I'm Overpaying for My Server

If you're doing automation at a high level, don't waste your time with iMacros, it's not designed to be fast or efficient, and the programming is incredibly limited.
Either:
-Sniff the headers(use Live HTTP Headers on Firefox) and send HTTP requests serverside from a simple script, which shouldn't be too hard to code
or get a more advanced macro program that supports multithreading, there's a million of them out there. Autohotkey is free, powerful, and relatively easy to use.

I can't believe people still use iMacros to do any serious work, it's greatly limited.

yeah get rid of macro junk and just use perl/php/whatever and run 1000 instances on a 8 core cpu/8 gb instead of 15

This. Get someone who actually understands the problem, don't try to hack it together with box software.

Well really it's 120 instances as each iMacros browser is opened up with 8 tabs.

However I get what you are all saying. I am pretty comfortable coding in PHP, but something like this is currently above my level. I'll talk to some people and get something done, as I really am losing out on a lot of money right now.

Edit: Actually to be honest it really is a mess right now. I have a ton of different WinAutomation processes running simultaneously doing upkeep because all of the 3-4 moving parts that are required to have everything work all are very prone to crash. The entire thing has been a patchwork, and although its working to some extent I definitely need to get rid of the hacked up backend.
