Fashom.com. I've only launched it a few days ago. The issue is login and page load time because of the number of images stored. I was also suggested that I could use cloud servers instead. Yes we are compressing w/gzip. We are not scaling images in HTML.

If you don't have tons of users/content then the problem isn't the server. If I had to guess its probably the sites architecture and code. If you want an inexpensive provider who uses SSD try Digital Ocean. They are dirt cheap and I've heard they are a solid provider, but I would look into the code first.
