Hosting bills
I have more than a couple servers and use more than a couple of megabits (less than tplus main pipe, but certainly more than the cybertower). The hosting bill is therefore not a couple hundred of dollars. For months, I’ve been thinking how to rationalize this and cut back the costs. On the other hands, with more visitors coming, there is a need for more powerful servers. Specifically, I want to boost the performance of two big sites. I find they have become too slow to my taste. As a rule of thumb, if you need more power, you should go with colocation (you buy your own hardware). For more bandwidth, rent a dedicated server. But with more power and bandwidth needed, how do be solve this?

I would go for the colocation one
decreasing some fat stuffs from within your site might boost its speed : allow you more bandwidth I think
