    Hi

    I have just upgraded my hosting and the directory is still running slow and sometimes when adding a new listing I get an error message saying lost connection and backing up in the browser. Wondering if and when I get an increase in traffic the site will just fall down

    Is there a recommended criteria for hosting which I can check with my current hosting company for speed?

    Are there any recommendations for being able to speed things up too or taking off a load? I am using cloudflare and w3 total cache already

    Thanks

    Hi,

    What is ur hosting spec at the moment, and where are u based? I would ditch w3 total cache, it will just cause problems…

    OK there are no server specs listed there, i would not go with this host IMO.
    If you want to stay UK based managed hosting then i would recommend one of these, (even start cheapest and upgrades as needed) https://www.webhosting.uk.com/vps-hosting.php

    If you want to go dedicated i would not use them, but rather go with something like this http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex40 and then pay for a cheap server management from somwhere else.

    have you any experience with https://www.webhosting.uk.com/vps-hosting.php – just thinking about technical support etc as we are looking to bolt on Magento to a different site which uses GeoDirectory
