Alright well since some people seem annoyed I guess I will explain what's going on...
Basically, the host that we were on for the last year and a half sucked and did not monitor their server usage. So that is why the site was crashing multiple times per day; because we kept overloading the server.
So we switched to a new host. The new host actually monitors their servers and we are using 28% of a server that is shared by 8 people...with the search(new posts) feature alone taking up 12% of that.
Currently, our hosting costs $120 per year. Not too bad. However, to switch to a dedicated server(our own), at minimum, will increase that to $1000 per year....and to buy a server and set it up at my house would cost at least $900 for the machine and $80 per month for cox business internet.
So we have a couple different ideas on the table and will be decided on by next week.
Hang tight.
