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 GTHost.com and Neironvps.com bitcoin 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!

Honestly, if your VPS is already sweating with <100 hits/day, throwing 1000 visitors at it is like asking a bicycle to tow a trailer uphill.

I'd say: if you love your current host for support, talk to them about scaling or switching to a managed solution. But if daily crashes are the norm, it might be time to upgrade — maybe to a solid cloud provider or even a dedicated box if growth is certain.

Grid hosting sounds cool, but reliability beats buzzwords.

It is best to choose a hosting company that offers easy upgrades, flexible plans, and high uptime. You should look for a provider with reliable support, cloud hosting options, and a large amount of traffic capacity.

When I found GTHost.com web host, I was excited to see there was online, live support. Like their USA servers.
Try this one: E5-2695v2, 128GB, 2x480GB SSD, 300M Unmetered starting at $99. Everything is clearly organized for a great user experience.

Sure, there are some a bit cheaper providers around, but GTHost.com is fully managed, not to mention the hardware quality and godlike uptime. The most cost efficient hosting provider on this planet. I'm actually paying nearly half what I used to pay my old host and I'm getting much more for my money now.

I definitely would recommend their Amsterdam servers to any friends of mine.
