    Hey,

    This morningmy site http://free-stuff-finder.com/ is going VERY slow. It's getting "page cannot be displayed" most of the times i try loading it.

    I can occasionally get to a single post page (try http://free-stuff-finder.com/gift-card-deals/i’m-giving-away-5-free-500-gift-cards/) , but that goes slow too. But the home page is just terrible.

    the site is a wordpress blog running 2.3.1. I can get into my admin section just fine.

    Not sure why this is happening. It was working fine yesterday and i have not made any changes.

    Please help! thanks!

    Just a guess but is your mysql server remote? It may be that slowing it down and the admin section might not need as much mysql info.

    Godaddy isn't known for excellent hosting.

    GoDaddy provide OK hosting but you would be better off going with www.hostgator.com they are very reliable, fast, large and cheap.

    They also have great support.

    It might just be that another user is overloading your server with a runaway script or using loads of BW but you should contact your hostings support and they should be able to sort it out,

    Wait I was considering GoDaddy myself. Could you please explain why you would not recommend it. I was going to give them around $200 for hosting because of their extremely cheap prices.

    They are not very professional. Good for domains, bad for hosting.

    Their hosting is quite slow, not many features and not a very good customer support.

    I know hosting that gives 600Gb space, 6000Gb Bandwidth, unlimited features (emails etc.), great support and more for $7.95 per month, or 350Gb space and 3000Gb bandwidth for $4.95 per month.

    If you want their URL feel free to PM me.

    It's not loading for me too. Contact your host for support and ask them to check the logs .
