It should be also noted that hosting reviews can tell you much about a host, its activity and reputation among customers. Before making any order study company’s reviews attentively.

My current host just suspended my account due to CPU over usage.
I have a shared hosting plan, and during the last month I had ~100,000 visitors and ~200,000 page views.
My site runs on WordPress.

I was wondering, is it the time to move to dedicated hosting? Or can I do something to reduce the load?

If it is time to move to dedicated hosting, what machine would you recommend on (CPU? RAM?)?
Which hosting company?

Appreciate any advice,
Microsheep

Lol, that actually seems like a good company, but the way you wrote your rec, it makes it seem like you are advertising for them.

Hey you are just like me, I started programming when i was 10 and then progressed to css/xhtml. And mastered them. Now i am teen . I choosed php over c++,ASP, and some other wierd stuff. Once you learn any of these other becomes easy since all of them has similar functions and similar syntax. Like actions script 1,2. JavaScript, PHP they got almost same syntax.
Oh one more thing i have reliazed is that you don’t have to remember everything, i was 15 when i first time i reliazed that humans have limited brain. I completed my Physic GCSe book Then when i completed to Chemistry book and look back on Physic That look totally strange person to me. GCSE is college level book and yes i fully understood them when i was 14. Cool huh. SO therefore there is no reason to be ashamed of Just get a cheet sheet in which you will find complete list of functions with syntax . It ususal to forget one programming after using other one for several years. Got it. Hope u liked my wisdom. Hey also since i have experince in physichs i almost made physic engine for myself in summer vacation, but then school started and i had to forget all the information i had learned and discovered, i am sorry on that next i will make sure i write it in a human language so i can progress from there not from a scratch.

After using several hosting companies I found that HostGator has treated me pretty well. as with any host there are sure to be some issues along the way and I had one also. They took care of the issue in a very timely manner. Found them from this site. HostingIncentive

Support is very, very important. It’s worth paying more for full time, good support. On my site, with my previous host, for several days my site was down with a “Account Suspended” message suggesting I hadn’t paid my bill. Not true, and the site had actually been hacked. The host had discontinued there telephone support, had no support ticket system, and didn’t answer any of the hundreds of emails I sent them until three days had passed. Not even a courtesy one saying they’d received my email, what the problem was, and that it was being worked on. I didn’t send all the emails at once of course, only started doing it after no response several hours after the first. That’s why they’re my previous host.

Really, I’m only talking about delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later you’ll need to upgrade. Try using multiple domains on a reseller account for more resources than on a regular shared hosting plan. Much cheaper than having your own server.

But yeah, the stats report that shut me down showed usage/duration file by file, so it should be a sound strategy. How sound is tough to measure, though, because we don’t normally get access to usage reports, unless we go over.
