Hi everyone,
I have followed this forum for a couple of years but have never joined. Now, I really could use the advice.
I am in a hosting predicament that I don't know how to get out of. I run a fairly popular website that averages between 2000-4000 visitors per day. I received an e-mail from my host today that they can no longer support us on shared hosting because of CPU [we run WordPress as our interface + have a steady number of daily hits]. Their ultimatum is to move to a dedicated server or close down.
I am a housewife, I haven't got much disposable income and I don't think I can afford a dedicated server. I don't want to move to another shared host and have this problem again, either.
I just wanted to know what the best solution would be to solve the issue? If I had to move to a dedicated server, I'd be scrimping & saving every month, whereas right now I thought I was 'safe' having bought a two year hosting plan. I'd have to ask my visitors for donations nearly every week just to scrape by.
Their dedicated plans start at $99 which is ridiculously high for me. I was thinking of moving elsewhere, I just don't know what to do and your help would be much appreciated.
One thing I was looking at was Media Temple, they seem to be respectable but I'm not sure. Your advice on them?
