i also pay $230 a month for a dedicated server, i have never looked back, as with VPS and any shared hosting. a hacker can just get an account and he has access to every site thats on the shared host or VPS. none are secure.

you get what you pay for. and that is what people dont understand, a dedicated server for $50 is an old slow server but idea for running a few dolphin sites from it.
it would give you the skills to move up as your sites become popular. so for once i agree with technoman. see more and he gets a thumbs up for once
