Everything on my Startlogic hosted sites that depend on MySQL load at a crawl, especially between 7 to 5. Pixelpost pages take up to a full two minutes to load (really - I timed it), though static pages come up quickly. Their hosting used to be okay but Startlogic has been a nightmare over the last year. My sites are huge and I keep hoping things will improve so I won’t have to move them. But every week or two they do something squirrely that cripples my sites.

Wordpress is really great blog software. You can do pretty much anything with it. There are tons of themes to customize your look. There are also plugins to do about anything easily.

I hope they can work out your problems. I switched to BlueFur.com and have been extremely happy with it. My site is consistently responsive plus their customer service is great. They have a forum where you can post questions and get quick answers.

I agree the price is great. I got out of StartLogic within the 30 day money back period. I thought I might have some trouble getting the refund but they gave my money back promptly after calling them. I didn’t have to wait one hold for 30 minutes waiting to talk to someone in the billing department.

I hope they can fix your problems. Good luck!

wow - i’m having the exact same issues. my other two startlogic websites seem to be running fine but i, like you, just installed wordpress yesterday and i’m finding it to be unbearably slow. hopefully as the previous commenter mentioned, this will be cleared up by the end of the week? if not… i’m switching to another host. i only chose wordpress because i couldn’t point my blogger account to my domain due to the fact that startlogic requires an IP address for routing (blogger doesn’t provide IP for this purpose). now i’m afraid i’m caught in a catch 22. thanks for posting this - i’ll try your tips and then wait it out i guess.

I was just surfing around the Internet and got into your page with the same issue. My website runs very slow recently. At first, I thought it was because of WP, so I dropped the database and install a new one. But nothing changed. Then I figured out that it was the Database sever of StartLogic. I called them and they said: they’re fixing + install a new server; everything should be back to normal at the end of this week…Hmm, it would be fine if you owe personal website. But what if it was a commercial one that runs slow and can’t finish the transactions..
For now, i’m still stick with them until my plan expires. I’m sure there’re better hosting services but the price they offered me is very cheap: $3.5/mo for ProLogic plan. -_-!
