Issues with Reindexing

[rutulrocks]

I've client who have more than 200,000 products on his store. He is using Magento Community 1.9.x. Mostly these products are a combination of simple/configurable products. When I do reindexing from System > Index Management, it always times out due to server settings.

I found a way to reindex via SSH using the command:

php -f shell/indexer.php reindexall

It takes 5-6 hours to reindex whole website. The website is on a shared server so I think, it might be the server that's causing the issue.

Can anyone recommend any high end server configurations that can help to resolve this or any other recommendations are also welcomed! I need to make reindexing fast within an hour so that it doesn't lockout the database from making other changes.

TIA!

Do you know what sort of limits are currently applicable to the shared hosting plan?

How much is your client willing to spend for this?
