Host Speed Questions

[sheppardzwc]

I've currently got a forum set up here at http://hq.ariact.org/forums/. It's a vBulletin forum, so naturally it is demanding. As you can see it takes 10-20 seconds for a page to load depending on the connection. I use SurpassHosting.com, which has been great so far until now. If I purchased one of the shared hosting packages (Baby/Business) how fast are the typical speeds? Would the pages load almost like HostGator with around 100 visitors at one time?

Thanks.

Host Gator services are generally fast. I have a MyBB forum which you can take a look for page loading wise. (http://www.forumsrus.co.uk)

I like the speed - how often is it like what it is now? Percentage wise? 50%..60%..? I just don't want to get the hosting, and then find out it's only fast for a while - and then diminishes.

Around all the time ...

Too many variables. You can't compare two different forum apps like that, especially without taking into account mods and addons.

All Hostgator speeds are so fast, you will be happy!
