Hey everyone, I'm looking for some input.

I mostly run the maintainence side of my friends gaming forum. Recently, there have been server issues, since it's under a shared hosting account. The forum itself utilizes roughly 15-20 GB Bandwidth per a month and 200-300 MB Space. The staff was thinking of looking into a dedicated server, but I think it might be a bit too much resource wise and cost wise. So I'm wondering if a VPS is a good solution or if it's best for them to just find a new provider and get a shared hosting account? At the moment, I believe about 35 users visit daily.. but there has been a peak to 100 per a day.

The current server they are on, which provided by thrillinghill is always going down. So there is LOT's of downtime and I think they are looking for a solution not for the present time, but mabye towards the future too.

I know the prices of dedicated servers, however I'm not sure what price ranges VPS hosting would be roughly at?

Hope someone can shed some light.

Thanks.
