When your web site is working over time as a virtual host/shared host, it's time to upgrade to a managed dedicated server. A virtual host, is a web server which is located on a physical server that shares it's resources with many other virtual servers. These work wonderful for most web sites and is certainly economical if your site does not demand a more costly dedicated server. However when it's time to move up, you will need to make the jump.

Signs that you need to move up are:

• High hit rate (several thousand per week)
• Slow downloads on pages which normally download quickly and your Internet connection is running at normal speeds (a result of too much traffic on your site)
• An inability to connect to your web site because it is recieveing too many hits and it is busy
• CGI scripts are running slow or are using up too many CPU cycles
• You need total control or root access to your server
• You need more bandwidth and don't want to pay the usual shared hosting premium for it
• You need to be able to setup custom applications
