I can say with certainty that as soon as I find a decent host, I&#8217;m moving again. I&#8217;ve monitored BlueHost for 10 days from June 2 &#8211; June 12 and the logs show that BlueHost is pretty much overloaded all the time. When I called their tech support, they gave me some lame excuse like \u201cIt\u2019s not unusual for servers to be overloaded during peak hours for 5-10 minutes at a time in a shared hosting environment\u201d. Since the server load coincidentally went down by the time I was done waiting for the representative to pick up, I had no choice but to wait for it to go back up before I called. Unfortunately, the minute I hung up, the server load spiked again. This is when I decided to log the server loads. The log shows that server is overloaded per on an average of 50-90% of the time. I think that is simply unacceptable. If my web page takes FOREVER to load, I no longer consider it hosted. I think it&#8217;s okay if they&#8217;re overselling, as long as they keep the load under control. I&#8217;ve heard HostGator does a decent job of this, but that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m going to switch to HostGator. I want to find an even better host. Anyways, you can take my word for it, or you can click the links to my logs of BlueHost server loads (They&#8217;re in the format of: &lt;time&gt;, &lt;server load&gt;):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-02.txt\">June 2<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-03.txt\">June 3<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-04.txt\">June 4<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-05.txt\">June 5<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-06.txt\">June 6<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-07.txt\">June 7<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-08.txt\">June 8<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-09.txt\">June 9<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-10.txt\">June 10<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jacksonleung.com\/for_fun\/logcpu\/result2008-06-12.txt\">June 11-12<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;ve been with BlueHost for a couple of 2-3 months now.
