[Coda]

Well, the thing is, from the plan we have (virtual private server) there's really only one upgrade, and that's to a real dedicated server. That's as big of a leap as the upgrade we already made from shared hosting to a VPS.

We don't have the dedicated server upgrade planned for quite a while. There's still a lot we can do with the setup we have now, and most of the performance issues we're seeing can be addressed in code. (The nightly lag burst at 4AM EST is an exception; the nightly backup HAS to bring the site down to work.)
