I will be moving to a dedicated server with Hostican… I’m incredibly happy with their service, but to be a blog with more than a thousand users a day and with ambitions of getting on the Digg frontpage simply won’t last on shared hosting. 
This blog may go down during the day – anyways, just letting you guys know, will post more about the move later. If you want decent hosting for smaller websites, I highly recommend Hostican’s Tera Host package, as I had 50~ small websites on them for months without any problems – anyways, use the coupon code University-12 to get $40 off (and help from me with setting up your blog should you need it

VERY NICE!! I might be shopping around for dedi soon… my sites are starting to get sluggish and it’s starting to annoy me since sluggish can equal lost revenue.
I can justify the price right now for a dedi but things have been “making it okay” on shared…. decisions decisions…

A VPS would be more than enough if you are only wanting to host TUK and maybe one other small site.
A dedicated for a single site of this size is kind of overdoing it, even if you were to get on Digg frontpage once a week.
Just a thought, wouldn’t want to throw out $200+/month when I don’t need too.

@ Matt, depending on the hosting specs I plan to run a service that should help my readers quite a bit…

You would certainly need a dedicated server once your blogging magazine
gets going.
Now to generate revenues eh Jason

Jason, if you need a hand, I’ll be here to help
- A dedicated server is much more to handle, though, so you may need to learn how to handle it

Very nice choice! Dedicated is the only way to go once you start getting decent in size.

@ Daniel, this blog was on shared hosting before, although I did have a VPS/dedi/other shared hosting in the past for a few small websites.

what sort of server specs are you looking into now?
are you on a VPS now? if not it can be a choice before getting into a fully dedicated server. and lots cheaper

@ Chiq/Meethere, I would not have recommended Hostican were I not happy with their service (nor moved to a dedicated server were I unhappy)
Good luck with the move, and if you need any help, let me know.
