In reply to: GoDaddy Hosting super slow – Is it me or them?@ bh_WP_fan
That link is extremely helpful! I agree it could be the databases and site bloat. Two of the sites, though, barely have any content; which, again, leads me to believe it’s the hosting environment. Still, as you said, it’s always good to optimize your sites.
If nothing else, this situation has forced me to learn more about WordPress which is always a good thing. 🙂
Thanks for the constructive input and objective opinion!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: GoDaddy Hosting super slow – Is it me or them?The site in question was moved to BlueHost. Now, the site runs great; so in a way, I suppose this issue is partly “solved.” However…
I still have three other WordPress sites residing on GoDaddy servers that are problematic. The sites are ridiculously slow, or do not come up at all reporting the same “Apache Server Port 80 error.” As stated many times to tech support, it’s a random, frequent occurrence (since August 2010). Sometimes the sites pop right up. Sometimes they hang for minutes at a time and the “Apache Server Port 80 error” appears.
These sites with GoDaddy hosting are still running slow:

http://rebeccasrainbow.net
http://creativegoodes.netThis was moved to BlueHost and works great: http://hammingitup.net
The fact that the hammingitup site works beautifully in it’s new hosting environment (BlueHost) while the other three on GoDaddy servers lag, hang and report errors speaks volumes.
Also, Alicia, I appreciate the support link, but I’m a little too familiar with your Support Department. Nice folks, but I have billable work I’d like to get done. Besides, a detailed letter has already been submitted to the “advanced team” at GoDaddy Support. Please refer to this letter for clarity before marking this issue “solved.” Also, if my support calls have been documented, I’m sure it’s a few inches deep. I posted here to hopefully get an objective, second opinion.
I’m new to WordPress and didn’t realize how important it would be to choose the right web host. Too bad I didn’t visit this page sooner: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/hosting/
Hope this helps someone else in the same predicament.
