Looking into new web hosts

Hello friendly readers,

How do you feel about the speed of my blog?  I, for one, am feeling like it’s waaaay to slow.  Especially on my photography website.  Ugh.  It hurts to watch it load.

So with my free moments this morning, I started looking at hosting alternatives.  And being myself, I started by looking for a environmentally conscientious/green hosting provider.

SuperGreen hosting is looking good to me.  They’re supposedly fast with WordPress sites, which is the platform I use for my blogs, and they use renewable energy, plant trees, and don’t run horrible ads like GoDaddy.  yeah, I’ve got to switch.

Of course, it’s more than likely that I’ll run into problems that will shut down one or both of my sites for a couple days or will keep me up until 2am staring at my computer in confusion and sadness, but in the end, hopefully this little website will run much faster for you and I’ll sleep better knowing that I’m supporting a better hosting company!

Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Warnings?  Offers of chocolate?

  1. I’d love to help you out with this.  I think you should pick out what you’re interested in and then run it by me before committing to anything (this is the kind of stuff I do professionally so I feel like my opinion means something).  I would also be happy to help you get up and running with minimal downtime.

  2. Hi Althea. Are hosting with godaddy now? There's not much slower than that. How much are you willing to spend per month? I will ask a friend about the best options, but ThinkHost looks like a decent option.
