I have been an ASO customer for several years now and Iove their customer service but am not impressed with other aspects. I'm on a $50 VPS for one of my sites that seems to run very slow and will often times shut down. I'm told I'm using too many resources.

My other forum is on a shared server that I pay $20 / month for with similar users online stats to the VPS and now I'm told I'm using too many resources there as well and they want me to switch to a VPS. The thing is this forum runs significantly faster on the shared server than my site on the VPS.

If I have to pay $100 for two VPSs with ASO would I just be better off getting a dedicated server and running two forums there?

Who are you using and what are your thoughts?

PS: Interesting post I just stumbled across in regards to someone in a similar situation

it's a little baffling how some hosts can suddenly say a site is taking up too much server resources when it's been running smoothly for a while. Make sure all your scripts are up to date and not corrupted...

1&1 is my host provider. I have no complaints at all with 1&1. Any and every thing I need to support my vB forum, platform wise, is part of the 1&1 Professional package I have. They have a default 100MB maximum MySQL database size, though. You either would need to store your forum images in the file system or pay a bit more and have 1&1 bump up your MySQL database maximum size.

I am somewhat scary when comes to words like unmetered or unlimited LOL. Those peeps are often over sellers. But after doing a google search on them, they have tons of positive reviews.
