Virtual servers are quite affordable. I have my sites on a xen virtual server at [http://www.slicehost.com/](http://www.slicehost.com/). The small slice is $20/mo. Cheers, Marty ---

Ha! I’m on “alberni” too, maybe it’s all the radiant site traffic that makes my site so slow. 😉 I also have one of their “container” hosting plans and it is smoking fast! (but spendy) ---

I am also hosted on TextDrive and had issues. I think someone broke their Apache config file. John, is [radiantcms.org](http://radiantcms.org) on “alberni” too? Sean ---
