Advice on server/hosting

Hi gfy,

Right now I'm in a situation where I don't know what to do. I'm on a shared hosting (hostgator) and recently built and bought a few sites and it looks like may I need to upgrade, but I'm not sure. So I run a few wordpress sites on the shared server.
The traffic is very low, but my host disabled http access today. (high cpu load)

1 custom blog 3-500UV/~800 page views/Day
3 picture blog 600UV/~2-3000 page views/Day
4 tubes (embed content) 100UV/~300 page views/Day

My Question is: do I need to move to a dedicated server with this setup? Or was this because of badly optimized plugins, sites? I asked for re-activation and the sites are now live, but I disabled some plugins, wp-cron on all sites.
Is there a traffic limit where dedicated servers is a must?
These sites doesn't generate enough revenue to pay for an $150 server/month.
Any thoughts?

Thanks.
