+++ on VPS. I went that route almost ten years ago and can't imagine using shared hosting again. Of course, you need to be comfortable managing a server but there are a lot of control panels available that (more or less) do a half-way decent job. (Personally, I avoid them, though) Having a VPS means installing what you need, when you need it, without a lot of useless junk that's never used except by someone exploiting some security hole. And you can also install Cake globally (eg. in /usr/share/php, /var/lib/php, etc.) and create symlinks so as to quickly switch between Cake versions. I'll recommend johncompanies.com, which was one of the first to offer VPS in the US. Their support is EXCELLENT. They obviously know what they're doing and are prompt (REALLY prompt) and pleasant to deal with. They didn't just jump on the VPS bandwagon last month. They also run rsync.net for offsite backups. Also, A2Hosting.com has some pretty decent VPS packages. I've currently got 5 servers between those two, running between one and eight sites on each. I might check out linode.com, though, for my next server (good to spread things around a bit).
