I have some hosting with Dreamhost that is sitting around doing nothing until it expires in February. If you are interested, I can check the details and get back to you about the possibility of handing it over to you. How long have you got to go on your plan Robert?

I had a look at the code on wordpress and it is doing a lot of DB queries in a not particularly efficient manner. Rob, I suspect the biggest problem is the comment display on the RHS of the blog.

There are so many economical and efficient hosts around now that there is no need to put up with poor service and most of them require no more than a month's notice to cancel. Pity about the long-term deal with pow as there reputation is not the best. Sorry, Robert, I did not mean to offend.

I wrote it in the early hours after a few pinots. When I woke up this morning, I decided it didn't make sense without a fair bit of argument to back it up - and I'm out at uni today attending a series of meetings so I won't have time to flesh it out.

Running LP in a subdomain, particularly with this traffic, is probably not the best idea either.
