Loading time on 1and1 shared hosting

[tonot]

Hello and thanks in advance.

I have just installed zencart on my 1and1 server and I am really surprised to find it soooo slow. Like this, I wouldn't be able to use it...

I have a shared IP sure but all the other sites I have are super fast. And they are all dynamic websites.

Are there any settings I need to tweak?


Thanks/regards

What are the others based on?

please do a quick search for your host on these forums and you will find many responses just like yours,

ZC is mysql intensive, and when servers are overloaded with accounts it can cause an issue

The hosting company is pretty big and fairly reliable.

What should I do? It's too slow to work with...

You have 2 choices - change hosts or change programs ...

I am happy with the host. If I were to change program, what would you suggest?

I have less than 50 products to load.
