Hi KP, we chose
GeekStorage, they did everything I asked and then more.
We got MariaDB + XtraDB.
We did some optimization php and mysql side.
The optimization configs were provided by eva2000 (vBulletin tech support guru):

They did some optimizations to the server and things are looking good now:
I have to say Matt has been fantastic, the guy knows so much, plus he takes his time to explain everything to me so I don't feel stupid and having to google for each answer.
JayH has been very nice too.
The server has been screaming fast so far and I couldn't be happier with the performance.
I will eventually leave a feedback about them at WHT too because they made the server move a breeze.
Far less trouble than my previous migrations.
They did everything I've asked and more.
With this said, this move is saving me lots of money monthly and also providing me excellent service.
The customer service within business hours has been stellar, everytime I got a reply was with things being done and taken care for me instead of "we are looking at this please hold" like many other hosts do.
I suppose they truly deserve the name
Geekstorage because they are Geeks.
