Thanks Nick - I don't have a dedicated server. and I'm limited to 20 MySQL databases on the current hosting plan.
If you ever need a dedicated server I can definitely recommend Register1. They are a small sister company of ServerStream (who host some VERY large sites) and their support is phenominal - they have never taken more than 2 minutes to respond to any support ticket I've raised. They seem very reliable, and get consistently good reviews.
Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

I keep a server running on Amazon EC2, primarily for experimental purposes.
It has the advantage that I can swap different machine images around depending on which technologies I want to use, mess around with scaling up to multiple servers and load balancing, and so forth, and just pay for the time I actually have a machine running.
With one server active all the time on a static IP address, it comes out to about £45/month including stuff I have stored on S3 and so on.
