Then I read on this board that other people have issues when hosting with them.
I’m blogging for HuffPo, and suddenly am getting more traffic to my site, and now this. So I want to change to someone else.
Does WordPress recommend anyone? And how long does it take to migrate my stuff over to new folks? Should I just stick it out with GoDaddy for now? Or take the plunge and move it asap?
UGH.
]]>1. Presidential Debate Live Blogging
I intended to use LiveBlog to have a group of professional debate coaches posting their thoughts during the Romney/Obama debates. Cool idea, isn’t it? I installed Live Blogging and immediately saw problems (my links at the end are some error messages). I tried some chaching solutions and crossed my fingers hoping that it wouldn’t throttle things.
2. What happened
The evening of the debates didn’t do nearly as well as it should have. Google Analytics noted 265 visitors, and I received dozens of emails and FB messages saying people were not able to get in. The coaches had to post 3-6 times their blog posts to finally got online. It was a painful struggle through the commentary. Still did it, but unacceptable performance.
3. Here are links to the error pages.

I have since deleted LiveBlog. Immediately, the throttle reports from BlueHost plummeted and everything has been running great. I am now searching for another LiveBlog-type plugin. I was surprised at this problem, and more surprised that there weren’t other issues like this list.
Thought you’d like to know, and perhaps something can be fixed about it. I want to do the same for the Ryan/Romney debates. The activity was incredible!

]]>I’m working on a WordPress site and learning how to set up a server. I’ve been taking on line courses and
I have downloaded MAMP to set up Apache and MySQL . While taken one of the courses I was instructed to change my
port information 8888 to 80. After changing my port info I notice my Apache server was working but MySQL server wasn’t.
I did try resetting it back and than doing it again and nothing happen. So right now I’m stuck and don’t know what to do.
HELP!!!

I’m a little slow at this so be kind.

]]>I use Hostmonster for my WordPress site. Every day around 2:00am, the site starts going slow, and speeds up in the late morning. I uses supercache, and it generates pages in .6-.7 seconds at the fast times, and 6-10 seconds with some 15+ seconds times during the slow period. My long mySQL query logs follow this same pattern.
I’m convinced it is a server side issue, since the effect is seen on other installs (i.e. limesurvey, moodle, phplist) and on my cPanel, but the host is focusing on my long queries. They say that the long queries could affect the other installs.
My user load patterns don’t match the site slowdown, plus I watch my host’s process manger, and the site (www.Velaction.com) serves up slow even when there are no process running. (It shows the php, but not the queries, though).
There’s no consistency in my error logs–some are from plugins, and some are from the core.
(example)
# Mon Jun 28 09:05:46 2010
# Query_time: 6.922412 Lock_time: 1.785105 Rows_sent: 646 Rows_examined: 748
use DBname_wp02;
SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options WHERE autoload = ‘yes’
On a bad hour, I might get a few hundred erros. In the afternoon, I might get none, or one from a related posts query.
In the slow times, I tend to get clusters of errors, presumably from several queries on the same page being run. Most of my pages generate between 30 and 40 queries with the plugins I have.
Speaking of plugins, I’ve tried disabling them (or all the ones that don’t break the site when I turn them off), and there is no difference. I’ve also optimized and repaired my database.
I couldn’t find any link between something I installed and the slowdown–just started happening.
Again, I don’t get the volume of traffic that I would expect to make this a problem.
By the way–I’m pretty much a hack, mostly copying code and doing a few basic tweaks. It’s possible I put some bad code somewhere, but I don’t know why the same page would load 10 times faster in the afternoon if that was the case.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jeff
I’m on a shared server with AN Hosting and the performance usually sucks. Google webtools has given me several “high response time” warnings. It generally takes 5 to 10 seconds for a page to load on my site.
I feel like all the hosting companies make a lot of promises but I can’t tell who actually delivers.

Thanks
