Hey Warriors, I have a Clickbank product and it's been getting about 350-1,700 visitors a day. The site is built on the Wordpress platform with the OptimizePress theme; however, I am hosting this all on my BlueHost shared account as just an addon domain. (*the site is basically set up with OptimizePress automatically playing my sales video once someone visits the site. The video is also 14,000 kb and is also hosted on this shared account).
Is it time to upgrade to a VPS hosting?

Hey Warriors,
I have a Clickbank product and it's been getting about 350-1,700 visitors a day. The site is built on the Wordpress platform with the OptimizePress theme; however, I am hosting this all on my BlueHost shared account as just an addon domain. (*the site is basically set up with OptimizePress automatically playing my sales video once someone visits the site. The video is also 14,000 kb and is also hosted on this shared account).
I've been getting throttled by Bluehost for my CPU usage (and based on what they say..this may be a good thing at times b/c I get my own server at times...or something like that??).
So anyway I've really got 3 options:
1) Keep running the site on my shared hosting plan
2) Upgrade to Bluehost's ProPackage (the pro plan allows normally 20-30% cpu usage as opposed to the standard 7%).
3) Upgrade to a VPS (bluehost does not offer this so I'd have to learn how to switch everything over)
What would you all recommend and why? It seems like the ProPackage may be a good middle ground but I'm not sure if it will provide me with everything I need or what the real performance difference would be between that and a VPS.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
