I'm having a really hard time picking a web host for our forum. I am resurrecting an old forum I used to run. At it's height we often had 100+ users on at any given time with about 15,000 registered members. I don't need a huge amount of bandwidth to start but I'd like something that is easily expanded for the future. For that reason I've been looking at virtual private servers. I'm in Canada, and the main user base will be from there. I'd like something partially managed as I am pretty good with linux, cPanel etc, but I don't have time to do all the server maintenance myself. I've looked at Media Temple because I used them in the past for shared hosting and had a good experience, but I see bad reviews on here for their vps and grid servers. All my domains are through godaddy but they have terrible hosting reviews. I don't have experience with any other vps providers. I've read countless posts on here but the responses seem to be all over the map.
So, can anyone help point me in the right direction? Who deserves my money? And who has the best options for expansion when the site outgrows it's starting resources?
I will be running vBulletin 4.2.x
