Making the switch to a dedicated server was a pretty big leap of faith for me when I did it a few years back. I decided to do it because of some bad experiences with downtime on shared hosting platforms, and because of the fact that my websites were profitable, so downtime = lost revenue. What I didn’t know at the time, was all of the great advantages that would ensue by switching over to a managed dedicated sever. Just to name a few:

1. Increased server response time.

2. much better customer service / support (remember you’re in the top tier of customers now!).

3. Complete control over server settings.

That being said, if I had to make the choice again, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
