Anyone have experience with shared hosting?
I have a website for a funeral home that is using a shared hosting plan. It's a fairly simple site; mostly static pages, a couple of pages that pull info from a SQL server database to display obituaries and merchandise, and an admin section for adding the obituaries and merchandise. The website uses a maximum of 200Mb data transfer per month (averaging 100Mb/month) and a maximum of 15 users per day.
I have had problems with the speed and assumed it was my connection and not the server. But recently I included a comments and suggests form and have received several comments saying that the pages were loading incredibly slow, all from people with cable connections.
Tech support at the hosting company say the server is running fine and always suggest upgrading to the plan that includes dedicated app pools.
So my questions are:
With what I assume is a site with very low resource demands, should I need a dedicated app pool?
Is there a way to accurately test the speed of the server?
The url to the site: http://salemfh.com - any criticism is welcome.
