On Godaddy you need a different host name. My wordpress is on godaddy. It works fine. You need to check one of your plugin. To find it out disable all of your plugins and activate it one by one. Anyways, godaddy is very slow these days. I am also planning to find a new hosting company. Godaddy has limited connections per account and if you reach that limit, your site will go down for a while showing error 503. Hope this helps.

Not that it helps, but I have two WordPress 2.7.1 sites running on a GoDaddy hosted virtual private server. Performance is great on both sites. There are about 8 other sites (non-Wordpress) running on this server as well.

Hey gdhosting — any status update yet? WP is still slow – should I get my money back?

Ok, so at least I am not alone, I see there are many others with the exact same issue as I have. I am willing to bail on GoDaddy right now, even with the majority of my subscription left. The question is, how difficult is it to change hosts, and who should I switch to? I have no problem paying more for better performance. I don’t even want to imagine how much I’m losing from the absolutely pitiful load times at my site.

I couldn’t care less about getting my money back, I want my site running quickly ASAP. Anyone with any info, tips, or anything, please, I am all ears.

Thank you kind internet people

in the same boat here.

working on a clients site hosted in godaddy.
I had to rebuild his entire site in html just so it would load.

godaddy works fine without wordpress… but when they get together, they don’t play nice.

now my clients site needs a blog and i must use wordpress.
truthfully, this is purely agonizing to build. plus its wasting time and money.

phone support cant talk to me, its not my account. i haven’t tried a ticket yet, i didnt think it could really be fixed. so GDhosting… if you wanna help me too, id appreciate it a whole heap…

I’m just moving over to inmotion, giving them a try. I’ll update how it goes.

Try blue host. I think its great and my site is running very well. good luck!

I’ve hosted wordpress installations on Godaddy for years and have never had a problem with the exception of the occasional lag in phpmail.
Over this weekend, I was working on one site when everything started slowing way down…on every wordpress installation on the shared linux server. Static html or images load fine, anything php dies a horrible death. It’s taking from 15 seconds to a minute and a half to load a page.
I deactivated everything I was working on on the one site, but still, changing something on one site shouldn’t slow them all down, should it? Could it?
Godaddy phone support says everything is fine and it must be the wordpress.
Add me to the list of really peeved people right now.
GDhosting: I’m going to write you and see if we can work together.
Cheers,
Christian

Just a brief comment to add some more history to this thread. I have been on GDHosting for 18 months, on WP2.7.1 since it was released (upgraded to 2.8 today) with no sustained problems with slowness. There was a brief period this week where the admin panel seemed to load slowly, but it was a brief occurrence.

Overall, the combination of GDHosting and WP has worked very well for me. And I have to say that the two or three times I’ve needed help from GD Customer Service, they have been extremely responsive.

When I was using GD my site took probably on average 3-5 seconds to load (when things were actually working well), maybe sometimes a tad quicker. Then it seemed every couple of weeks though my site would take anywhere from 5-30 seconds, and in the first 4 months there were at least 3 or 4 times where my site wouldn’t load at all. I switched over to Inmotion and virtually every time the site loads in 1 second. It’s so nice to have a responsive site now.

Hopefully the GD rep can fix your problems, I just didn’t want to mess with it anymore.

I have a hosting with WordPress and Godaddy my new personal name for it is Slodaddy as most often it takes me in the range of 30 seconds to get a page up and more for admin pages. I have to look at it as a lost investment as I will not send people to a site that to me fails by taking too long to load. I have at times had the page loading on my #2 monitor and been surprised when the page finally came up as i forgot I was trying to get to it. The free WordPress hosting is faster by far and free, I had only gone the Slodaddy route as I wanted the flexibility of the hosting option but would go elsewhere if I were looking now.

I now am looking at Laughing Squid, has anyone experienced their hosting service? What hosts would others suggest I look into?

I have contacted slodaddy in the past and got the standard excuses. I did send an email yesterday to them as the post above requests and things did load faster for a bit but I am getting the 30 sec+ again.

Anyhow blablabla time to change.

nic579,

My wordpress site was running like garbage too with godaddy, so far I’ve been very pleased with Inmotion for my host. Both of my wordpress sites take about 1 second to load, and every once in a while both of them will be inaccessible, but I don’t think that has ever lasted for more than 10 – 15 seconds. That is the only thing I can complain about with them so far, and after the pain of GOdaddy’s performance that is nothing at all.

It would be interesting to hear from the original poster of this thread and have some feedback!

Did GoDaddy help you at all? Was the issue resolved? What is the current status?

Anyone else have any feedback from GD’s hosting and support?

I have never and would never with GD due to bad feedback I’ve had. They are great for domain names and would love to see them get their hosting sorted as am gettin fed up of having to buy a domain and change DNS all the time.

@gdhosting what have you got to say? Its all good poping up once in a while offering to resolve a problem (the disappear!), what about some feedback here?

I’ve used godaddy for years, and have put up about 50 sites.

I have the same issue on blogs recently.

No help from GoDaddy either.

But from the posts and my experience, i notice that :

1 – It’s the database server as opposed to the main website server (i believe they are different). The reason it seems so is that non blog pages and resources load quickly but blog pages load slowly. Try putting up some static pages or accessing static files.

2 – GoDaddy has no idea what the problem is or isn’t about to resolve it. I wonder if it’s

3 – Has anyone tried setting up another wordpress database on the same server without any plugins … just raw and test it out? I assume that each new database install is on a different server – something to check into.

4 – Has anyone installed a few sites on another host for wordpress? I did a search for “bluehost wordpress slow load” and saw some issues there as well … tho i didn’t read deeply.

I’m about to setup another install and/or use a different host.

Please post findings/thoughts!!!
