There's so much variance on a single host (depending on your neighbors on the server that you occupy) that metrics like this should be taken with a grain of salt.

That said, I'm not sure that someone who wants to squeeze out every bit of performance will be using a shared host, anyways.

Hey guys, OP here. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions would be amazing. I think I need to come up with a much better way to present the results... so don't hold back :)

Is it possible to benchmark webfaction(https://www.webfaction.com)?

I'd like to see Rackspace and AWS thrown into the VPS stats.

    That's a really good idea! AWS is a no-brainer... but I might have to wait on the $300 Rackspace account until more people show an interest ;)
