<br> Sorry if this if off-topic ...<br> <br> I've got a new client that I'm implementing a solution for, but based on the number of modules needed, I'm a bit concerned about sluggishness -- something I've been hearing complaints from my clients about with Drupal 6. <br>
<br> All my Drupal 5 sites work really fast. But the 4 Drupal 6 sites I've set up are all sluggish, especially for logged in users. <br> <br> A dedicated server is definitely a possibility if the client's business works out, but in the beginning they want to start with a shared host.<br>
<br> So my question is, has anyone found any shared hosts that a heavily-module-loaded Drupal 6 site can really fly on? <br> <br> I've tried 3 or 4 hosts by now, and all seem equally slow.<br> <br> Or is just luck of the draw? You get on a shared server without a lot of other sites and the site works great. If it's a busy server, you're out of luck?<br>
<br> Thanks,<br> Sam </div> </div> <hr>_______________________________________________<br>
