Okay, my board has grown, and grown. It uses about twice the bandwidth of most boards it's size because we have lots of images, and we allow spam in some forums, and other reasons.

We recently hit the cealing with our current host, and we've had other issues with them as well. We need to move to a better, bigger host and I thought this would be the prefect place to ask for recommendations and suggestions.

That really only leaves room for 45/50~ ish a month, which won't be dedicated.

you might be able to swing VPS. But if you really want a dedicated server they start around 100 a month.

Ah right so they are different....i actually thought they were 2 different names for the same thing lol...Oh well, I am using a VDS atm, seems ok but you do still get issues as it is a shared server, although not as many on it as a normal shared hosting.....

I have had probs of late with other sites on the server using too many resources, this has but up my server load to sommat like 15.00% - 20.00% my host support is very good and they found a couple of sites on the server using too many resources...Issue hopefully resoloved when the said sites upgrade.....

I would reccomend westhost.com or hostgator.com if your UK based then i would reccomend http://heartinternet.co.uk/

Most of the time they are still oversold, but you have control over your own space so things are slightly better.

I still think i need to go fully dedicated though....I am just trying to figure out/justify the $149.99 per month out of my own pocket, although i can recopu some of it back by reselling some of it
