Help with what type of hosting I will need please

[gruzd]

Hi all, I'm a budding website owner looking for advice on what will suit my needs over the next year. I have at most a few hundred visitors a day now, but things will be growing. Here are a few details:

Expected needs over next year:
1) from 2000-10000 visitors a day
2) Need managed services (Shared hosting or managed VPS/Server)

Conditions:
1) mix of static and wordpress
2) wordpress theme is quite light on needs (see below)


*Wordpress details:
1) lightweight theme
2) Removed as many database calls as possible (comments, date, author, blog name etc are removed. Just the post title and post contents are retrieved during the loop) The sidebar is one text widget with hand placed links.
3) No comments, pingbacks, or logged in users besides myself
4) ~40 custom added if-else-ifelse statement per page load
5) Minimal graphics - ~30KB, most of which is reused in theme on each page - maybe 15KB unique on some pages
6) No fancy widgets, flash chat, or anything similar
7) minimal plugins - all in one seo, Pagebar2, Google XML Sitemaps, WordPress Database Backup.

I am moving from my current host as I am not satisfied. Will a decent shared hosting fit my needs? Would I be better off with a VPS?

Anyone run a similar situation with shared hosting care to share their experience? How many visitors a day to your wordpress sites and which host?

Anything else you can think of, please let me know.

Think a VPS deal is always better to have but still you may use feature-rich shared plan. So I'd recommend you services from globaltap.com, they provide shared as well as VPS deals, and even you start from shared service, you will be able to upgrade it with time.

I am sure that VPS hosting would be the best solution for your project. As for recommendation, have a look at serverpoint.com Linux and Windows VPS hosting plans. This company is able to suit you down to the ground.

You can also but dedicated server solution in order to avoid future problems with the transfer. Have a look at hqhost.net, as they start offering dedis from $99 dollars. This is US-based company which has been in web hosting business since 2001, as a matter of fact you can trust it.

Try looking up glowhost.com - this company is treally great provider for such requirements, They offer great hosting for reasonable price, an moreover, they are now offering a great three months by the price of one with the copupon code 2FREEMONTHS.

webhostingbuzz.com and their VPS may be really cool for your needs. They are now offering really good conditions for hosting on varoius plans, which are stable and affordable by price.

I think MMhosting.com would suit you well They offer large shared accounts for comparably cheap price, enabling you to host large sutes with great performance.

Amomg all suggested companies webhostingbuzz.com appear to be most suitable, as this company is one of those who are stable experienced and do not oversell.

howbeit - that is always reasonable to compare deals before choosing.
