Blimey. I have the same spec (albeit EC2 instance), which is hosting 6 drupal sites, and can serve pages in under 1s with 50 concurrent users with LOTS of modules. erm, if i were a betting man, i would question what they are saying, against what you are seeing...<br>
<br>i dont use these guys anymore, but their vps is excellent. <a href="http://www.bytemark.co.uk">www.bytemark.co.uk</a><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 2:58 PM, Daniel Carrera <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:daniel.carrera@theingots.org">daniel.carrera@theingots.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The host is <a href="http://unitedhosting.co.uk" target="_blank">unitedhosting.co.uk</a> which stands out because they do not over-sell the system resources like most shared hosts do (and hence, UH costs more too). I don't know how many users per box. They say that it's variable.<br>

Do you have any specs re your hosting environment? i'd check fundamentals (cpu, ram, disk, other customers on the same box) before installing more modules.<br>
