Hi can someone recommend a hosting solution for a brand new social site? My budget is tight so I don’t want to start with dedicated. If I start with a shared host or VPS, how hard would it be to scale without downtime or data loss when my site grows? Lastly, could anyone recommend some good shared hosts?

Thanks,
Nicolo
