At this time, our affordable option would be a virtual dedicated server.
Thank you for the rundown of the various pros and cons.

OF COURSE I AM IN AND HAVE BEEN IN SINCE THE VERY FIRST TIME I HEARD THE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Just tell me when and where to drop the loot.

As of 8:00 PST, it's slow again (even slower than before). I'm in WA state, if that helps track anything.

It's looking like a server upgrade will be inevitable.
Last year, we averaged over 2,600 posts per month. Year-to-date, we're averaging 100 posts per day.
That's the good news.
The fact that we're on a shared server, with 100's of sites, coupled with the fact that we have a database that's growing very rapidly, is taking its toll.
At the moment, from my location on the West Coast, we're back up to full speed.
That's probably due to much less overall traffic on the server(s).

Its official. The forum is slow on the east coast, midwest and the Great Southwest.

I've called tech support, who says it's something on their end.
I guess if there's any good news in this (not much) it's that we're still online. :S

Didn't you watch the Super Bowl???
Don't call tech support. Call and ask for Marketing -- that's where everyone is.

Shows you how effective the ad was. I'd forgotten all about that. :-)

Maybe they would like a few testimonials as to their speed to use in their next ad campaign. (devil)

I'm getting very close to saying it's time to "Go Daddy."
Hoping that's not how they came up with their name.

I've always liked Go Daddy as a registrar. This forum is my forst experience (that I know of) with them as a web host. So far I'm not impressed.
On the other hand, it's hard to find a flawless host.

Dave,
We have forum members whose hosting is through Go Daddy, who aren't having problems.
I'm losing patience, but until we can isolate the reason(s) for the extreme lag times, I won't be looking to change horses.

So it's the forum that's slow - I thought it was my computer so I got a new high speed Laptop. :-$
I guess it's ok that the forum is slow I don't read fast anyhow. :/
