is Venture 5 alright for me?

[esoin]

I am planning to get Venture 5 @ https://www.venturesonline.com/Virtual_Hosting/virtual_hosting.html

My site runs vB and has an avg. of 30-40avg concurrent users durring peak hours... and 10-15 durring off peak hours. It's expected to grow... slowly.

My site uses a bit over 18gig per month at the moment

Will this Venture 5 plan hold up for me? HostRocket.com suspended my account... they said "consistantly has more than 20 people on the site" (-Brendan@hostrocket) and mine exceeded that amount.. so i had to leave

..and I noticed Venture 5 has a 1 year team contract... if you cancel within that time period.. there is a penality payment. Do you think if for the same reason venture 5 suspends my account.. and I am forced to leave.. they'll have me pay the penality payment?

I was also considering going dedicated. I'm not to fimiliar with dedicated host. I just know they are VERY EXPENSIVE and very relieble.

Any comments would be apreaciated! thanks

PS: I was also looking @ http://www.site5.com/services/shared/
the prices seem to be better for what you get

there is a thread in the venturesonline forum about limitations to the number fo connections VO allows a shared account to make. I would recommend reading that and then asking them directly (start a new ticket), best way to get an answer.

wow
what was your plan at hostrocket??

...they said consistantly has more than 20 people on the site...
whats that got to do with bandwith??

the corp. plan for 29.99 a month.. I think that's the best one they have

having too many concurrent users effects the performance of the MySQL.
