When you pay $x you can expect ~$x worth of CPU. When the host you're with sells very cheap hosting (high space and data transfer allowances), one place where they can reduce the costs without it being easily seen by potential customers is the CPU limitation.
Anyway, the more you pay, the more percents of CPU power you can be allowed to use. It's no guarantee, but it's a reasonably safe bet IMO.
Well that depends, go to a host that doesn't run off a Dedicated Celeron or P4 box and you'll be good!

go to ev1servers.net, ev1.net, serverprovider.com or isprime.com and choose a dedicated server or vps (vpn) hosting.
you gotta test it. usually vps hosting is much cheaper but maybe its not enough for you. or go to google or yahoo and type in dedicated server or shared hosting or vps hosting or vpn host or vps host and such.

Basically - go with a better host, that doesn't oversell as much. Oversellers usually have more customers on the 1 server because they can fit them in.
IMO - small hosts are better, they actually care for your service, rather than something like dreamhost, with their 20GB space, 1TB bandwidth for $8 a month, probably have thousands of clients for that plan alone, and don't honestly care if 1 guy quits because they have so many left.
Choose carefully, research helps, spend some time choosing as well.Last edited by bear; 09-01-2006 at 09:05 AM.

The negative side being - if you chose to use all your space, you wont be able to. Not only that but the possibility of overloaded servers, high CPU loads, potential downtime, and if the host is stupid - lots of clients and very little support hours -> long response times.
Overselling is a bad practice, you never know when the client will choose to use all their allotted quota, overloading servers to their breaking point makes it unstable, any downtime is bad downtime, especially if it was caused from the server being overloaded due to overselling.
Most hosts oversell, but only some oversell in moderation, which is OK.Recommended: Stablehost, Hivelocity, Fused
