Looking for new vBulletin host
 

Hey Guys,

I have been hosting vBulletin on a shared server up until now, however am now experiencing a great deal of database crashes a day due to the popularity of the forum.

The crashes are occuring due to my account on the shared server being permitted to have only 35 active simultaneous MySQL queries.

My host has said I likely need a dedicated server, but at $140 a month, this is way out of my price range unfortunately!

Can anyone else suggest what I can do? Do I definitly need a dedicated, or would a VPS suffice, and possibly be cheaper?

As an example of the stats of my forum, here is a copy of the stats as they are right now:

Currently Active Users: 510 (356 members and 154 guests) Threads: 3,351, Posts: 259,618, Members: 1,695

However, as the site is about a TV show, on show days the amount of visitors can hit 1,650.

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give, and if you can recommend any hosts please feel free :)
