When is a good time to upgrade Beyond Hosting package?

Hey. I know very little about servers and hardware stuff. Right now I'm running on a starter VPS from Beyond Hosting. Things have picked up really fast over the past month. So far in February I've run 186,000 clicks through my server. All clicks from Facebook (not sure if that matters). This number will likely be increasing pretty soon. I feel like it's time to upgrade my servers, but I'm not sure what to uprade to. I'd appreciate any guidance on this.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: just realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Can the mods move it to the correct forum please

Have a look at my articles on stress-testing your server - if you do that, you'll have a good idea of when you'll need to upgrade.

However, to be perfectly honest, servers are not a huge expense. It's reasonably easy to upgrade or downgrade on demand, so I'd recommend upgrading now just so that you're sure everything will be OK, and don't have to add "worrying about your server" to the list of stuff you're thinking about as your campaigns start to explode. Talk to Beyond, explain what you think your maximum volume's likely to be, and see what they recommend.

Thanks for the reply Curamen. I upgraded last night. The monthly cost of hosting for me has literally doubled for me, but it's fine.. it's stupid to risk my current campaigns over a few extra bucks per month.
