advise on shared vs. VPS? · **Released**: 07-07-2007

I currently use Westhost as my hosting company. While they were good at first, now I am unhappy with them. They disabled my site because I was using like "30%" of the resources. They did send warnings out and I did respond and the guy on the phone said it was faulty s/w and reset my warning things. Two days later, they disabled my site. I got them to turn it back on so "I can research the matter".

Here are my specs:
- vBulletin 3.6.7
- about 10 mods (like fav smilies and little things like that. I did disable the vBShout mod).
- Members: 190
- Threads: 4,916
- Posts: 83,286
- about 15 to 20 members on at any given time
- about 50 members visited in a single day
- SQL DB size is about 50MB

Current server loads:
241.54/8000 MB (disk space)
3707.4/153600 MB (bandwidth)

You see, it isn't a big site at all, but Westhost is trying to get me to go to a dedicated server, which is over $100 a month.

I had GoDaddy at first, which was absolutely horrible, now Westhost...both shared plans...

Am I really torquing the servers that much? Or am I striking out with bad companies that over sell.

Please, someone give me some advise on what I should do... and any reco's? I was looking at Knownhost.com for their VPS...not to expensive...(the $20/ month one). I am not looking to spend more than $25 a month anyways... but I am open to suggestions...

Dreamhost takes the cake on a security issue

Shoutbox will rip any shared hosting apart. With that off you will probally not violate their usage.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
