Thanks for the input guys.....

This week was the last straw - my original hosting company whut down my database again for too many queries (over 50,000) that happened on Saturday and I emailed tech support numerous times with no results. I called and was on hold for almost an hour and figures I was at work at the firehouse and I got a fire call and had to hang up so then I called back again and again ON HOLD AGAIN for almost an hour and then another fire call (just wasnt my day) - after everything was said and done, my forum was down for almost 15 hours and I cant tell you how many database error emails I had to delete from my inbox (had to be close to 800).

They finally got it back up and then the same hting happened on Monday - down again.

I ended up contacting hostican and went with a VPS - I actually have 5 personal web sites and only one is a very busy forum so they said a VPS could more than handle my needs and they transferred all files and databases over for me for no extra charge plus they place no limit on DB queries. This company did offer virtuozzo and root access (thanks for that input edge)

My DNS has finally been finalized and I have already heard numerous compliments form forum members that the forum is running much much better.

Now I just have to familiarize myself with this new VPS system and how everything works. and we are still trying to figure out why one of my databases (not a forum) will nto work properly after everything was mitigated over.

Thanks again for honest input

Good luck man.

TMS...

Question on that... I originally bought my domains via my original hosting company - I did log in to the tucows system to change the DNS (All done) - question is... whay do I need to do about the domain names themselves now? Do I transfer them over to the company where I purchased the VPS from?
