Might check out digital ocean, $5/mo for 512mb single core with 20gb ssd. Might be a cheap test, and about as cheap as a shared hosting plan. I'm not using them, but thinking about getting a few to play with.

Interesting review. I'm not sure I am ready to spend $50 a month for
hosting. I spend $25 for the HG reseller account..... what is a bad
haircut worth?

I'm toying with the idea of dusting off and old box and making it a lamp
server for now, since I already have a cox business account that allows
servers.

I was hoping to spend more time blogging and less time teching.....

Thank you for all your input!!

            yes, they aren't the cheapest... but I like that I can email
            support and have a email back in under 10 minutes. I hate
            when things are crashing, and I am waiting hours for support
            to respond. I recently migrated from an old legacy machine
            to their new VPSs, and it has noticeably faster load times,
            fwiw. If you'd like a trial on my VPS, we can work something
            out.

                Thanks Eric!! I assume it is an overloaded server also.
                I looked at the VPS' at Liquidweb. Prices sure have
                changed.

                    yes. While plugins can slow down the server, I'd bet
                    money on it being an overloaded server.
                    If you can move to a VPS, its probably for the
                    better. I personally use Liquidweb (top notch support).

                        New site with very few visitors. On HostGator
                        reseller account. I have a number of sites,
                        mostly parked domains, so I utilize a reseller
                        account.

                        In researching I found others had the same
                        experience with WordPress websites - most said
                        HG would blame it on plugins. I have 6 plugins.
                        HG said it was the all-in-one-seo plugin that
                        was slowing my website.

                        The interesting thing is the same exact setup
                        runs just fine on my local LAMP dev server.

                        I think the problem is too many hosts per server
                        or and imbalance of sites taking up a lot of
                        resources.

                            WP Super Cache can help for static pages. It
                            is not solving your slowness problem though.
                            It just reduces the number of CPU cycles
                            your blog requires.

                            How many plugins do you have? How many
                            visitors do you receive? Are you on a shared
                            plan?

                                My blog is running really slow.
                                HostGator suggest WP Super Cache.

                                Any thoughts?

                                Thanks!!
