Do you have enough traffic that scaling is really a concern? It's typically putting the cart in front of the horse to worry about that too soon. You'd be much better off trying to improve the site and get out the name otherwise.
You are absolutley right that the site doesn't need any form of scaling right now. I have never had the chance to write a massivley scalable system of anykind, I am looking for a challange and I don't have a lot of money so I am trying to figure out how to learn how to scale on a budget for fun , not for buisness. If the time comes though I will have some tricks up my sleave.
