Just to let everyone know, I am planning for a server upgrade in the future to probably the Medium model from the linked page.
http://store.sun.com/CMTemplate/CEServlet?...CP&catid=138714
This upgrade will effectively upgrade us to 64-bit, and a faster processor, double the ram, among a few other things. Of course that costs $1,295.00 + $150 for the mounting rails. It will be quite some time before I could afford that on my own.
What does everyone else think about this?

Now that it has been a few months, and nobody else said a thing in this topic...
I have purchased a Sun X2100 M2.
It will take a week or two to configure it to the point it can just be swapped out in place of the existing server with very minimal downtime migrating all of the websites between the two.
A few key things to note about the upgrade.
Current Server:
32-bit single-core CPU
1.0GB RAM
250GB SATA - Not Hot swap
100BaseT Ethernet
Tower Chassis
New Server:
64-bit Dual-core CPU
1.5GB RAM
250GB SATA II - Hot swap
1000BaseT Ethernet
1U Rackmount Chassis
More updates to follow.

This sounds wonderful. 
- Will there be some downtime during the installation?
- Will this fix the downtime issues we've suffered in the past?
- Thanks. Here's to United-TI and its success!

1: Yes hopefully only a little though.
2: It should, that's one of the major reasons why I am doing this.

Deployment of the new server has been delayed until the tool used for managing virtual domains gets released with support for the new OS.

The software has been updated, we are now waiting on an additional network card that doesn't have defective drivers to arrive in my hands.

The new network card has arrived today, as such I've installed it in the server and am now running some scale test benchmarks from a different machine on my LAN against the server to simulate the slashdot effect.
Here are the results of my first series of benchmarks, keep in mind the overall system resources were 40% idle during the course of this test, which simulates 200 connections at the same time for 100,000 total connections. The test page was dynamically generated with php using a fairly expensive mysql query to more accurately simulate what would really happen.

The new server has been deployed, and we are operating from it now. If things go as planned this will remain the case for 2-3 years.
