Now I know I probably shouldn't say this but the response time of the website has been great since changing to the new server.  I have 4 tabs that open in my browser and the server swap, OAS loads fastest.

So why did the host change the server ?
Did we have to beg or threaten to get moved ?
Did the server simply die ?
Why did it take so many complaints to finally change the server ?

The reason I ask is that there may not be a need to change the host - At this time

The old server's still there, but serving (at least one) fewer sites. They suggested the server change as an option that might solve our intermittent slow response problems, once we were able to establish that the problem was probably the mysql server's response time. So far, so good...
