And now heads up, something totally new for all those "go dedicated" shouters: Believe it or not, there aren't experienced fulltime pro webmasters in this business only. Many people do this part time, or are maybe just starting up with their first sites, who maybe earn like $250-500 a month, or even less. Now you tell me they should invest $200+ on a dedicated server, although this will completely blow up their budget? Very funny. If I'm big enough one day to move to dedicated, I will. But for now, with not that much revenue and a transfer volume of 10-30GB a month, why the hell should I move to dedicated?

Thanks - I came in here to say just that. I make between $400-$800 a month on a virtual account with Colo-Cation. Why I need to go dedicated is beyond me - I think it's more of an ego trip, to say "Oh look pansy - I'm a big pornmaster and I'm on dedicated!" - big deal. That's like most of the people driving those huge SUVs (even if im rich I still won't ever buy one) that when something breaks down, they can't afford to fix it because they're paying through the nose on insurance and gas and they're hoping like hell nothing goes wrong. My little Dodge keeps running, and hey, if it does break down, I can fix it next day no problem.
It's all about knowing your needs and budgeting wisely. If you need dedicated hosting, then you need it. If you don't, there's no point to get it. Unless you feel like blowing your hard earned wad on bandwidth and CPU power/disk space you'll never use, but hey, if that earns you a right to be a dickhead - well then all the power to ya :)
