A nice problem for a blog to have is that it’s getting too much traffic.  Especially if you’ve already gotten your own domain name and have moved off of blogger.com, wordpress.com, bravenet.com, or whatever other service you have.  It’s a sign that people are reading you stuff,  like what you have to say, and you’re a valuable source of information.

The problem that you now have is that you’re at a stage where you’re beginning to think that it might be more desirable to start another blog, or to do e-mail or get some custom work done to support some scheduled jobs and having a hosted solution may not be flexible enough for you.

What you need is to find a company, like Network Solutions, offering Virtual Private Servers.  A Virtual Private Server is like having your own computer on the Internet for people to come access in that you have full control of the box.  It’ll start up like a Windows or Linux box across the Internet.  It can run any application just like  you can on your own PC!

Network Solutions offers three different plans– Standard, Advanced and Pro.  They are competitively priced, and allow you to have much more than you regular hosting plan.  The basic plan allows you to have 10 GB of disk space, 500 GB transfer, 10 domains, and 50 e-mail accounts.  That’s plenty for most blogging tasks.  And you can upgrade all the way as the need arises.
