See http://inmotion.net/dedicated_servers.html . Most hosts I've see that charge less than $200 a month for a dedicated server either use crappy generic servers, or make you pay for extras like cPanel, OS installation, support, etc. If you want reliable dedicated hosting, you’d need to expect to pay a little bit more.

Only I think gzip was replaced with mod_deflate. At the time I wrote this post I was on Apache 1, but this would apply to Apache 2 as well. Only I think gzip was replaced with mod_deflate.

Gzip, while it will often help, also takes tons of CPU horses. So on a busy server, this could end up being a real problem. Likewise, basic optimization of MySQL and Apache will help you, but out of the box configs are usually enough for average sites. However if you have permissions to optiize httpd.conf or my.cnf, chances are you have enough traffic to justify significant boosts. Lately, I've taken more of the approach of optimizing httpd requests as well as third party sources. Javascript files can be compressed by removing whitespace. CSS can also be streamlined in this way, though you may want to hack around more in that for the future so this might not be the best solution. If you run a WordPress blog, having WP-Cache is going to do crazy amounts for speed. In fact, any way you can cache stuff on the server end, is usually a good bet. Great write up, though!
