One of our early customers is posting about decisions and lessons learned while running their startup – ProductCritic. The first post talks about choosing a VPS over a dedicated server.

But one of the greatest reasons to use a VPS is because it allows you to grow your hardware needs as your site grows. Instead of investing thousands into your own dedicated server and that is basically just going to sit idle 99% of the time you rent a slice of the size needed for your site. This is less expensive, more flexible and very cost effective. Zero upfront costs and very low monthly costs.
