 * Dear Friends, i am running [http://www.desimaila.com](http://www.desimaila.com),
   there are only 15-20 users online at a time on my web. This website is basically
   running over wordpress theme. I change 3 times from hostings due to their complain
   that my website is putting high load on their servers. Can anyone tell me where
   is the exact problem in theme which is creating problem. As per hosting company,
   my index.php file is creating too much load on servers. I try to disable plugins
   but it was not resolved. Any idea?

 * It’s impossible for us to tell from looking at your site. You’d need to analyse
   your servers logs for Apache, PHP and MySQL as well as an error logs and most
   likely MySQL’s slow query log. One of these will give you an idea of what is 
   happening.

 * Ask your host. Are you on a shared system or a dedicated server?

 * You might be able to get some from what ever control panel your hosting company
   uses, but most likely you’ll have to get your hosting comanpy to investigate 
   for you. If you’re running your own VPS or server then you can see yourself.

 * Dear Friends, thanks for your reply. I own shared hosting from my hosting company,
   they say that wordpress and joomla always put high load on servers and only VPS
   is the final solution for their websites. This is my first experience with any
   website and i am a noob here. I am surprised many people running wordpress websites
   without having VPS because its expensive. But what is problem with me or my wordpress
   that hosting company is refusing to accept my website for their servers. See 
   below the logs i received from my hosting company for your further action.

 * That log file doesn’t tell anyone anything about the load on the server.
 * It also sounds like the hosting companies that you’ve been using are trying to
   up-sell you to something that you don’t need. As an example, the hosting that
   we have where I work is a reseller account with a local hosting company, so we
   are on a shared server. I’ve currently got 20 sites on that account. 17 are WordPress,
   two are single HTML holding pages, and one is a Magento store with multiple store
   fronts. That operates on the shared server without a problem. Unless your site
   is generating a huge amount of traffic, or you’ve got some plugins that do a 
   whole lot of processing, then I highly doubt that your one site is crippling 
   their servers… unless their servers are cheap ones that don’t have any CPU power
   whatsoever.
 * The best advice that I could give you is to move to a real hosting company that
   has decent servers an dcan handle something more then a one-page HTML only site.
   There’s a whole lot out there so it should be easy to find. There’s some [available hosts listed here](http://wordpress.org/hosting/),
   so check those out.
