OpenX (Openads) on my server or theirs?

    I'm looking for an alternative to my current ad management system (Max Banner Ads Pro) for Wordpress. Hostgator suspended my website due to CPU over-usage.

    My main objective is to have 300x300 ads in post. I don't know how openX does this. With Max-Banner-Ads-Pro, I just use this code in each blog post:
    <div style="”display:block;float:right;margin:"><!--MBA:Zone=4--></div>

    That code has 10 banners in rotation which keeps track of impression/clicks of each ad. Max Banner doesn't let me get more fancy than that, but it works for my application. Other than the CPU issues/ website suspensions. It's horrible.

    Is openX the solution for me?'

    I use Hostgator with a basic resellers account. My wordpress website uses very little bandwidth and disk space. Just overloads the CPU.

    Yes I have a cache plugins installed.

    Hostgator has issues with OpenX for some reason. I have called tech support multiple times for help and nothing ever works. I would stay away from HostGator if you want to run OpenX

    If you guys need a hand seting up the ad's servers give me a shout, awardspace are doing one dolalr hosting that looks pretty good... you can always buy out a decent VPS like mediatemple or servage!
