I have a 1 problem.
When i visit my home page,it is very fast..thats great

but when i visit my forum in sub-domain,,

it is very very very slow…also sometimes not opening..

i wanted to ask , what is the problem about sub-domain?
how can i make it fast?
this speed problem is about mysql or another something like that?

i will wait your answers..thanks you..

Gaz,

There are dozens if not hundreds of different programs, languages, etc. that clients insist on using, often several per website with widely varying websites even amongst the same client, things break, people make mistake, technology and web capabalities are advancing at lightning speed, and shit happens, as you put it, generally once a day.

Ooh, couldn’t resist that. Terrible pun, I know.

The fact is that higher reliability requires an order of magnitude or greater financial investment with at least a virtual dedicated server (i.e., not necessarily dedicated, but close… only a few clients per box) and a dedicated support person managing the box and all programs on it.

It will still go down, so of course, you need to mirror this at at least one other data center and make sure everything is always synced. Oh, and the other data centre has to be in a completely different geographic location, on a different power grid and different Tier-1 bandwidth pipelines.

Now we’re talking at least 2 orders of magnitude greater investment. Do you have the budget for it? Neither do I.

It will still go down due to software glitches, etc. Just not as much.

I took quick looks at both wiggum and willie and both look more or less ok at the moment, though wiggum’s load has been more erratic than normal.

If you are having a problem with a server and it is not mentioned in a post here, assume it is not a known problem and contact our support team.

How come every hosting soultion i ever try ends up costing me money, time and effort and is consistently a pile of shit ??????

Because there is no such thing as 100% uptime, especially at these dirt-cheap prices. If you think you can do better, start your own hosting company and see what happens. My guess is that you’d be out of business in less than a month.

I know it’s frustrating when your site is getting hit. But for these prices, you’re getting far more support than you would at most other hosting companies. The hosting company I was with before DH cost the same, had similar downtime issues, and charged me for six months after I’d moved my sites off, until I threatened to hale them into court. The grass is always greener on the other side . . .
