   I have had my blog working for almost 2 months now. It is great (www.jdcorbin.net/blog1).
   However, starting yesterday, it got really slow and sometimes wouldn't even let me log on. Now, it will bring up my index page, but nothing else. If I click on a post, try to log in, etc. I get a "page can not be displayed" error. I have NO idea why! Noone can get on the site to post or comment.
   I need help!! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
   Yahoo! WebHosting is what I use.

   Fairly normal behavior for yahoo.
   When you can, you need to get out of there.

   So I am seeing that the more I look into the problem. There is nothing I can do about it?

   I'm on the install4free team and I won't even do yahoo installs any more it's so frustrating. I used to get lots of complaints about the db not working.
   And support? Let me know if you ever hear from them.

   How hard is it to change my site and blog to a new host company? Could I do it quickly?

   Not too hard if you can get into phpmyadmin and download (export) the database.
   The domain name transfer is what might take 24-48 hours.
   If you need any help let me know. Just click on my name and use the contact button at the top of my test blog.

   edit - be sure and download your theme if you made any mods to it and anything else you think essential.

   Thanks for your help. I will definitely look into a new host. Any suggestions?
   Also, I have my website with Yahoo and I have no problems with any of it other than the pages that start with "wp-xxx". Does that make sense?

   Not a bit except the crappy mysql servers they use and are overloaded.
   I looked at your site. It looks like it would be very easy to do your whole site with WP.

   I used to rail on godaddy, but they have gotten very good and are cheap. They have a basic package (which is huge) for like 3.99 per month.
   Check it out and if you decide on them, be sure and request a Linux server as they set you up on a Windows server by default.
