Not having to own your own box is a major reason for moving to a VPS even if the immediate price/performance was lower. It's sometimes difficult to factor in the total costs of owning and maintaining your own hardware. For the price of $350/mo, you get a pretty good deal on hi-perf VPS from Tektonic, see http://www.tektonic.net/hiperf-vps.html. I've consistently evaluated them as one of the cheapest around. As others have said, offloading image processing might be your cheapest way for added scalability. You should benchmark your server, some apps spend a staggering amount of time just pushing bits around. There are different takes for CDN library support for Tapestry but things are moving around all the time both in terms of core Tapestry and different storage providers so I haven't seen a clear winner so far. AWS has lots of options there but you want to carefully evaluate the costs.
