We've recently upgraded servers due to a history of problems with slowness and database errors from the last hosting company's server.

If anyone experiences anything out of the ordinary, please report it to me so I can fix it.

Thanks,

Chris H.

Are you using vbulletin css with the SEO?

I think the css is relatively unchanged from the standard vb software. I used vbseo to make the url's more search-friendly.

We're now hosted on a dedicated server, by a company called LiquidWeb. They have been incredible so far.

Unlike shared hosting, other people's websites and stupid mistakes by shared hosting companies won't be able to interfere with the site anymore. I've had some really bad experiences in the last few months with two companies, Aplus.net and Media Temple. MT in particular has had a few Weeks straight of bad latency problems.

The new dedicated server has some other sites of mine on them as well, but they don't use many resources, and I monitor them closely. It's not to say we'll never have a problem again; I'm sure we will. But I have a lot more ability to control over server environment now, to prevent issues and recover quickly.

I think it does seem a little quicker so far too.
