Server host that can grow with my site?
I'm launching a WordPress site next month that I believe will grow faster than expected. I'm not sure what's the best choice for hosting. I currently have a VPS host (who I really like as a host - they're local with killer support) and I'm not sure if that's the best route or not. My current VPS (12gb ram) has multiple failures a day with automatic restarts. It's hosting a one multisite install (with 3 active subsites, 4-5 inactive subsites and less than 100 visitors a day total on average), a second site with 60-70 visitors a day and 2 other sites that are lucky to get one visitor a day. The failures have me concerned that 1 site 300-500 members and 1000 hits a day will need a lot more resource-wise than what I have now. I don't think that there's that huge a load on it (though maybe the multisite is a resource hog?). So I'm really not sure which way to go - and perhaps it's because I don't understand hosting that well. A distributed grid sounds cool, but does it work in practice? Is eventually getting a dedicated server unavoidable? What the hell do sites that have a lot of members and traffic do?
What can you say about Regvps.com dedicated servers for rent hosting? Any reviews? Other hosts?
All advice will be appreciated - I'm planning on launching my site, I need to get this squared away ASAP. Thanks!

Good uptime, good support - most of the time!
Speed is great and everything just works.
Highly recommend Regvps.com host.
A dedicated server is necessary for those who have a site whose traffic increases significantly during holidays and weekends (this also applies to “seasonal” sites). Try Regvps.com Server E5-2670 - $79/month: CPU Intel® Xeon E5-2670, RAM 16 GB, SSD 1000GB, Bandwidth 10 TB. Servers are powerful enough for your business applications to run fast and efficiently.
Accounts from hostround.com and inet.ws are worthwhile.
As a long-time customer, I can say their service is unexcelled in uptime, support, consistent performance, and overall user-friendliness. As an amateur, I am extremely grateful for this.
