Thanks, that actually looks like a much better option, I have a linode 2GB set up which shares resources with I think 16 other accounts and it's on some kind of RAID they upgraded to for better speed. For the same price I can get a dedicated server with 4 times the RAM, 10 times the storage on two dedicated HD in RAID1 and a higher bandwidth allowance? I should have done better research.

I was thinking of trying https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing as for the $40 i'm paying I could get twice the RAM and SSD but it's not clear whether that SSD is shared or raided and the chat room was no help. And the idea of a dedicated server is too good so I think I'll give ovh a shot. I am spending way too much cash on this ^.^
