Something is weird here. How would you rate your skills as a developer? If you're having performance issues with very little traffic it might be more worthwhile to include someone with better technical skills than you rather than raising money. Scaling is a linear thing based on the number of machines and if you already have some slow warts you'll burn through any money that you raise very quickly. Not to mention, an accelerator or Angel hearing about your technical woes this early will probably require you to have a technical partner anyway. My other thought is you might be cheap. There's nothing wrong with that, it's good to be cost conscious but if you have demand you have to scale. Saying that server space is limiting growth is a very odd limitation to have.
