Im not sure what your account name is, but I can pretty much bet you are on a virtual server with a bunch of other users that probably had some issues and was taken care of.

Really dont see a need for a poll like this with questions insinuating that there are major problems when there are in fact no major problems, but an isolated incident with a virtual server holding many accounts, which does happen from time to time.

How about a poll that asks, Should I upgrade to a vps or dedicated server so I am not at the mercy of a virtual account?
AMEN! You need to differentiate between shared environment on a virtual, as opposed to being on VPS, Dedicated, or Cloud instance which are MUCH more reliable, and not vulnerable to an abusive virtual draining the resources on a shared box. Shared hosting is priced accordingly because you are "SHARING RESOURCES", thus there is some assumed risk involved.

I feel ya moose!
