Thanks! I'll look.

Pluggers,
I've been hosting my own WordPress sites for seven years or so now, and the
reality is that my sites are just running too slow. I'm using a virtual shared
server on media Temple. Admittedly I'm paying $20 a month, so I don't expect
best in class performance, but I have to do
I think you might have good luck with https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing
All the stuff you're talking about only matters if you are expecting a
large traffic footprint. On the scale of a personal blog you're better off
beefing up CPU RAM and looking at server level stuff.
This site has been
If you know php html, then I'd recode using those.
Wordpress is a hacker's paradise.
When I worked tech support at BlueHost, every evening someone would call
with a hacked CMS (Content Management System)
either Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla. Wordpress by the way was the worse.
I'm not surprised
Before you jump ship, you might want to look into caching plugins.
Wordpress doesn't cache much (if anything) out of the box. You'll probably
get a good speed boost by setting up something like WP-Cache.

Terrible.
And Wordpress itself is not a bad thing, as
Wordpress is pretty slow for a number of reasons, but some easy things you
can do to speed it up is to install a php op-code cache, and a word press
cache plugin. I would recommend xcache http://xcache.lighttpd.net/ for the
op code cache, and probably WP-Cache for the word press cache plugin.
ok, for extreme speed[1] and still have the benefits of Wordpress, you can move
the main index page and create a cron every five minutes to wget the real
wordpress page and save it as a static index page. Comments, posts, etc, will
take up to five minutes to show up, but an incredible number
As others have said, take a look at your plugins and think about fronting it
with a CDN (http://www.cloudflare.com/ for example).
shameless plug:
If you decide to move, consider OpenShift. This is the project I work on at
Red Hat. We have pretty good wordpress hosting and the best part, its
I would look into the reason for the slowness. Is the memory fully used? Is
there a rogue process running? What is the root cause? If this is not
identified it could happen somewhere else.

I agree. I'd be interested in seeing some dstat output.

I looked into wordpress speed optimization a little while ago. What I found
is that all the PHP and MySQL code creates for a large memory footprint and
a lot of setup and teardown for each connection! If you use 10 or 20
concurrent connections to Wordpress on a smaller box, the memory will be

Nope, this is not true. wordpress.com uses wordpress. It's not a

Others usually had Wordpress plugins that hadn't been updated in ages.

When you are on a cheap vhost you are sharing the server with upwards of 800
other vhosts.
