Help - I think I have outgrown my host

Any recommendations for a new host?

My site is so slow and users are getting a littled upset, site seems to be going down often recently.

600,000-800,000 page views a month
16.5k members
9300 uniques yesterday Dec 19th

The other problem is that I have never changed host before and would prefer to hire a professional to handle the transfer to ensure a smooth transition.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks for your time.

9k uniques should be on a dedicated box. something mid line... like a dual proc, quad core and 2 gb of ram with raid 5.
