So after experiencing extremely slow delays (page load times) with my old hosting provider, I decided to move to Bluehost. For those of you interested in running your own wordpress site, it turns out that some companies don’t host wordpress and it’s database usage well, due to it’s reliance upon css to generate content to the viewer. Other companies host wordpress very well. The cool thing was the amazing lack of trouble regarding my move. Here’s what I had to do:
1. Bought an account from Bluehost for a whopping 2 cups of coffee per month ($6.99).
2. Followed this guide.
3. Called Tech support – they figured out a few problems with my admin file, but nothing major.
4. Updated my nameserver info on godaddy following this guide.
5. Now the site, as you are reading it, is on bluehost and is MUCH MUCH faster. I wish I had done this a long time ago.
* I am not compensated for advertising these guys, I’m simply a happy customer!
