Our past setup was an excuse for a server

I wanted to save a few bucks but that bit me in the ass... So now i have to pay almost double a month. But this time there should not be any problems.
I will be testing this server for the next month if problems are to a min, then it will be perm.
Im currently paying 170$ a month.
The site was down for 4 days or sumthin because i bought the new server and i hit the shutdown button (lol didnt mean to). So it had to be manually turned on by an actual person pressing the on button lol.
