Speed on shared hosting?

[mooty]

What sort of speeds should I be getting?

And how much is it likely to fluctuate? and Is it suitable to host a medium sized community, ~15 people online at all times?

And what type of stuff your site uses, and so on.

mostly hostgator servers are Fast, and they do monitor it for performance and take care of any user causing slow downs.
