something has gone wrong today with my VPS box though.. i dunno what the issue is, but i have been talking with them for about an hour waiting for them to fix it.. in reality the best solution would be a dedicated server.. which would run $150+ a month..
this should just be a fluke, the new server has been running very well since the switch (IMO), so hopefully they can get it fixed sooner than later..
sorry.. its not like we got hit hard today or anything, its just something went wrong with the server i'm guessing..
