Update (11 April): It’s been a week since I switched hosting companies, and aside from some minor start up issues, the web site and the blog have been performing admirably.
——————–
This blog has been loading excruciatingly slowly since Saturday morning. My hosting company just transitioned me to a new “platform”, which is an improvement in most ways, but the PHP based pages take forever to load. I suspect that it’s something regarding the MySQL database or making the related queries, because it is very slow for me to access the DB from behind the scenes. The rest of my site is plenty fast, and I hope they will have a solution for me Monday.
If anyone has any alternatives they’d like to suggest, and also the patience to drop a constructive comment, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
- Jon

Jon: My constructive comment is “this too shall pass”. I run into some kind of problem every one or two years – it’s just the nature of the Intertubes. You just have to keep at it until it’s fixed, then it’s smooth sailing for a year or so. If you’re looking to switch hosts, you might consider longhead. I use them.

Yeah, yeah. It’ll get better. I’ve been having nagging issues for months, like the ftp server becoming unreliable (bombing after 100K of a 5M upload) or my password being reset by itself. Last week all functionality of my account was lost with no good explanation, other than, finally, some blah blah about abusing the apache server. Well, if they can’t handle the modern PHP-driven dynamic web service, then maybe I need to find a hosting company that can.
The only thing that has saved them so far is the one tech I spoke with Saturday who admitted that these issues have been happening a lot lately, and are probably related to some major system upgrades they are implementing. If they find out what he told me, he’ll probably get fired.
