Not sure what to say here. I have a VPS and they have allready tried pushing me into getting a dedi. ( At this point I can not afford it yet) Not with a baby on the way.
I know why they are doing this but I won't say anything since I plan on doing this myself real soon to sell dedis.
But down time is a hard thing for anybody. Wish you the best of luck and I hope everything works out and your views can change on surpass.
