Their VP servers (http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-vps.html) seem like a good deal considering you can adjust the server resources to match your needs. Was the hosting account you had a Dreamhost shared or a VP server? How are you liking MT now? Do you have to do all the maintenance at MT yourself? Hey Venukb,

Your post is definitely motivating me to checkout Webfaction ! Just checked on their pricing, its almost as expensive as MT right ? Dave,

See http://www.istherefood.com/2008/03/27/webfaction-versus-media-temple/ for a comparison between the two (in short, WebFaction is much faster).

And as harish mentioned if the site was still slow after paying 14 $ I better go for the 30 day money back option :) @Anand I agree paying for a year is like being imprisoned for that period.. but the savings are worth that trouble for me as of now :) @Vasu, thanks for checking as always :) @Raj, You did not mention your hosting cost.. guess you didn't want me to feel miserable :) Random Images ? Its a feature of this theme and I do intend to make use of that big space for some other purpose, as of now if its grabbing users attention, that is all I need :) Thanks to all of you for checking on the loading speed !

Thats something I wish for my blog too but at my current hosting's cost, I am happy! I have one question though - What's with the random pictures on the sidebar? The site does load faster now.

I think your speed woes are over now. At some point, I used to feel lazy to comment on the posts since it was slow :) It is kinda expensive though...I pay about 8$ a month @ hostmonster. It works well for me since I have unlimited addon domains...But someone was telling me the other day that paying for a year is a bad idea since you have already paid, the support goes down the drain :) Either ways, keep us updated....good luck. I cannot even imagine moving all my sites! Too much work to bother about. Thats a quick load. I think your speed woes are over now.
