You can bet your FiddyP I am going to add this to my file tonight. One question, does this also affect other sites beside the ones you have listed? I use HostICan. I had thought about BlueHost but decided against it due to the popularity of it. HostICan has done well by me. I don't know about importing or anything but it is worth checking out. Keep up the terrific work, Andy. I am rooting for you. <em>Mark @ TheLocoMono's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thelocomonowebsite/~3/207637024/' rel="nofollow">Testing New Plugins</a></em> Amazing article, Andy.

I cannot figure out what the problem is. I want to start my new site but with only one site causing bandwidth issues, two sites would clog it up. I have been on the phone with my host no less than 20 times this month. I use the wp-cache plug in but that doesn't seem to help. I don't know how to correct mysql queries and having my host telling me to adjust them by myself has me irritated. On most hosts I've seen, you can import any word press blog as long as it's 2 MB or smaller. Mine is 4 MB. If I change hosts...and it only allows a 2 MB import...how do I import one much larger? I read some tutorials but they are complicated...requiring vast knowledge of both php and mysql. Blue host told me I may need to spend several hundred dollars an hire a database engineer!!!!!! <em>Bobby Revell's last blog post..<a href='http://revellian.com/2007/12/21/merry-christmas-to-my-blogging-buddies/' rel="nofollow">Merry Christmas To My Blogging Buddies</a></em> I am really frustrated with my blue host account…most people who have accounts with them are not having the same problems I am.

I'm doing ok with heartinternet reseller package at the moment, over 30 domains all working fine with their own hosting for 2 years now. I think I will look into a dedicated server for next year though, I'm worried about ease of use though as I've never configured one before. bobby: I’d love to have a dedicated server!

I have had a load of bandwidth issues with my host, so I must preserve every bit I can. I had a tag cloud in my side bar which I had to remove as it was sucking me dry (that sounds quite disturbing...hahaha) Blue host told me to go through all of my mysql errors and individually tweak each individual query...hahahahahahaha!!! What? Are they insane? When they are advertising that you can have unlimited domains on one account..they failed to mention running just one domain may be too much for their servers to handle. I think I'm going to go with a dedicated server sometime soon:) <em>Bobby Revell's last blog post..<a href='http://revellian.com/2007/12/21/merry-christmas-to-my-blogging-buddies/' rel="nofollow">Merry Christmas To My Blogging Buddies</a></em> Nice post Andy!
