Time has come, I have to upgrade to a dedicated server.

Ive been waiting for this for some time. I am using a managed dedicated option, but buying my own server.

This is all a bit new for me. Ive been on shared hosting and currently on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) - But the time has come. In the coming weeks, I will move my sites, one by one, to the new server.
