I got a quote on a dedicated server yesterday. It looks like I will be combining the sites hosted on the two VPSs into one server.

Have you contacted the hosting company?
The hosting provider has been notified several times about the problem. They keep saying its because of the traffic.

In the past 6 months, the traffic to my forum has doubled. So I have probably just out grown the VPS.
