THEN… you up-sell me on your new Grid hosting. Its not supposed to be slow. Well it is. I have taken countless hours to migrate my sites from one hosting account to the other and its painfully slow. The admin interface is complicated and slow. I waste hours per week waiting on your interface.

I guess you not really interested in your customers! Godaddy is going to go the way of AOL and Myspace. You are going to get too big and top heavy. You are getting too separated from the people who made you, and then everyone is going to jump ship and leave you for dead.

Wake up and start offering premium services for those of us who need it. I don’t mind paying more just give me an easy to manage service that you don’t stuff umpteen thousand websites on a single server. Stop being so cheap!

Plus your whole admin user experience is getting too cluttered. I just want to manage my domains and my hosting accounts. You make me click like 3 links to even get to them once I log in. If I wanted complicated and worthless messages and screens in my way I would have stayed with NetSol.

I also am not interested in your dedicated accounts; the reason I use you is so that I don’t have to babysit my own servers anymore.

And please don’t come back with some rhetoric about how its just me. Its not. Many of my clients and my sites users are complaining and they are from all over the world.

I know you don’t care about me and my 3 hosting accounts and 100 plus domain names. I am just a small fish. But if anyone is listening; the writing is on the wall. And I am going to be the first to start taking my hosting business elsewhere.

Because you don’t care about the basic reasons you are in business.

All my sites are slow. Static or dynamic it does not make a difference. Loading a reasonably large graphic or a flv file or heaven forbid a Joomla site. You might as well just go get some coffee.

When you do a lookup on how many sites are on one IP address on a godaddy server it returns thousands. This is the same on all my accounts.

Also logging into your web admin is slow. Slow redraw, slow loading. I have the fastest computers with broadband connections. I am on Mac so no spyware or viruses slowing me down.

Again I pull my experience from 3 different locations. And from people who use my sites and complain how slow they are.

I am not comparing godaddy with anyone else. I hate to even touch my regular shared account. It takes forever to get anything done. My grid account is just barely functional.

FTP via a third party program is slow. And the other night it took close to a minute to even get a directory listing.

Tech support is always friendly and helpful. The issue is godaddy puts too many sites on too few resources the demand can not be met.

I am just upset because your sales team told me the solution to this problem was your grid hosting. Well its becoming just as slow as your regular shared hosting.

Then next stage is to charge me double and put a half or a 1/3 the amount of sites on one server. Maybe this is the solution. I am not going to wait long before I start migrating my websites to another provider. I have to get some work done.

Yes grid is better than regular shared. And I was one of the first Grid customer a few months back. And in the beginning it was great. But every week its getting slower and slower.

Yes I have tried hostgator regular shared account and its much better. faster and much better functionality with .htaccess and phpini But their admin interface is not as friendly. However I not regarding this as a permanent solution. because what is to stop them from overloading the server I am on in the future.

I have recently found a hosting provider named arvixe with what they call a business class hosting. Its exactly what I think I need. You pay twice as much for a shared account and they put far less accounts on a shared resource. They also have limiters in place so that if someone’s script starts to eat all the memory etc. Then it shuts that script down.

Now to the task of actually moving them.

If that did not solve your problem then here is another fix. If your brush is just not showing up completely then you can try this. Go into the control panel and under Display > select Settings > then click on the Advanced button > and then go into the troubleshooting folder.Adjust your  slider under “Hardware Acceleration” one or two notches to the left. Then your brushes display should work normally. Hopefully you will not notice much, if any decrease in performance.

I hope one of these solutions works for you.

Finder Empty Trash Preference

Have you been emptying your trash on your friendly Macintosh and it seem to take a friggin’ eternity to empty especially if you are deleting a lot of stuff. It took me a while to find it but I knew there was a setting somewhere for secure delete. I finally found it. It was in the Finder preferences. Click on the advanced tab and change the setting. If its checked then un-check and problem solved! The solution to this problem was so easy that I forgot about it at first, so I hope this post is helpful to those of you who are in need of this deceptively simple fix to the slow trash emptying problem.

I can understand the phones being busy but the apple website not working!?! Does Apple not have one of the most sophisticated websites available?!? Its very frustrating. I called AT&T support and they also have some computer issues. They can not however pre sell the new iPhone 4. Apple what is wrong with you?!? Can you not hire some extra phone order takers today? Can you not add a few more computers to handle the web traffic?

The most common reason for this problem is that the File you have uploaded is too big. The File Size Upload Limit on your Server is set too low to allow larger files to be uploaded. By default PHP allows files up to 2 MB, but this limit needs to be set to 4 MB in order to upload the Component Install File.

If you have access to the php.ini, then change or add the directive upload_max_filesize to “6M” and reload the server configuration.

Hope this helps someone
