I was speaking more from a standpoint of just starting out. If you have the money to spend on dedicated, then by all means do. That way you don't have to worry about someone fuckin up your box, but I assume most people like to test the water first. True that most, if not all, virtual plans will have downtime...but some have such a small amount that, to me, it really doesn't matter unless you're pushing a hefty amount of traffic.
So far I haven't had any downtime with Webair, but I've only been with them for about a month now, so take my opinion of them lightly.

Webair advertises 99% uptime even with their virtual plans. I know I wouldn't pay more money for a bigger setup to a host who couldn't keep their promise with a smaller plan.
