A comment on Hosting Survey.
* better security (hundreds of random customers can't write a PHP script to read my db config settings)
* better uptime (if one of those hundreds (thousands?) of websites gets slammed with traffic, my sites don't go down.)
* i can run as many websites as I want - same price
* it's handy to use ssh/rsync as a dropbox for distributing large files
* I get my own IP address, so if one of those hundred other customers sends spam or is hacked, my IP address isn't blacklisted.
