Hi

I run the website www.movies-megaupload.com

My website is based on Joomla 1.5.10 and I have enabled Legacy plugin to run it as native version.

I have hosted my website on a shared hosting program but would be moving it soon to a VPS with 1Gbps port, German hosted, with 384MB RAM and 8 core processor. Will this increase my website's performance.

The reason for switching to this VPS is because

1. it is cheap
2. I update my website once every 10 days and after updating it, I send out emails to all my registered users (4000 users approx). The log in to the website to check out the update and the last time this happened, the CPU usage spiked to 65% on my shared hosting and my account got suspended.

Any ideas on how to avoid this spike? My hosting service provider is clueless. All that they can say is that my website is HTML based and should not be causing such spikes.

I am looking at suggestions to improve my website's page loading speed. Currently SH404sef and Joomlawatch are executing too many queries while the page is getting loaded. I cannot uninstall sh404sef and am looking at ways to optimize joomlawatch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
