    Thanks for that, Kevin. It didn’t activate straight from the install, but when I went to installed plugins, I was able to activate it from the list.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Putting MySQL onto an SSD drive is an interesting idea that I hadn’t considered, and it could solve the problem. Having a separate MySQL drive has solved the problem before when the database was under heavy load.

    I know the problem is caused by the 3 non-WP sites, and I also know it’s the way they access the database that puts the server under heavy load. The databases are already optimised as far as they can be to reduce this. (I worked with a very experienced server admin a few years ago, and he showed me how to optimise the databases. Unfortunately, I’ve lost contact with him, or I would be asking him for advice now.) Also, when I look in process manager in WHM, MySQL is using a larger percentage of CPU and memory than all other processes put together. I’m looking now at a very quiet time. The major slow down takes place during the US late afternoon and evening.

    I’m not sure if you mis-read my post. I already have a dedicated server, with root access. All the websites running on the server are my own, so any additional costs come out of my own pocket.
