Guys, thanks a lot for the great suggestions. We already have a new server. We just have to move the website.
Please consider using virtualisation on the new server (if not already planned)
I use linux-vservers for my new systems and I'm really pleased (if you like something else then go for it, the point was to virtualise, not really discuss which virtualisation solution)
I now release nearly every website we run under a new vserver image. I use several base images as my starting points, eg one vanilla, one setup for web serving. This makes it simple to update 20 virtual machines easily. (I use gentoo so additionally I can sync settings across groups of machines and share binary packages across all machines - probably not relevant to many here though)
The upshot is that I can "bounce the server" in about 1-3 seconds and copying across to a new physical machine probably involves only a few seconds of downtime (less if you can use iptables). It is so simple to move machines between physical hardware, test updates to machines before doing it to the live machine, cloning them for tests, etc
