Shared hosting is for mugs
Why wouldn't you want control ? Why wouldn't you want to know how loaded the server is ? When the monthly outlay of a decent dedicated server is less than a slab of beer there is no reason to have shared hosting. We're not talking about a little family business here with little or no traffic to a business website, we're talking about adult webmasters where traffic is currency and traffic leads to load.
What happens in the shared hosting solution when one customer overloads the rest ? Your sites slow down, you're dependent on someone else to fix it. At least you can be in control of this stuff with your own box.
Then what if you want a mod to PHP or Apache ? What if you want imagemagick installed ? How about flvtool or MP4box ? If you want flexibility and responsiveness shared hosting wont give you that.
