Depends on what your are doing. I have a Virutal server with Rus and its fine
for what I need but I had to move SportNetwork away from thse types of
accounts because of the lack of control on the CPU because if someone decided
to install something at lunchtime SN would have a big panic and fall over.
You really would only notice the difference when you start doing serious
amounts of CPU work.

SN managed on virutal servers like Rus's for ages, it was only when we started
to skirt the 4 million page imps a month did it start to worry. So if you
want to save even more cash go with Rus.

Or get Rus to source you a Dedicated server which will be preped and ready to
go by him.

Feck you don't need Rus I'm doing all the selling today ;-)

Man I have to work hard to get a discount ;-)

He doesn't seem to be online just now. Give him a mail he normally checks
them: [EMAIL REMOVED]
