I have a “Baby Croc” plan and hosting a custom made mobile blogging service (PHP + MySQL app) plus a few Wordpress sites. My account used 78 GB bandwidth last month (June). The wordpress sites get about 8000 pageviews combined every day.

Getting to the main question, the blogging app. gets about 50000 page views each day. Script is not written too bad so page generation times are average 0.5 secs. And average page size is about 50 KB. Sometimes I see my account hitting the max. process limit and site gives “500 Internal Server” errors. My question is, is this it? I mean should I now switch to a VPS?

P.S. I’m very satisfied with the service HostGator offers.:thanks:
