The Pentium-5 hubbub

No, its not about Intel’s new processor chip release. I usually use Pentium-5 performance in my Consulting job – everytime I speak to my clients about speed, reliable, real-time data processing.

But Pentium-5, in my Consulting jargon, is exactly the opposite of what a system with a Pentium-5 processor in it – if ever Intel is going to produce one someday, (maybe in 2010?). It is an upgrade of Pentium-Poor. It’s all about sluggishness, slow, shamefully slow performance, outrageously slow speed – in other words, just !@$#%2%$!!!#$@#$ SLOW!

Yeah, this site has been running very slowly several days now, extremely Pentium-5 performance! Yeah, that is, you click on my site, and it takes 5 minutes before it shows up! What a bummer. Well, Bendz, in his usual playful self – thanks God he’s back to his playful self, did made a very inspiring comment, yeah, I mean it, very inspiring as I am now seriously considering changing to a better hosting service.

My Web Hosting, sent me an email:

Hello,

I have checked your Web sites http://aaaaa, http://bbbbbb and http://bloggista.com and noticed that it is loading slowly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Currently, we are in a process of upgrading the MySQL servers to higher version. Hence, the customers are experiencing slowness while accessing the database. We do not have the exact time frame for resolution but we are expecting this to be done soon.

If you have any further questions, you can e-mail us seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Sincerely,

Too bad. I don’t know when they will gonna complete all these upgrades. I have noticed the sluggish performance several times over a 2-month period while they’re doing all those system upgrades. And I think it’s now time to seriously consider transferring to a better hosting service. I mean business, and I mean reliable, fast and simply better hosting.

Hey guys, if you have some suggestions on better web hosting provider, please leave your comments (with some discount coupons, even better, hehe).

Though I have to be assured of these two things:

• No downtime when transferring to the new web hosting provider
• Easy transfer of my blog and sites and databases ( I am not a techie, so this one’s kinda tough for me).
