the only thing you should worry about is having regular backups (even though some of the hosts provide them too) and then you're fine. What do you think is the worst that can happen to you?

Have your site down for the weekend? It happened to me, didn't affect my SE placement at all, and it happened only once in so many years and quite a few virtual hosts, had two dedicated for a while, had my share of problems there too, one got hacked, remote connect doesn't work and so on...

I'd rather have my sites on 10 virtuals than one dedicated (talking about sites built for SE with not so much traffic, heavy scripts etc)
