Been meaning to ask....

Don't pine, Noa. He won't tell me his personal information, he won't get together with me when I go to DC and he is a total hermit.

So. Doesn't matter if you live 40 minutes or 40 hours from this guy.  Either way, we don't get to meet him.

One thing to keep in mind is that this site is a shared hosting account.

What this means is that our domain sits on the same physical machine as other domains/sites.  Us paying for what is called dedicated hosting in which we have a server all to ourselves is far too expensive.

Now, what ~this~ means is that if we so happen to share our server with another site that is pegging the server's cpu, is using a lot of bandwidth, has a script that is going haywire, or whatever, other sites on the same server will suffer.  It also could be that the machine we are on is at capacity.  For example, if our site sits on the same server as ... oh ... a very very popular porn site .... or a site that some script kiddie out there is trying to dos, out of spite, then other sites on the same physical box will feel slowdowns ... not just the one doing/being the naughty.

This is why it is imperative that if there is a major slowdown for someone, they note exactly what time  it is, and note exactly how long it took them to load a page.  With this information, a support ticket can be opened with our hosting company and they can investigate the matter.

At 3:45am PST(or what ever it is now) It took almost 3 minutes each for 3 pages to load.
Grr.
I'm the XO. And I want this not broken NOW. 
Or whenever.
