Where to go from Hostgator

i have used crocweb and stablehost both are very good, but like previously said you may have security problem because your blog shouldn't take so much resource
 
im using soyoustart now a days
working awesome (unmanaged dedicated server)
Intel Xeon W3520
4 c/ 8 t
2.66 GHz+
16 GB ECC
2x 2 TB SATA

ah btw i got tired of "hosting companies" saying your using too much resources we have to suspend your account
fuck them, their servers are too oversold can manage some load
 
I have kinda fallen out of the loop with linux and got a 4core vps from transip about a week ago. lol i installed wamp. Man... that was sooooooo slow!

I definitely can not afford a dedicated server yet. A VPS is probably the way to go, but it is still technically shared hosting. Maybe i just need to find a good vps company.

As far as the cpu limit.. yea im sure it is one of my plugins causing it. I have turned them off and on to see whats doing it, but the information in cpanel has such a delay that its impossible to know if what i did made a difference. That is where a good hosting company that can actually help me troubleshoot will come in.

I am using a CDN also.. so from an end user the site is lightning fast.

As far as security.. i am using wordfence and have it locked down pretty tight. I have comments/pingbacks and everything disabled.

Thanks for all of your input. Gunna go do some research on the companies listed on this page : )

Hostgator is the best, just test your site locally and you will know what script takes the most cpu time.
 
Got ready to buy a knownhost vps.. but read the AUP and porn is not allowed. dangit

I have been messing around with P3 and can see which scripts are the slowest to load, but that doesnt mean they are the ones clogging the cpu
 
P3 ? just start http server with some good analytic software and you will know more than load time.

and generate some fake traffic to test it, but one time run through entire site with one user should be enough to spot the problema.

With just 50 concurrent users, you should not be facing any issues with Hostgator. I have a wordpress site on their $8 a month shared hosting plan and my site has 200+ concurrent users during peak time. I've never faced any issues so far. My guess is one of the plugins you are using has a bug or security issue.

Yes, probably some stupid loop.

Yea you are probably right. I will screw around with it some more instead of jumping ship right away. I will disable them one at a time again and give them more time in between. Maybe leave them off for a day at time.

I did just disable my photo rating plugin and the page load time went from 1.5sec to 3/4 of a second

One thing i have noticed is that my account usually gets restricted while i am actively working in the admin page.. So something in there is causing part of the problem.

I disabled the heartbeats in the admin-ajax, but that didnt do anything.

Why you just don't test it as I told you ? you would find a problem right away.

I would if it was a dedicated or vps. How am i supposed to stop/start apache on shared hosting? Didnt think that kind of control was possible. The only analytics i will be able to install would just be web based crap.

I figure at minimum i would at least need to migrate to a vps to be able to do this level of troubleshooting.

Dude, you're not reading what I've wrote. Test it locally. You have a very simple problem.

If your website/business was important to you, you wouldn't be on shared hosting by now. Shared hosting is for basic websites, period, so quit complaining. I'm not a hostgator customer, but it's clearly not hostgator's fault.
 
Stop recommending him other servers/vps - his problem will stay until he optimize the website.
