i need some help..

[larryd]

ok I run the website www.newcelica.org and we have been up for a little over 2 years now.. In those 2 years I have accumulated about 6000+ users and ALOT of traffic. I have moved from server to server about 7 or 8 times now and it always starts out great and then within a month or two it just goes down hill.. The site will never stay up no matter what I do it seems. I need a host that is capable of handling a site such as mine but at the same time will not want to charge me an arm an leg.. Im looking to spend no more then 100.00 a month.. here are some stats on the site..

Hits per Day 439438
Files per Day 156675
Pages per Day 18898
Visits per Day 3667
KBytes per Day 3202068kb

so as you can see we are getting alot of traffic from ALOT of page reloads.. I am currently hosting with www.gobigmedia.com which they have been really good for me but within the last week the site has been down more then up and I know the members and sponsors are starting to get pissy. I really need something stable so I can stop worrying about the site beign up and down.. Can anyone please help me..

you're using 3GB/day on only 18898 pageviews/day

You must have some large downloads or large size pages to generate such high bandwidth transfer per day..

i noticed your forum has max 157 users online recently... while your traffic and pageviews don't require you to go dedicated, but your forum traffic may..

have you looked at a semi dedicated or dedicated server solution?

im not sure how to interpret page views but acutal page loads are 439438 per day.. its becuase the same pages are getting reloaded over and over again.. ive turned off file attachments, ive turned off avatars, i just dont get it

nope that 439438 is page hits

i.e.

1 page has 3 images if loaded means = 4 page hits (3 images + the page)

ok.. well that would make more sense then.. but still why the high bandwith.. according to the site stats its all coming from the forum. but i cant figure out why.
