Default Ventures Online verses Rack Shack?

We have a decent sized board(usually over 50 members online) and we are now needing a new host. We're currently on Ventures Online(on a ded. server) and have had 91 memory outages last month and because of funding, we can't really upgrade. We are seriously considering a similarly priced package with RackShack. I realize that one of the main differences is managed verses unmanaged. What are the advantages/disadvantages to making such a switch? Any info you guys can share that will help us that will help us out?

We've already moved once before, so that isn't a biggie.

Ummm, we have ensim at VO, too.

I've used both and prefer cpanel, but it doesn't really matter since I do most stuff via SSH.

My experience is that the PLESK boxes are MUCH less resource intense and memory hungry than ENSIM boxes - especially for running forums. Have a look at your server loads...

50 users online on a dedicated server and you're still running out of memory? That's strange... you may need to tweak your server first before upgrading hardware. Ask this question at the vB.com server forum for advice.

I have a Ventures account and I also have one on Eniki. I have pretty much all I need on Eniki. I am thinking of taking my other site over to Eniki. I have not had a problem with them in the month I have been with them so far. I have the same control panel that I have on Ventires and more. I pay $25 a month on Ventire and $5 a month on Eniki. Here are the $5 plan options

300MB/Webspace
3GB/Bandwidth
Fast Linux Servers
Site Control Panel
Web Site Statistics
IMAP, Pop3, SMTP, WebMail
PHP, CGI, Perl, SSI, Front Page
PhpMyAdmin
Unlimited MYSQL Databases
Unlimited Domain Add-Ons
Unlimited Sub-domains
Unlimited E-mails
24/7 FTP Access
Custom Error Pages
No Set-up Fees

There are three other plans also. This is the lowest priced plann. You can check them out at:

Personally, although I prefer CPanel, I find Ensim is not that bad

I would recommend that unless you really know how to run, maintain and update a server of your own, you stick with managed
