My situation is this.
I coded in php and built a facebook app. After 3 days it has 13,000 users.
I have my own server at hostmonster. It is a regular plan costing me about $70 per year. It has unlimited bandwidth.
I did not anticipate hosting apps or that it could pick up so many users.
Already 1 Gb of data was transferred in the last few days.
I am planning to build a few more apps(around 10 - 20) and reach atleast a million users in total.
Should I continue hosting on the same server or move to a VPS? I am a student and I don't have too much of a disposable income. So I want to move only if it is necessary.
Right now it shows 1 Gb/infinity in data transfer.
Any help/suggestions highly appreciated.
