and have more issues.
I look at it like this, why get a clutch on a Honda Civic when you can get a Porsche with an automatic. I definably would take the Porsche. Of course there is a lot of these that look like a Porsche but run like a Civic so you have text them out a little first.
