--I know this is hostingish related but deals directly with amember hope it fits in this category-- Just curious how amember interacts with page loading times I am using wp integration. I am assuming that when a page is loaded wp asks amember if they can see that page and the amember responds with a yes or no to the content of that page based on logged in/subscription status. I am setting this site up on dreamhost and right now it is on a shared hosting plan. Is this normal? a pingdom test show a 5.5 second "wait" time when loading a page on my site. One protected video nothing else. On another protected page I am getting a total of 8 second page load time. On my main home page that is not protected/no protected content I am getting load time or right around 1 second. Is this just a "quit using crappy hosting and upgrade to a VPS situation"? Any suggestions/reccomends? Hopefully this dosen't start a who is the best hosting company discussion just looking for input on upgrading to a VPS and any recommendeds for cpu ram etc.
No this is not normal. In order to provide a solution I need to check your installation and protection configuration. Please contact us in helpdesk with this issue.
Yes, I resolved the issue by transferring the site off of a vps at dreamhost(which I activated in hopes of speeding things up) to my standard shared hosting account at hostgator. Should have never thought the grass was greener on the other side.
Sorry. I have been working on another problem and my mind is spinning. What I meant to ask is are you on the "Hatchling Plan", the "Baby Plan" or the "Business Plan"?
I must be on the baby plan. Had the account forever so I have to look. Have more than one domain so that rules out the hatchling plan and I don't have a toll free number to that rules out the business plan. I would like to move to a vps eventually.
Dreamhost? Jesus... people still host sites on there? Holy smokes... no wonder you were having those issues. Could've been a lot worse too
