VPS is STILL considered as shared virtual private hosting so it's not really a good idea to go for. I never ever had such big issues while I was on shared hosting until I've moved to VPS. I highly recommend you to get any of the dedicated plans by Liquid Web. At least, that's where I got my dedicated a couple of days ago and I gotta say that I'm really impressed with the change so far. Your forum is definitely huge as it is already so you must get a dedicated one. The webmaster series will do just fine. ;]

Wholeheartedly agree with the liquidweb sentiment... Been there for 4 years now and wouldn't use another host if you paid me.

What I did was went VPS1 then to VPS2 when I outgrew it, and since I was in the same datacentre, when I outgrew the VPS2 and had to go to dedicated, all the upgrades were seamless and I suffered no downtime.

Liquidweb all the way!
