Will moving to a dedicated virtual host from a shared hosting improve my site performance?

my site performance is a bit sluggish currently on a shared hosting (Media temple). I’m wondering if dedicated-virtual will be faster.

Chosen Answer:

Yes but only if your web hosting service provider does not cheat you.

    Isn’t dedicated virtual the same as shared? In each case you share a server with other people.

    Media Temple is nice…but it’s not amazing. Personally, I think their (dv) hosting is TOO expensive ($40-$50 is just too much). And you don’t get that much. I left them a while ago.

    You want quality hosting…for less than $30 a month?….better than dv?

    What you need is semi-dedicated hosting. JaguarPC currently offers the best hosting you can buy….it’s like dedicated hosting but it’s all managed like shared hosting! They put you on a server with a lot less people, meaning you can hog the CPU resources, your site will load faster, you get unlimited disk space, and massive amounts of bandwidth!

    Here’s a direct link for you —— I strongly suggest it!

    well yes for sure if u move to a vps it will imporve ur site performance in case that u got a good vps for sure cuz on shared hosting ur sharing the server resources with 100 ppl but on vps ur sharing with 10 so thats different and on vps u got a big limit on cpu load not like on shared hosting ur not able to load more then 15% for more then 1 mins
    i think if u got a good traffic site u should move it to a vps and here that will help u with offers and prices http://www.hostsgate.com choise top 10 vps and check the top 10 companies and read there info and what the offer u
