The next thing that occurs is your server starts to slow down, and the other sites hoI've thought about this question many times as well when trying to decide between various dedicated server specs. This should be all based on the intended use of the server. Is it being used for hosting clients? Is it being used to host your own sites? Do any of the sites being hosted have the potential for using large amounts of CPU, or perhaps bandwidth? These are the types of questions you should be asking yourself when deciding which server you should select. For example, if you're using your server to host an image hosting or file hosting website, then those are known to grow very quickly. Within a few days your hard drive space, and bandwidth being transferred can literally go through the roof.

It's usually best to try for a medium. Not too much and not too little. It doesn't make sense spending $300/month for a server and your hosting a site that transfers little to no bandwidth, and doesn't use much of the resources. If that's the case then you should consider a Virtual Private Server rather than a dedicated server. On the other hand if you're going to be hosting multiple active websites then by all means choose a server that's good from the start that exceeds your current needs which will allow it to grow without issues.
