A couple weeks ago, I found a host called your-site.com They offered:

50 MB Disk Space 25 POP3 E-Mail Accounts
6 Gigs Transfer Daily Tape back-ups
E-Mail Control Panel Frontpage 2000 Extens.
Private Logs RealAudio & RealVideo
Detailed Statistics 99.9% Guaranteed Uptime
24/7 FTP Access Money Back Guarantee
Your own cgi-bin

All for only $6 a month. But when I try to look at my site, it seems painfully slow. Too slow for my needs.

***********Please take a look at my site and tell me if it loads slower than it should be******** url: www.weaponfactory.com

Otherwise, what else would offer similar features, and is significantly faster perferably under $10 a month.

Thank you.

Loads fast for me. I do not like their error files:


Document not found
The requested document was not found on this server. This could be for a variety of reasons, including:
You followed a broken or out-of-date link.
You entered the URL incorrectly.
The file no longer exists.
If you followed a broken link, please inform the owner of the referring document.
If you have any queries about this error, please e-mail webmaster@weaponfactory.com.

Did they had to put that last part? I mean you payed for your service, this isn't free service you are getting.

Are you aware of the spelling errors on your site?? Definitely doesn't help the credibility of your business. ;)

Err... I am asking this because your post/reply is right under mine.

You are referring to my site or the thread starter's site?

Thanks.

sorry, was referring to weaponfactory.com.

"catagories" should be "categories" I believe...

...and almost all of your pages are loading up "Page not found" for me.

Loaded fine for me too.

103 ms ping ...not bad :cool:

So what's the problem? Maybe your internet connection was having problems? Most of the times this seems to be the cause.

If you are using windows OS for your PC, go to -> Start -> Program -> MS-DOC Prompt then type in the following:

ping www.whateverdomain.com

or

ping ipaddress

For traceroute, type the following:

tracert www.whatever.com

or

tracert ipaddress

Hope this helps ;)

I just pinged my site about 5 times in a row, and got over 300ms each time. I don't think that is good.

Are you on dialup? If so the pings will be slower.

I got an average ping of 47ms.
