I do think the faster load times are the biggest reason for the improved sales.

This is a managed box with the same host I was using for virtual. I have no experience with managing Linux servers, nor do I have the time or desire to learn. They handle backups as part of the pkg. I figure that the additional sales have already paid for the setup fees on the new box, and the monthly charge is only $50 more than my virtual plan. There is lots of cheaper hosting out there, but you get what you pay for.

I have just 6 domains on that box, and one is still in the development stage, should do the job for me for some time to come. Reselling hosting isn't something I've even considered, not really interested in having anyone elses stuff on my box. That's why I switched from virtual hosting.
