twizlar, you said it could be a very slow server response to http requests. What can I do about that?

It doesnt appear to be a bandwidth or routing problem, just very slow server response to http requests. This USUALLY indicates an overloaded server processor wise.
ding ding, or something in your wordpress script is mucked up. I had a guy whose wordpress site would take about 25 seconds to load, because of some bugged wordpress code...let me see if I can find that for you.

They are trying to determine if it's a network issue, or a server issue. I ping 40~ or so to the web server, and it still loads slow, so imo it's a server issue.

To copy lines from CMD prompt, you can right click on the blue bar where it says 'Command Prompt' , go hover over EDIT, and left click on mark.

Now just use your curser to drag an area around what you want to copy off. Now right click that blue bar up top again and hover over EDIT, and left click copy.

Now you can paste into an email, or whatever you wanted to paste it into.

That's how I do it, if there is another way, someone else chim in :P.

The FatCow support told me run in cmd "tracert (domainname) ".

What exactly does this do? I ran it, but I can't copy the output. How do I copy output from command prompt?

Page loads are god awful slow. I have two domains hosted on my webspace at FatCow, and you can visit them yourself to see how pitiful the service is:
»www.willmakeitwork.com
»www.spacegazelle.com

The pages load just as slow within the Wordpress UI. It's so bad that I don't even want to use it. Do I have any chance of a refund or some kind of transfer to a faster host, or am I screwed out of that money?

EDIT: P.S. I'm thinking about just hosting my blog off a PC at my parent's house. Their connection is something like 8000/768 and I really don't expect more than a hundred hits a week at most.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/FatCow-relentlessly-slow-Is-my-money-down-the-drain-22572241 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:31:36 EDT
