I wasn't offended. Sorry if I gave that impression. Email is really bad 
at conveying emotion, you know. Thank you for taking the time to help 
me. I appreciate your input.

Can you recommend a managed VPS that might be closer to my preferred 
price range? If we get something unmanaged we are likely to run into a 
whole other different set of problems.

I took a closer look at the site and it appears that loading the front 
page requires in the order of 30 HTTP requests. That seems like way too 
much. Do you still feel its all infrastructure, or should we blame the 
website a bit too?
