Yes experience keeps a dear school, you do indeed have to learn by mistakes.
So windows doesn't like dealing with a specific app thats running more then 200 threads. I tend to actually stay near 100 to 125 per instances. But with windows you can run an unlimited number of scrapebox instances, so you can could run 3 instances and put them all at like 175 and still be at more then 500 threads and it would run smoother.
Smaller files are better, I work in ultra small files, like less the 1 mb and then I have automation in place, but thats not practical without heavy automation, but in time the automator plugin could be valuable for you and off the top of my head its only like $20 and then you might want to build or hire out some scripts, but for $100 you could probably have the automator and scripts that fill in the gaps and have what your doing entirely hands off, or 99% hands off. Any way for down the track.
Scrapebox can handle massive files, like 100 million+ lines, but windows and server resources won't really like that. So more memory is always better, generally speaking, but smaller files are always better/more efficient. Even google works in small files and small servers.
This is who I use and recommend
https://scrapeboxfaq.com/solidseo.php
I have over a dozen servers with them and have been with them for several years. customer service is always great and prompt as well. Its just regular windows VPS, I have actually never used a "seo" companies vps, always just regular windows. Its pretty straight forward and I have a video on it as well.
To be honest I like dedicated servers, thats just me. I mean even a less expensive dedicated I "feel" out performs a more expensive VPS, plus you typically get more hard drive space on dedicated, which for me helps. I always wind up storing a lot files over time, historic data that I can use later I mean.
Its my 2 cents, but a little bit of it is trial and error, trying out some stuff to see what meets your needs. Being down for 90 hours is SUPER annoying though. I might have raised a item not as described ticket with my payment processor to get their attention. I don't like to do that, but if you cant' get a response I do sometimes, it gets their attention anyway.
But none the less, I think you are on a good track.
