RickJ,

I can't give you advice on the dedicated plan, but I learned you can use the new Reseller program to save a little money. I had asked about multiple sites in this thread:

Even thought it's called a "Reseller" program, I guess there is no issue with, in a sense, selling the plans to yourself. One difference is you don't get the free add-on domain under a Reseller Shuttle plan like you do under the normal Shuttle plan. Another difference is you only get the "Free Domain for Life" on the first 3 domains. See:

One thing about the Dedicated plan, for me anyway, is the seemingly long list of add-on costs. It seems hard to add up how much things would really cost each month.

Like RickJ, I'd be curious to know from some on the Dedicated plan, what their opinion is on when might be a good time to switch to a Dedicated plan. I would quess either if you have quite a few domains, need a lot of bandwidth, or want full control over the software on the server.

Yeah, RickJ. I want to know too. Did you ever go for the dedicated plan? I'm seriously considering go that way, and it would be great to get some more insights to someone that's already made the transition.
