I have nothing to back this up but this is the "feeling" I get, as everytime I speak to support the outages are caused by a different reason. So far we have had the following:
- General volume of views
- More than 500k rows in the vbulletin "post" table

- MySQL not optimised
- Too many connections to the db
- To many HTTP processes
- An single IP making too many connections (this IP is now firewalled out on the hardware firewall)
- Insert random reason here
If the reason was constant I would be more inclined to believe them, but it isnt.
I intend to really start marketing my site in the next few months, so I do intend to go dedicated however the chances are it won't be with this host.
