Professional plan will work just fine. Haven't used them myself but they have probably the best reputation on LEB.

I have a server with https://vpsace.com/plans.php
Choice is yours. Just make sure to get CentOS 6 64 bit.

Will keep take a look at these now. Would also love @MattW recommendation on a unmanaged VPS. I hear hes a pro with servers.

How hard would it be to transfer my SSL?

I am a bit familiar with MySQL, dont know any MariaDB or Percona =/.

The Developer of MySQL has 2 daughters one of the is actually named My. He sold MySQL to Sun Micro but runs a community fork called MariaDB, Maria is his other daughter. Percona is similar its another fork of MySQL, it concentrates on InnoDB more. I wouldn't worry about these details if you are not ready. I personally being capable of installing these still went with a stock MySQL install on my current server. But I am switching for the performance benefit soon. Go with whatever you are comfortable with messing with and or can get help with.

You have a paid SSL? Cloudflare can handle that.
