Tech support is included. Plesk GUI. I know how to use SSH but it's really not necessary. I've been on the front page of Digg and no problem at all. It's noob-friendly (not really idiot proof though) and I pay 50$ a month (I'm in Europe, it's even cheaper now ;)) and it's paid by one single adsense. I agree with D14BL0, it really depends on your needs. If your blog/website becomes very popular, there are some chance you might get kicked out of your shared-hosting by your host. And the VPN solution might be the one. I have a (dv) from Mediatemple, and it comes pre-installed with everything (they even update your server automatically if you want) . Tech support is included.

I run Wordpress on my shared server. And that's about it. I don't need streaming media or anything fancy like that. Hell, the fanciest thing on my blog is some AJAX in the comments, and that's about it. It depends on your needs, more than your technical skill, in my opinion. I mean, I <i>can</i> SSH and do things the old fashioned way, but I have no need for all that, so I can deal with using a GUI for everything.
