well in all honesty when you break it down you are just better off getting your own server for the money, cause you seem to be increaseing your BW 5X as two months ago. So I would start looking for a server, next thing you will be looking for is more IP's and more domain names. My personnal opinon is that it's easier to manage them all in one place, and if you have issues you dont have to call tech support everytime if you have a little knowedge on how to run a server, but you can always pay extra for that. It's nice to have the options of completly doing what you want when you want, IE install software, add remove sites, etc.
But the down part of this is you have to be on your toes, you will need some kind of monitoring software or pay the company to do it for you. Also if you have 100 sites on one box and something goes wrong and the box goes down and you do not have back ups, well you know the outcome of that. All sites are down and mostly down for good if not a very long time.
But you can also cluster your servers with most companies if your purchase multible ones. And thats where the fun begins. lol. Good luck in your choice.
