> Hate to break it to you, but your virtual private server (VPS) is likely sharing a bare-metal server with other VPS. ;-)

Likely? Isn't that the point of a VPS?

You can reserve entire machines, even using VPS. Heck, you can even luck out and be the first VPS on a newly provision host.

Chances of either, slim. Still I try not to assume when I don't have the data.

Sure you might but be sharing, but the point is that you don't generally have to care.

It's all virtualized and cloudy.

VPS performances wildly vary from provider to provider though.

Yeah.

But its also the point of shared hosting, which the site hates on.

A good shared host (ex: HawkHost's semi-dedicated) will run circles around a Lowendbox VPS.
