I thought about it but my forum is getting the hit for the last couple months. Registrations , post , thread numbers , daily hits increased a lot and i dont want to change a server or a hosting for another year at least.

Exactly i never had dedicated before therefore i am not sure which one to go with. My main concern is server must be affordable and easy to use (probably have cpanel installed) because i already spend a lot of hours by dealing with the board and i dont want to spend extra hour for managing the server.

I found the most affordable place to be 1and1.com . been on them for 12 days right now. so far so good. speed is very good and so far they have everything I need. rob

I am pretty happy with asmallorange but their dedicated plans are all sold out and they are a little bit expensive for me.
