How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?

I am frustrated to no end with my current hosting provider, mediaTemple. Yes, they are flashy, and have some decent degree of flexibility with their GS plan, which I have. But anytime I install a site that needs a database, it is slow. like really slow. Taking anywhere from 10 - 15 seconds just to load a page.

I would host in house, but there are a lot of complications that come with a LAMP server that I don't want to deal with. Honestly, I'd rather spend the time developing.

What can you recommend?

    Are you sure it is the database server and not something else on the server or the code? What kind of benchmarking have you done?

  • This is always an issue with mediaTemple. Whether I install wordpress, drupal, or write a simple script such as user registration, it is extremely slow. I've had MT for 2 years and thought that maybe it was me... doesn't seem to be the case.

  • I've run trace route on multiple domains to see if that was the case for slowness, no tests other than that.

You're load times might come from your bandwidth allowance.

Host Monster

I've used Host Monster for all of my projects. It has a huge bandwidth allowance including up to 5 Tb of storage, and it's pretty cheap.

I use hostek.com to host dozens of my sites. I run ColdFusion 9 and SQL Server, but they have many other configurations available, including PHP and MySQL.

I have a developer account. I get five distinct sites for $25 per month. Each sites gets its own database. Additional sites are like $4 each.

I have had zero issues with the company over the course of a year.

You can check one of my sites out here:
