It is still a shared hosting with heavily loaded boxes. They provide great storage and bandwidth, but a few busy dynamic sites (say 10k unique a day on WP) can still get you into trouble. Try a good VPS company if you can't yet afford dedicated servers. They are still shared, but are having far less accounts on each server. Much cheaper as well. @Caz — if you are moving to DreamHost for CPU reasons, then forget about it. It is still a shared hosting with heavily loaded boxes.

It was getting a bit tetchy with our old host and we moved late last year to Routhost. It's been an absolute nightmare ever since - all CPU load related. I 100% agree about how misleading it is. If they give you a crapload of bandwidth and you are using that bandwidth it's reasonable to expect you'll use a fair bit of CPU resources as well. If Dreamhost doesn't work out I guess that its a dedicated server - if we can afford it - or else I guess it's time to call it a day. We’re about to move to Dreamhost for CPU reasons.

Who would try to serve a high bandwidth site on a shared account? It's rock stupid. You really do get what you pay for. I'm currently on a VPS and I'm honestly looking to upgrade to a dedicated server. So that I can monitor bandwidth issues a bit better now that I'm hosting podcasts and I plan to start hosting video so that becomes even more an issue. Again its about what you pay for.

I guess I gotta look real closer now before committing.
