Hey,
I know there are plenty of these posts, but I'm looking specificially for a decent deal for a higher bandwidth site. We have around 300-400 members (growing daily) on our current message board.
I've been using DreamHost to host my XOOPS site, and the MySQL database servers are always lagging the site (2-8 seconds to load each page w/ 20-40 queries).
I'm looking for a new host. I run a high user site (60-100 gig transfer/month), and would sacrifice disk space for bandwidth.
I'm looking for a host that has:
- PHP/MySql support obviously for xoops
- 100 gigs of transfer
- $25/mo or less
- Faster than my current provider.
Disk space is probably around 2-300megs, but would take whatever we could get.
Thanks!

I may be looking into finding another hosting company (91 day guarantee). I'll wait first and see what they offer as a response to my question on why the sql server is running slow.
I appreciate all your help. You've definitely improved my knowledge of XOOPS, especially the caching system.
Since we may be looking into another host, anyone have a suggestion on a good fast shared host? I say shared, since we can't afford a dedicated server.

traceroute to mysql.chicagolandsrtclub.com (66.33.194.104), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

2 indianajones.gwen.dreamhost.com (66.33.194.104) 8.745 ms 9.148 ms 8.865 ms
Seems as time goes on it gets faster. I did just turn on persistent connections, and it seems to speed it up just a bit. Page loads are still averaging around 2 seconds. I'm just wondering why ours is so slow compared to everyone else getting 0.5s or faster.

Persistent connections is off.
The ping problem seemed to go away for now. Hopefully for good. Normal pings are like 10-30ms from the webserver to the MySQL server.
I'll go change the menus to not have caching. I was just trying to see what blocks caused the most delays.

Thanks for the help. I did forget to turn on block caching, so I turned that all on.
Now it's down to 2-6 seconds and 17-60 queries.
The server is run by our hosting company, so I don't really know the hardware. I do know it's running linux and apache. I also know that the MySQL server is a different box from the webserver.
The webserver is http://phpnuke.chicagolandsrtclub.com
while the MySQL server is running at:
mysql.chicagolandsrtclub.com (different IPs for both)
What we have installed mainly is phpBB 2.0 and php iCalendar. You can see it all from our site. If you want a test login, login as: user: csctemp, pass: csctemp. That should get you access as a normal user without you having to setup an account.
Thanks again!

Does this sound like a server issue? 8.5 seconds to do 40 queries seems excessive. Also, does the number of querries seem high?

Well we installed XOOPS 2.0.7 on our server, and it runs very slow. We also have a site running on the same server, but straight HTML which runs very fast. Is there something I'm missing? I have gzip turned on, and I enabled any of the caching options I could find.
XOOPS Site (Sorry about the URL, look at my last post to see why it's named that)
http://phpnuke.chicagolandsrtclub.com
Standard Site
http://www.chicagolandsrtclub.com/
Anyone can take a look at it if it helps them.
