I've had to lose most of my plugins

Hi.
I've just moved my Wordpress site to hostagator and I have immediately had to lose 10 plugins because they were too resource hungry.

Are all hosts like this, my site is rubbish without the plugins.

thanks for any help

 

Did hostgator tell you this? This does sound like rubbish. What were the plugins?

 

Do you mean that the site was loading too slowly? Also, did you try 000freehost or hosting yourself?

 

Hi. I did list the plugins and the email from hostgator but the post has gone.
No the site kept giving an error and Hostgator told me it was because I had too many plugins running. and I was exhausting my PHP memory limits.

 

Get a larger hosting account. Sounds like you have the very cheapest option that they have.
I have heard of this before from some hosts, but mostly from free hosts.
You can increase your php memory limit, but it involves restarting the server which you don't have access to, and I'm sure based on what you said, they won't allow you to do.

It would really help to know what plug ins were giving you the error, otherwise we really can't help you.

 

Hi. I did list the plugins but admin must of deleted them.

No probs I have moved host now, and all seems well again.
Hopefully in a couple of months I will be able to afford a VPS account with no limits.

thanks for the help fellas.

 

VPS has limits too, but it is slightly better than a shared hosting account...depending on who you host with.

 

Ask your web host provider which plugin is eating too much resources.

 

I did ask but they weren't going there.

 

my recommendation is to get in good with someone local - perhaps JV with them and then you can skype /ring them as ask them to reboot the server! Thats what i've done so now i don't have any issues with hosting (thank goodness)

 

so you are saying that when you moved your site over to hostgator you had to ditch alot of your plug ins? I've never experienced that with any of my blogs on hostgagtor.

 

Hi hmansfiled,
why would it require him to restart his server? It can simply be done by adding it in his php.ini and then killing the fcgi process from process manager. I dont know about hostgator, but I installed xcache on my shared Bluehost server and after modifying the php.ini file, I was pretty much able to kill the fcgi process. The fcgi process starts automatically when you hit your url from the browser.

So, it is not clear to me why it would require him to restart his server. Would you mind elaborating?

Cheers.

 

You have nothing to do if hostgator do not allow them,
they will requite you to optimize your site and theme anyway.
how about to migrate your blog to another web host?

 

I had the same problems with a lot of hosting providers.

Than i decided to learn how to administrate a vps/dedicated server and now i have none of this problems anymore.
And they cost the same as regular shared hosting.
