This host is great 500mb good bandwidth, unlimited MYSQL and lots more but there is one problem! Server speed it isn't the fastest host I can name but do you think it's a bit slow because the adress to my site is http://66.90.73.208/~mysite I have heard with an url like that sites can be slow. So do you guys think if I get a domain name and use it there (which I can) it would make a differnece in speed?

Thanks
 
Since your using an IP address it'll be faster as there's no DNS lookup, so if it's slow it's either your ISP or the host.
 
Maybe

Have you tried a reverse IP lookup? It could tel you how many domain are hosted on the server... maybe it is overloaded?

Or contact their tech support.. maybe it is something that is a current issue..
 
I guess you moved your site because that IP is an empty web site with nothing in it and there is no DNS record whatsoever .... needless to say that'll definitely cause connection problems:

WhereToLook, that only works if the provider has setup PTR records and the IP on the account is hosted on a shared IP account at their hosting provider.

In the case of the person who started this thread, they have an IP based URL which is only possible with a dedicated IP so doing a reverse on that one won't tell you anything about how many people are on that particular server or IP.

Of course, per my last post, you can see it doesn't return anything whatsoever so it's kind of a moot issue anyway.

Just making a technical clarification.
