I've done both.  Both work fine.

If you want a good, cost effective, dedicated virtual server solution, check 
out what we're doing at NeverBlock [ http://www.neverblock.com/ ] (the site 
is ugly now, we're a young company and I am working on it).  We've been 
running some mission-critical customers stuff for over a year now.

I'm one of the owners of the company.  We are about to add some more hardware 
with some greatly expanded and enhanced capabilities, plus a significant 
performance boost compared to our existing systems.  We are still a very 
young company but we are growing.
