Fresno,
Thanks for the comment. I would look at another host when your page views get into the thousands per day. 120 visitors a day any basic shared account should support. The problem with shared hosting is that you share the same server with up to 500 or more sites. It takes a few sites on the box with traffic to make the load worse for everyone else. I would consider looking at a VPS in the future, for now you are fine on a basic shared account with the amount of traffic you receive. You could always look at moving to another server if all else fails.
