Guess I just need to chime in here. I am experiencing HORRIBLE speed issues on my completely Stock GoDaddy CP Install of WP (acutally I installed the Maintenance Mode addon for now until I can get the problems resolved). I also have a subdomain for my son there that is running Drupal and it is just as bad. I emailed support and complained about the speed, and also mentioned this thread in my email. I let them know that my renewal is due in a couple of months and that I’m seriously considering finding another host because the speed issue is not acceptable.

This is their Support reply:
hanks for contacting Online Support. I have tried to visit your sites, but it appears that you have them in “Maintenance Mode” so I was unable to duplicate the issue. The two software programs that you are running on your hosting account are database driven, that being said we do not provide database optimization. The most common problems with latency on WordPress and Drupal sites are related to databases not being optimized.

In respect to your databases and optimization, you may wish to consult with a community forum online or do a search on your favorite search engine as other users may have encountered a similar problem in the past and may offer helpful solutions.

Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.

Sincerely,
Andrew P.

Obviously they didn’t look at both of them, as only one of the sites is in maintenance mode. I guess they don’t want my business after all. I’m going to have to look for a host, more than likely on a shared server since that is all that I can afford- so I’m hoping to find one that can offer acceptable speed for a decent price. It’s a shame though.
