Some hosting companies will offer VPS and then artificially enduce problems to convince you to get a dedicated plan. Is your host a trusted host?
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.
