Do we have access to set cron jobs if we host with Total Choice?

Dang... that was fast!

 

I posted two minutes ago and already you're responding. Whoa!

 

Anyhow... I was coming back to write that I had just found my question answered in a previous post. I don't know why the search function didn't pull up the post for me... but that's neither here nor there.

 

I was wondering if someone at TCH could help me out...

I've got a site that is almost entirely database driven. PHP pulling queries from MySQL. I'd be happy to give you the address so you can check it out to better answer my question:

 

On a shared hosting plan... even a top notch plan... should I expect that at certain times during the day that scripts and queries take a long time to execute?

 

My current hosting provider gives me a lot of logical reasons as to why my site is slow at times but I keep hearing how fast PHP and MYSQL is supposed to be.

 

I wrote a timing script for a couple of my pages to see how long it was taking the scripts to execute. Sometimes it's less than a second... and other times it takes 20 sec, 40 sec... even 80 seconds!

 

Before I go through the hassle of changing hosting companies... I'd like someone to set my expectations to a realistic level.

 

If my database driven site can load pages in six seconds or less... I'll be SOOOO happy. But if I just need to put up with a slow site because of running a database generated site on a shared host... well, at least I'll know.

 

Sorry for the long winded post... but I'm currently paying big monthly fees for 3 sites... not a problem if the pages loaded fast.

 

Please let me know if you would like the url to give me your opinion.

 

(About 6,500 pages of which 200 or so static, the rest dynamic)
