Well, have a colocated server costs around $200 per month. Shared hosting is the solution for 95% of all websites. I don't think we're busy enough to warrant colocating a server and I doubt that someone would want to pick up the tab every month for that. I know that right now it isn't in the cards for me, anyway.
As for the server being rebooted it's actually a 'good' thing. The techs are noticing that someone is hammering the cpu (basically, hogging resources) and they are rebooting the server to kill the script. Depending on the speed of the box's processor and how many sites are running it can take quite awhile to reboot.
The reason that the messages aren't being marked as new is that the server purges the temporary tables and the sessions are stored for the most part in temp tables.
