I think what you really need is a dedicated machine. The specs of your current machine look quite nice though I'm guessing they are shared between other users on the machine.

Also, you really should be updating the OS :-) CentOS 4 is quite old.

I think IBM servers are the best!

Also I forgot go to say good luck with the new server, there are always teething problems but keep working at it and you will get through it

Well done on the reaching 1m page views per month. VPS does provide a value for money solution, but a dedicated machine is needed at those volumes.

@aloy
i had tried RZ also, it is cheap, but i still annoyed by the incoming email spam activity. or maybe it because i am not set the spamassassin correctly.

@everton
my suggestion is there is no system that 100% run smoothly, so try to reach a good data center and an easy supporting contact for fast fixing problem.

Wow scary. This is why it is recommended to backup everything you have.

@SEO Africa

Are you asking if I have enough traffic ot cover the cost? Yes, which is one of the reasons I want to switch as I'm convinced I'm losing enough traffic each month to pay for the switch.

New server is in place and is looking good so far

You get what you pay for unfortunately. The sheer volumes of traffic should somehow be able to monetize some capital to offset costs?

The specs are not bad at all. I was just looking at the specs of the dedicated server that Ghacks is running on:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Dual Core
4 GB DDR2
2 x 400 GB SATA II (Software RAID 1)

Maybe the problem is not caused by the server's hardware but by other factors, e.g. configuration, software installed and running, provider's backbone.

If you got root access you could run a few basic commands like "top" or "netstat" to find out more about the resource usage.

I personally would not say that a dedicated server running the three sites would need more than 4 GB of RAM. More is better of course but 4 Gigabytes should be sufficient. I would definitely take a look at the cpu and get a modern Intel or AMD cpu instead if you change servers.
