Can anyone help suggest what type of hosting capacity I should look for in a web host?
The activity on my web site is currently:
Sessions/visitors per day: 2,000-2,500
Pageviews per day: 15,000
Bytes transferred per day 270 MB
My forums have about 20,000 posts.
Usually within a 90 minute span there are about 100 to 150 forum visitors. High was 226.
Currently I am getting a MySQL error of too many connections, or a 504 time out error.
I use Verio as my host and I have their top shared hosting plan which is 1000 GB monthly data transfer and 40 GB disk space. Their tech support is suggesting I switch to a VPS to combat this issue.
I have very little expertise concerning servers and hosting. All I really can do is upload files via FTP to keep my site updated. Please dummy down your replies.
Thanks
