Very understandable now my I offer some counter points since I have several dedicated boxes.
1. I may only need a few megs space and low transfer amounts with minimal db access.
2. I may want to have sites spread out around the world for reasons that are typically obvious to most that want to link to their own sites.
3. I may have anywhere from ten to a few thousand of such sites. If each was a dedicated I would have a server bill that would be in the low six digits.
4. I may not need all the resources a dedicated may have.
5. If a company is offering a loss leader such as a virtual they should be showing their best in hopes that you like them enough that when you need more you will buy from them.
6. Not all hosting companies treat virtual holders like shit.
7. Not all virtual users are newbs who have not thought out their business plans and profit margins.
8. It is easier to get very unique and very non related IP addresses and the like with virtuals over one or two dedicated servers.
