hostgator is being gay (might wanna leave them)

Ironically something else HG is doing to my servers (or allowing to happen by bad neighbors) is keeping me occupied right now. No time to search at present as I'm basically forced to switch Caching plugins on every blog I own. ;( Thank goodness for uBot.
I had to go through this shit with them 3 weeks ago. My sites were running fine for months and then all of the sudden they completely slowed down. I contacted support and they rewarded my initiative by completely shutting down all my sites until I installed SuperCache on each blog.
When I pressed as to root cause, they wouldn't provide any details. They claimed my CPU usage was too high, but it does not make sense.
If you were running on a dedi with db and logs on an ssd you wouldn't need the caching crap.
new standard .. say who?? stop bullshiting me, i've seen several other company where I could get my hand on dedicated IP $2-$3 per month. I've yet to see a company that requires cert with IP. I think they are just trying to lay their hand on bigger profit margin. I think I might have found my solution with Nexcess. Double up Aluminum HG plan price, but they seem strong. Hell if they can handle my heavily db query magento site, they should handle all these mini wordpress sites fine. I'm gona wait a bit longer to see if I hear from anyone else tho
I thought XsitePro is all HTML instead of wordpress? How are you installing caching plugin, did you write your own?
sorry for jumping the thread here and you prob got the answers you need - and I know fellow network guys would argue and will (i dont deny it) that having a gazillion dinky shared plans is the safest way to go.
But I have 400 sites across 6 or maybe 7 now seo hosting companies and a good number of different c class blocks represented in those -
yes i use hostgator's seo hosting for one of those providers - only cause their uptime is solid, but even there i pay the extra for ded ips and only host one site per ip...
my dedi is elsewhere and it rocks... i pay right now 1500$+ a month in hosting yes, bit when you look at how many ips i have (actually it is def. more than 400 prob closer to 450 or 475) and the ded server is quad core i7 with 16gb ram and fast connection and TB of storage... you kinda dont have to wory about the crap of dinky shared plans anymore...
IP prices went up across the board in december - lucky for me i have a bout 300 with grandfathered pricing that is pretty cheap, but my top recommendation is go to seowebhosting.net and at least get a vps - you might pay more now but you'll benefit in many ways for a long time to come.... especially given the google shit shakeups this month having your own network is the way to go.
