Hey everyone. I have been running a site for a year and am just about to renew my vb license (just expired like 2 days ago.) I am currently on a dedicated server paying $115 a month. As everyone knows with this economy I just can't cut it anymore.

I have a semi-busy site. 1200 members, on average 50 connected users, just a chat forum nothing ridiculous.

Would switching to shared serving to weather the economy out cripple me?

DB size is about 75MB.

I was looking at your semi-dedicated package.

And...how many user+guests are concurrently online in your forum?
And what's the average CPU load you observed?

I think you are an ideal candidate for Semi-Dedicated hosting.
