I ran a vB4 site on a dedicated server for years but "downgraded" to a VPS when I went to vB6. My dedicated was old and overpriced, my VPS is about 1/3 the cost for a server with plenty of power. The limited bandwidth that comes with a VPS was a concern, but I have a medium high-end plan that gives me plenty of bandwidth.
I have one as well, and I spend a little more for a bigger VPS to give me plenty to work with. I run multiple websites, so I need plenty of resources.

Ten years ago, dedicated was the way to go. It was the only way to handle a medium—or above-sized forum and the high price was OK because it came with 24/7 dedicated live "tech on the phone" tech support and a few other perks. Now, those perks are gone, and any new dedicated setup is very overpriced. The nice part about VPS is that if I ever need more horsepower, I can add cores, memory, or bandwidth to meet my needs. My old 2-core dedicated server wasn't flexible at all.Check out my other forum:
