[Hidden-tech] SLOW wordpress site on GoDaddy - hosting solution?

[Sarah Meikle]

Hi Hidden-Techies

I have created a Wordpress site (currently being hosted by GoDaddy) that is
painfully slow and I am seeking any recommendations on how to rectify this.
 I have tried various caching solutions but the improvement was marginal at
best.  I have also stripped away any superfluous plug-ins and optimized all
graphics but the site is still crawling along.

Would upgrading my service with GoDaddy or switching to another hosting
company rectify this?  (I am currently using GoDaddy's Shared Economy
Hosting on a Linux server.)  I have heard that GoDaddy is not the best
hosting company for Wordpress sites anyhow and, in fact, I have already
experienced some pitfalls as a result of hosting with them that I have not
experienced elsewhere.  Anyone have an experience/advice on the best service
to use?

Any other advice regarding Wordpress/speed?  I have only recently begun
producing Wordpress sites (though I have produced HTML/Flash sites for
years) and this is certainly the most elaborate Wordpress site I have
designed thus far.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you.

All the best
Sarah
