You could sit Buffistas on any webhost which supports MySQL and PHP, I'd imagine.
We're running on a dedicated server. No way could we afford the prices at your link.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
You don't need a dedicated server though, I'd imagine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Someone wasn't here for the Hostrocket era.

Oh, there's a LOT of bad web hosts, the secret is finding a decent one. A bad one will trash a site sooner than I can cough. And I cough a lot. (A lovely vision).
Dedicated servers suffer from the obvious management issues of upgrades and such, is all, whereas if you have shared hosting that's managed for you (you just have to trust a company to do it).
I google around HostRocket and laugh, also. Seems some people don't like 'em...

Our wings are not tired
I don't want to go back to the shared server situation. That was a bloody nightmare. How much money are we looking at needing to do this? I'm guessing we are probably looking at around $400 to be on the safe side.

It was determined that there was a bug in the MySQL code that meant we spiked the CPU during heavy usage. Hostrocket didn't care that it wasn't our code's fault--they just wanted us off because we were choking their other websites.
I'm with everyone that doesn't want to have anything like that argument again--it hasn't been determined if the MySQL bug has been fixed, and PostgreSQL testing got derailed.
eta: That's my guess, ND. I asked them for an estimate, and will post the answer.

Should we do a check of the kitty? Jesse?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We have that kind of money on hand, but it will just mean we'll need more sooner. Maybe I'll do a tax refund ask...

There's a claim it's been fixed, but that's no reason to go back to a shared host again. I'm sure there's another problem waiting after that one.

Which MySQL release would that put the fix in?
Though I do agree--shared is just one VIP visit away from trauma.
