Interesting. I wonder how secure VPS is. Does it truly eliminate the
problems related to share hosting, like session access, etc.? And
interesting that they use RAID 1, not RAID 5.

If I were you, I'd start out with a virtual root system with a  
hosting company that can scale you up quickly (within days), to  
bigger and better hardware.  I've had my eye on these guys for a  
while: http://www.linode.com/ although mediatemple.net (and nearly  
everyone else for that matter) is offering VPS.

At least with this option you can get your idea up and running, even  
paying for multiple vps accounts and running them as distributed  
servers, or database master/slave machines, or reverse proxy servers,  
etc.. and not kill yourself with financing it all.
