As others have said, take a look at your plugins and think about fronting it with a CDN (http://www.cloudflare.com/ for example).
shameless plug: If you decide to move, consider OpenShift. This is the project I work on at Red Hat. We have pretty good wordpress hosting and the best part, its free for up to three servers. — gs On January 14, 2014 at 10:05:44 AM, Steve Alligood ([email protected]) wrote: ok, for extreme speed[1] and still have the benefits of Wordpress, you can move the main index page and create a cron every five minutes to wget the real wordpress page and save it as a static index page.

Of course, you may not need that level of performance. -Steve [1] 'extreme speed' as in not have a server fall over when slashdot or digg lists your page.
