Hey Boss-Hog, do what I did and go with a a VPS server.
I think you would be completely fine with a VPS host.
On a side note: I don't know of ANY shared hosting that would allow a database to go past 1gig. Godaddy's limit on lower shared plans is 100mb, and their unlimited shared plan is 1gig. I check 6-7 other shared hostings, and all had a max limit of 1gig. Size of a database shouldn't hinder the performance or cause errors, but if your hosting is limiting it's size, and you are over it, that is your issue.
One other odd thing I noticed on your current host, they charge $55.00 a month for their best VPS-4 plan, click on it, they only include a 10mbps port. If you want a 100mbps port, it is an additional $25.00 per month!!! Crazy!
