There's a lot that goes into it, that someone who's a network admin may be able to explain better but....
You may have a dedicated "virtual server" which uses something like VMWare to create virtual boxes, isolated instances of the operating system, on the same machine. Each network card can support up to 5 ip's and the physical box can support up to 5 network cards (this is all according to Micro$oft, Linux may be different. There's a ceiling on how many virtual instances you can create based on the amount of memory in the box. As this ceiling gets close performance can degrade.

Thanks. Are these "USING HOST HEADERS" are common practice as a hosting company ? My server is dedicated server...not shared hosting. Are these host headers caused the slowness ? If yes.. then...what should I complain to the hosting company ?
