hi, does hostmonster offering higher cpu upgrade option? (same as bluehost)

few of my websites here are growing, and thinking to do some speed/performance upgrade.

I would also be interested in the possibility of this.

I have said it a million times and I will say it once more.

You wont need to do that if you just optimize your scripts and index you mysql tables. Really, you'll just through your money away. Upgrading to that plan is the lazy way out. Just take a little time to learn it and you site will run much faster and MUCH better!

The upgraded plan was made for people that complained about the CPU and refused to fix it. If you have poorly writen scripts and unindexed tables, you'll still run into the same problems.

For $20, get a VPS for a little more.

Well, the problem we're running into is that we have a good number of users online at the same time (earlier, it was about 80), and we have some somewhat intensive scripts running - they're already optimized, though, as are our database tables. We've been getting that CPU limit problem seemingly at random all day today and it's driving me insane. I disabled most of our server intensive features as a test and we're still getting it. We have a fairly large site, so tracking down inefficient scripts I may have missed is a migraine in a bottle.

If you have grown to a point that you need higher CPU, then the best thing to do would be to get a VPS. You'll eventually have the same problems on the upgraded CPU plan because it's still on a shared server with other people.

I met many times 'hight load' error page too. But I don't know how to analyzecpu_exceeded_logs and mysql_slow_queries to optimize my scripts.
