Is your Wordpress blog killing your virtual hosting server? That might be because your host is running suPHP. Instead of using threads and forked processes your server is opening a new instance of PHP for everything it is serving. This is killing your server. You need new hosting and I suggest you go with CyberWurx.com. I just made the switch and my server load went from 2.10 - 3.75 down to .04 - .10. My page loading times went from .75 - 2.45 seconds to .12 - .64 seconds! And they are pretty damn cheap! My old host blamed everything on WP! Oh, and they have very reasonable SEO packages too!
Now lets talk about bandwidth. Got a blog that is taking off and you are enjoying your current hosting plan and don't want to make any changes just yet? Get on over to MaxCDN.com. They will speed up your blog loading times, reduce your server load, sell you dirt cheap bandwidth and actually increase the page views of your blog!
What does having a MaxCDN account do for you specifically?
* For only $39.95 you can get 1TB of bandwidth to start playing with right now. Use the GFY coupon code and it drops the price to $29.95. How do you not try this out?
* Now that you have a MaxCDN account your .js, .css, .gif, .jpg, .mpeg, .wmv, etc files are being served by the MaxCDN network which frees your server up to deliver the index page and other content pages only. This will cut your bandwidth in half if you are only serving images and as much as 90% if you are serving videos. (don't know why you'd do that when sponsors will host them for you).
* MaxCDN is a global network. Your surfers in Europe wil be receiving their content from European servers, heck, even your US and Canadian customers will be loving it because people in Oregon get their content from Seattle based servers while people in Miami get their content served from Miami!
Are you a businessman or a hobbiest? Do you do this for a living or just to pass the time? Get your sites on the CyberWurx network and then kick it into high geer with MaxCDN! Your surfers will thank you! |
