I currently run a website that delivers a monthly mailing list. It has over 15k subscribers and is doing ok. apart from one issue: The server is intermittently going down. When I asked my host provider they told me that there are too many resources running and that is causing the site to crash. I had no idea why until I read that a shared host is worse for sites that have a lot of visits.
I'm not terribly technical minded and only know what I have read. So this brings me to two questions
1) Is the service I need, called a dedicated Server?
2) Can someone recommend a service that is easy to set up for none technical people. I looked at amazon dedicated servers but their site is full of jargon and gives me a headache.
It would also be good to not be charged an arm and a leg monthly, at the moment I paying $100 per year - if I could get close to that it would be nice.

Much appreciated and thanks in advance.
