Okay, thanks for the feedback everyone.
So the concensus is that dedicated is considerably more stable/reliable. However, is it actually powerful enough to compete with shared MSSQL databases or will a small/medium sized MS SQL Server database still bring a
dedicated server creaking to a hault? How about 20 small
website hostings with MSSQL databases? Would you still be confident in a
dedicated server then?
These are the sort of things I was hearing about
VPS Hosting over shared, and I've definitely made the wrong choice there, so I need to make completely sure the same didn't happen with a
dedicated server if I'm going to be paying huge amounts more.
Thanks again...
