Hey Venukb,
I'm considering a move from GoDaddy to Dreamhost. Their VP servers (http://www.dreamhost.com/ho... 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?

Shankar,
Glad you liked the theme. Its a paid theme developed by Chris Pearson. You can check on DiyThemes !

Nirmal,
Thanks for the wishes, hope the site gets some traffic matching the expensive hosting :)

I'm loving the theme over here. Where did you get it? Or did you make it yourself?

Dave,
Glad that the post would be of some motivation for your planned move (I do see that you are still on Dreamhost :) )

Bruce,
Had never heard of Webfaction till I saw your comment. Your post is definitely motivating me to checkout Webfaction !
Just checked on their pricing, its almost as expensive as MT right ?

I also recommend WebFaction ( http://www.webfaction.com ).
See http://www.istherefood.com/... for a comparison between the two (in short, WebFaction is much faster).

great to hear it worked for you, i am in the exact same position. I have had it with dreamhost and looking into MT. Thanks for sharing your experience! I have about 10 sites on dreamhost and am dreading the move.

Thanks to all of you for checking on the loading speed ! 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 :)

The site does load faster now. 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 commment freeze when submitting is also gone here now :)

Thats a quick load. 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.

Opened ur site on a browser as u wished (after a loooong time actually ;) )
It does seem faster than what it was before, but at $14 pm it should be.
