First thing I would say, Morris, is that, in my opinion, if it's an ecommerce site that you depend on for income, it absolutely should NOT be on shared hosting.
It needs to be on at least a VPS (Virtual Private Server) so that you can ensure your site won't be negatively affected by other sites sharing/abusing server resources. All you need is one outage or slowdown due to shared hosting problems to cost you far more than the increased cost of a VPS.
Not to mention a VPS can be tuned much more specifically for your particular website's needs. It can also easily add resources (CPU and memory) as needed when your site gets busier, or during peak traffic season.
That said, your current server definitely has a problem. Its time-to-first-byte is almost 5 seconds. It should be in the range of about .5 to 1 second. Since your overall load time is abut 8 seconds, it means your server is wasting over 60% of its time waiting to process the page.
As far as recommendations for a host, I've been using Site5 for some time now and have been very pleased. They offer fully-managed VPS for around $55-$80 per month (depending on your site's resource needs) including excellent off-site backups.
There are other good VPS providers out there, I just have personal experience with Site5. Note that you will want a fully-managed VPS unless you are already experienced in server administration, which most of us aren't
Happy to help if you have further questions.

P.S. The configuration of the site can have an major impact on the speed, regardless of hosting. Yours seems pretty well configured, but there are still some tweaks available that would speed it up some more.

Try BlueHost for managed/shared hosting. I would stay away from GoDaddy and HostGator -- way too slow.

I use BigCommerce great support and a fair price. I would investigate if something is wrong on your site. It loaded very slow and curious if there is a problem with the page and not the host. I have heard mostly good things about godaddy.

Are you facing any problem with Godaddy ? You can try hostgator they have awesome live support. I am using them just because they have good customer support.

Hi Morris,
For small sites liquid web work best, I have tried them six month for my coupon code site www.dealsbell.com but when the number pages are more they are not able to manage it. Currently which host are you using ?

Directing a domain.com/BLOG to a different host
Hello,
Web Design | | SharonEKG
i cant seem to figure out how to approach this matter. we have a website and a domain setup in one place and we wanted to setup a blog for that website on a different hosting, what do i have to do to link between the two to make it so when a user type domain com /blog he will get to our blog that is hosted on a different hosting plan? with the blog hosting plan we received a temporary domain that does not expire but i have been told that if i redirect to that temporary domain it wont work correctly also, if we do manage to go through that process will accessing the blog will the URL show domain com/blog or will still show the temporary given domain? is my only option is buying a new domain and just link between the two? Thanks!0 -
Web Hosting and CDN for Wordpress Site Load Speed - Suggestions Needed
We all know that website load speed is more important than ever. While I love the look and feel of parallax and Wordpress, I want to do everything I can to keep the load speed down. I see a lot of conflicting information regarding web hosting services, CDN services and other service (Cloudflare for example). I am looking to hear from those with their own experiences to let me know what they think is the ideal setup for a parallax Wordpress site is as far as which services to use, including: 1. Web Hosting

Intuit Website Hosting - Stand-Alone Webite?
Hi all! My name is Yehuda and I'm new to this community. There's an issue i'm having trouble with: My site is hosted by Intuit Websites, and I use their Website Builder. Though it has its own domain name, it seems my "site" may just be a subdomain of their intuitwebsites.com website. I'm trying to figure out if my site is actually a stand-alone website, and what ramifications/issues there be in terms of bot crawling & SEO. Does anyone have a thought on this?

IP and Hosting
Hello everyone, Wanted to know if anyone has any information, if a dedicated IP address for a website or having your site hosted on a virtual dedicated/dedicated server would have any impact on search engine rankings versus hosting a site on a shared hosting account or shared IP? Thank you all!!!

How to set up Wordpress on our Germany Host?
Correct me if I am wrong, but for SEO purposes, it is best to host your website in the correct country? I set up hosting in Germany for our new website, but now I am concerned on how to set up our wordpress website through our german host and setting up the database. Or would I be safe to host it in the US? Can I set it all up in English and then translate it to German and then upload it that way?
