    Optimising Joomla website

    Yes - I have that but I think some of the issues are more convoluted than that can handle. My host says that the database is under some strain, but I'm not sure where to start with regards to analysing where the issues are.

    Optimising Joomla website

    Hi - I've been having semi-regular problems with my Joomla-based site. While some of those are host-based (which I'm dealing with elsewhere) I think I'm overdue getting an expert in to make sure the site is optimised best - particularly with regards to speed. I have a good understanding of...

    Looking for a new host

    Managed for sure - I'm not that technical. I've built the website, but I'm banging up against the limits of my understanding. Diskspace circa 30-40gb (5-6 on the SQL server alone at the mo). Bandwidth circa 700GB - but with room to grow. Re peak traffic - fair point, but the problems...

    Looking for a new host

    I'm currently with tsohost - but I've had regular problems with them which take days to fix. The latest has happened during one of the biggest traffic days for us - so was a bit of a disaster. So I'm looking to change. We have a VPS with them - and a Joomla based site, with about 200K monthly...
