About that Halloween related comic: Its getting pushed to the usual time, Monday. Had a mild head cold earlier in the week and it’s just better for all of us if I don’t try to draw in that state. Don’t worry, though, the comic should stand just fine on it’s own, Halloween or no.

Also, the site’s been getting hammered lately and I can’t tell where it coming from. Apparently I STILL don’t have that CPU quota thing nipped. Grrr. I’ve been using WP-Cache and a Database optimizer, but something’s still overtaxing the host. Or perhaps I should look into other hosts that offer more CPU cycle leeway? Any affordable suggestions?

I hope it's just a conscious use of creative license to get two syllables for the quote.

First of all, I really like all your posts. I always find very interesting, great and useful information in your blog. Sometimes I read the older ones like now because I like to observe all events which had happened to you. Your writing style is so interesting and it really attracts me. Thanks a lot for this and I will be waiting for other attractive posts from you in the near future.

Avoid hosts that use popular control panels such as cPanel and Plesk that require little effort to install, as it shows the inexperience of the company and their lack of knowledge when it comes to optimising their servers and dealing with clients. Try and find a host that uses its own panel software or a less well known option such as LxAdmin. A host using LxAdmin is far more likely to offer a stable, optimised hosting service due to the low resource usage of the panel itself and the high amount of customisation that is allowed, unlike with cPanel which uses masses of resources and tightly restricts the management of the server.

Continuing from my previous post, if you'd like to trial the performance of LxAdmin you're more than welcome to contact me and I can sort out some free space for you to experiment with.

Mark's right, it's definitely reddit and digg. Well done!

The Lego execution comic of yours was recently on Digg.com and Reddit.com, two majore social news sites. That's what is giving you tons of traffic ;)

Don't go Dreamhost. It's really only your luck that gets you a decent shared hosting server there. I have a shared hosting account on DH, and it works fine, but a friend's DH shared hosting account was VERY VERY slow. If you plan on getting a VPS, they work just fine though.

Perhaps you could try moving to a better performing platform with your current host? A Python based solution rather than PHP based could run a lot better.

I agree that ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache is better. As for Dreamhost, I don't know if their CPU quota is better. All I know is that they offer unlimited domains, DBs, and huge everything else. In case you're interested here is a coupon code for their max discount, I think it's $50 or so: MAXDREAM

Try wp super cache - it generates actual HTML documents and uses extra-fancy mod_rewrites to direct your users dynamically to it, dramatically reducing your CPU load.

As far as hosts go, check out Dreamhost. (http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?285110) They're dirt cheap, don't give you CPU quotas, and have a promotion for unlimited storage and bandwidth going on right now.

PS Great comic, keep it up.
