For me it came down to the fact that having a real VPS lets me host all my other projects on there too for the same price, and I'm a cheap bastard. I've got 19 different domains (including subdomains) hosting different things on that one VPS. None of them have an significant traffic to speak of and none of them make money, so having them all on the same server is the only way that I could reasonably afford to host them all.
