The problem is that the answer is different for each and every site. There are many variables that have to be considered. Chief amongst them are: how much traffic do you receive, and what are the users doing on the site? Users viewing static html are going to cause much less load on a server than users accessing database heavy sites or streaming audio and video. What is really comes does to is what quality of service you wish to provide to your users. How well is your site performing? If it is getting bogged down, or if it is getting suspended by your shared provider, it is time to upgrade in order to provide the best possible experience.

Doubt any of the articles I write on my main site is really ever going to hit Digg (it’s not about tech stuff for a start ;D) but I am supposedly pulling in 300 uniques a day. I’m not sure how much to trust the stats script to be honest, as I run 3, and each say slightly different things (concurring to the 300/average day) but am not sure how many are just crawlers?

Thanks to the posters above for the rough indicator (1500/day) If (and I’m not sure I really like it to) the site ever becomes that big, I will be asking my current host to help me with setting up a dedicated server, as they *do* know what they’re doing.

On another note, I don’t have any ads on my sites. So no ad revenue at all as an incentive.

I was curious how long I would be able to get away with shared hosting myself. So far I have nothing bad to say about my host. I've been lucky, it looks like I picked a good one. My friend J.D.'s site got hit by a flood of traffic after a Dutch paper's web presence featured his site. He got shut down, but he got 4-5k uniques that day, and at peak was probably seeing about 500 concurrent visitors. Nicely, he held on to a lot of that traffic and saw his average daily uniques just about double, and he kept them because his traffic never did go back down to it's previous levels. From what it sounds like, if you are seeing less than 1500 uniques a day average, shared might be all you'll ever need. If you have a good shared host you certainly can't beat the price. If you're pulling 3000 uniques a day, I don't see a problem paying for dedicated because your monthly ad revenue is probably pretty good at that point.

He got shut down, but he got 4-5k uniques that day, and at peak was probably seeing about 500 concurrent visitors. Nicely, he held on to a lot of that traffic and saw his average daily uniques just about double, and he kept them because his traffic never did go back down to it's previous levels.
