06/26/2008: "Need New Hosting Info"

Isn't this always the way... Helio got shut down today by our host.

I'm writing you about your database, efic_helioarchive. The database was
causing some severe load on the mysql server, it seems from some very slow queries, which Itried to fix but they are still taking way too long to finish. Disabling your [redacted] table so these queries don't run drops the load from 140 to 2 on the mysql server, so unfortunately it is your database. I'm afraid your mysql needs have outgrown shared hosting and you will need to update to a VPS or dedicated solution.


I am looking into some ways around it, but am also looking for information on virtual or dedicated hosting that isn't too expensive, as I am mostly paying for it myself with a few donations.
