Then again, if Suzie is making at least some money off of her site then perhaps a dedicated site would be fantastic choice for her. (in other topic) but Myke here doesn't sound like he is in that position.
This is correct. We're a small/modest community when it comes to size, so making any kind of money doesn't even factor into the equation. Going to a dedicated server seems like it's overkill for me, especially considering our small-ish database.
But again, I don't know enough about what real resources I require of a host to be able to shop or decide objectively and wisely. Maybe we do need a dedicated solution? Or maybe there are better shared host providers out there?
Thanks for your replies so far.
At this stage, I think I'm inclined to upgrade to the latest ubb.t version and see how that goes.
