Cheap hosting solutions probably will not host you on a RAID solution - and if they do, you're most likely sharing the load with a bunch of other clients.

Bottom line, the only reason you need RAID is to protect yourself from harddrive failure, which sadly happens much too often these days with cheaper drives. Only run on non-RAID if you are hosted on SCSI.. that's your best bet. Otherwise, go with RAID.
