why is it not the case? something special about VS's that stops them getting
hits? You get a customer who's virtual hosting account gets 5gb a month and
he buys a VS he's still doing 5gb a month or am I missing something here?

trust me these are not large customers - our large customers get 1500+ an
hour - here is last weeks hits for what we would class an average to high
customer
(who also runs a medium size mysql database)
Overall Accesses (hits) 84,555
Bytes 477,212,020
Visits 13,288
we also have those sites getting less than 100 a month usually these
sites don't renew anywhere they just go offline when there year is up

And rightly so..10 VS's 'could' be too many - we have a server with just 8
virtual accounts, all together the server pushes out over 80gig - and a mix
of applications perl/mysql/etc I wouldn't want a thousand of these on one
server - we tend to measure our servers on traffic throughput because we
have found it pretty much directly relates to cpu if you carefully
mix/juggle your app sites with your low hit html sites - and believe me we
don't run windows and we do have wasted cpu to cover the rush hour
I would suggest it depends who your target market is - I certainly wouldn't
want
1500 of our average sites on one server - the 9am e-mail pick-up rush would
be real fun if we did
