They feel ready to move up - they're using quite a lot of traffic for a shared hosting site and have quite a lot of disk space for a shared hosting site. In my opinion they dont have enough revenue from the site to justify their own server yet, but I'm doing what i've been asked.
I gave them some figures for a dedicated server and there was a sharp intake of breath that sucked most of the air out of the room. After a pause that seemed to last an age, the client asked "is there a cheaper option?" So while i don't thnk they're going to end up with going VPS, I dont want to tell them they can have a system that will bite me later if they DO decide to go with it.
