WordPress Single server for WordPress

[Shawn Gossman]

How do you feel about using a single dedicated server (hosted of course) or VPS for one WordPress blog?

Do you think this would increase the speed and performance of the blog versus using a server to host several different websites/blogs/forums as most people do?

Have any of you done this and if so, how was it? Did you notice anything different about it?

I think a single dedicated server for a blog is too much. Unless the amount of traffic is really demanding it.
I would put it on a VPS over a shared hosting to improve speed.

I have a bunch of my sites on a single VPS, they all work fine (I barely use 3% of it's capacity). A VPS for a single blog would be an overkill as well
if the blog is not really-really busy.

I'm the same way. A bunch of sites on one VPS and it's worked well for me for the past 15+ years.

I do have a VPS MySQL server as well.
