Make Money?

Our sys admin needs to travel a lot this year so we may be on the hunt for someone to take over.....
We are getting close to having 1,000 registered members on-line at peak times
Run PHP Ads New
Use a few VB plug ins (and will want to use more in future)
We have a few choices..
1) Train someone to use the existing set up (however we still haven't found a server co we like working with, we keep finding their service unsatisfactory and have moved 3 times and have plans to move again...)
2) Hire someone that does a lot of this sort of thing and have them do the server install fresh- and make sure that we have all the passwords, own the server and have back ups sent somewhere that that they don't control. (for security of the forum)
Really what I am wondering is - can we expect a sys admin to own problems on a server they had no hand in configuring, with a server company they may not have prior experience with?
Thanks in advance for your vote and look forward to your comments.
