>but I would've thought majority of shared hosting providers have much higher CPU, RAM and ethernet speeds? Not always - for example I have one VPS with 64mb of ram, on a shared 1gbit line, and one with 128mb of ram on a shared 100mbit line. I use them for TT-RSS (nginx + php-apc + php-fpm + postgresql), a self-hosted image uploader (nginx + php-fpm), ZNC and an Irc Bot. You'd be surprised by how few resources nginx (and similiar, like lighttpd) uses.
