I don't get shared hosting at all. VPSs are dirt cheap these days.
- CGamesPlay 17y agoVPSes are still shared hosting and are not immune from the problem.

- pavs 17y agoThey won't shut you down for over-using resources. As a matter of fact you can't over-use resources, you can only use the resources you are given to you. I know they are different type of VPS, I am referring to Slicehost/Linode type VPS which has hard limit and acts very much like dedicated single box. More important to me is that I am really really really surprised that Ycombinator was running on a shared account. This just blew my mind. I have no hard feelings towards pear, I would have shut the site down too; possibly long ago.

- chrischen 17y agoThey limit memory at Slicehost but not CPU. I think you can still burst CPU for too long and they'd eventually tell you to upgrade.
