    I'm from the UK and it loads as quickly as ever. When people in the US say it's *slow*, they probably mean it's *slower* than it was when the DC was located 100 miles away

    I installed Adblock Plus now and the speed is somewhat like it was before with ads running.

    WHT Moved from RackSpace to SoftLayer

    I find it interesting that WHT has moved from RackSpace to SoftLayer - I use SoftLayer personally and they are a *fantastic company* and in my own opinions RackSpace has always been way too expensive.

    Code:
    root@server [~]# host webhostingtalk.com
    webhostingtalk.com has address 174.37.71.235
    webhostingtalk.com has address 174.37.84.67
    
    root@server [~]# host 174.37.71.235
    235.71.37.174.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 174.37.71.235-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
    
    root@server [~]# host 174.37.84.67
    67.84.37.174.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 174.37.84.67-static.reverse.softlayer.com.

    I agree, but I really wonder how good their support is.

    I wonder what kind of set-up they have at SoftLayer - with the correct set-up WHT would certainly fly on Softlayer's network.

    I'm experiencing the same, it seems WHT is a bit slow today.
    Wonder why they are moving away from Rackspace.

    Why is the 'powered by rackspace' still there?

    Likely due to the "hack" fiasco along with SoftLayer being a *fantastic* company and quite a bit cheaper than RackSpace... Those are my guesses.

    Likely due to the template being customized and the least of their worries I would imagine

    Are you saying 'now' as when you were posting that? Or 'now' as in 'all the time'?
    There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

    I have been having intermittent problems connecting to WHT today and had posted in another thread. Tracert looks fine, it seems like sometimes pages/site become unresponsive (click to open in a new tab, tab hangs). I have tried it with a few browsers…same. Posting is also hit/miss for hanging page.

    "Now" referring to the time of the post you quoted.

    all the time honestly. sometimes page loads take over a minute.

    As before, I'm in the UK and loading times are *always* very quick. Which probably suggests that the connection issues mentioned above are only affecting certain regions of America?

    What's about the housewarming party? When? Where? What to take along? Will the credit cards be accepted (I mean, as a gift)?

    On a serious note: I’m on Safari 4 now, and every single page is loading just indefinitely.

    It was better on Safari 3 during the day, but now and then a page could just stop loading.

    Agreed 100%. Other sites load just fine.. WHT however loads incredibly slowly.

    For me, WHT seems to be going through phases since the Softlayer move. The vast majority of the time (9 times out of 10) it is much faster than before. For the remaining 1, I can get page or post hangs lasting one or two minutes.
