    Hey… I posted about this awhile ago but then I got busy. Now I am looking at it again.
    My website is running terribly slowly and I have no idea why. First I thought it was the referrer script so I took it out. Then I thought it was the amazon media manager in the sidebar so I took the call for it out, even though it is still installed in the backend. No good. Still slow as molasses. There are some other plugins on there. php giggle, livepress, etc… I have no idea what exactly is making the site load so slowly. Any advice would be great.
    Should I post this also in the plugins section?
    Thanks!

    yeah they were unhelpful out about it … by the time i got an email response, the problem was gone and they claimed to have no way to look into it. they referred me to IM support when it happens again. problem is, their IM people are insanely dumb.

    fyi the company is hostgator — good value, so-so (sometimes good, sometimes horrible) support.

    i will see what i can do to figure this out. if it’s a plug-in, it will be hard to identify, since when the problem arises i’m effectively locked out of the admin panel (it times out).

    yeah i’ve heard pretty good reviews of dreamhost. def. an amazing value. ::cough:: overselling ::cough::

    but seriously, how do you like their control panel?

    i’m used to cpanel/whm and would rather stick with it but am curious.

    Yeah, they’ve been accused of overselling before, but they bought some new hardware and it’s starting to even out. The only problem remaining is that their 24 hour-reply support appears to be the new 36 hour-reply support. As for their Control Panel, I like it a lot better than cPanel. You can tour it here: http://www.dreamhost.com/panel/
