Question for ZZ... why do you say not to use a virtual hosting plan? Too much traffic?

P.S. Hopefully ZZ will be the next to post (500)... seems appropriate  |
Why not use virtual hosting?
1. Some scripts are cpu hungry. Using two of them on a machine with a few dozen accounts just slows everything down.
2. I know for a fact that some people put 30+ virtual accounts on a Pentium 4 machine.
3. Alot of virtual accounts can't handle the traffic. Either because the machine is too overcrowded. Or because the bandwidth gets congested Picture this 50 people are directed to your site but only 25 of them have a satisfactory load rate.
Now if something like this were to be happening there would be a domino effect. For example your trades sending you the right amount of traffic but the traffic is not getting to you. Therefore you X the trade for being bad.
4. Some of the popular scripts need shell access and other server priveleges. They usually won't give you that access because of security reasons.
