[consulting] VPS? [was D7 side effects on the Development list]

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

I'm moving this here because the question has morphed into one only 
marginally assocated with development. I have a shared hosting account 
with 'unlimited' domains and 25 database max. I have a few clients I 
host, and several for which I keep a test version of their site up for 
making changes before rolling them out. Plus I have my site and a blog, 
etc. I received a letter saying that they now have a policy of 1000 
tables max per hosting account. I was at 2200.


They don't do VPS, and if they did, I don't know whether the limitations 
would go away. But if I get a second hosting account, it's not just a mv 
in ssh, it will be download, upload, repoint the domains, etc., same as 
if I move to another hoster or to a VPS.


I'd appreciate thoughts on whether I should do that, or consider a 
VPS... 2 shared hosting accounts is only $200/year. I thought about 
getting a static IP here and move the test sites here along with my own, 
but AT&T charges $15/month for that, which is more than double the cost 
of an additional hosting account.
