The Problem: CPU Exceeded on WordPress Blogs with BlueHost
Since the move to HostGator did NOT go smoothly, I quickly switched the DNS back to BlueHost. I was a little tempted to just stick with BlueHost and start deleting some plugins to possibly resolve the issue, until I did a Google search for ‘CPU exceeded wordpress’ and realized that this was a very prevalent problem with BlueHost - it looks like it even happens to people with small sites and after reading through forums, I realized that no one seems to have resolved the problem.
So I think I really need to move, as scary as it is. I’ve written to HostGator about the problem with the blogs not opening with them, got a reply back 24 hours later asking for more specifics, and now I’m just waiting. I’m worried about switching the DNS back to them because their response time is so slow and I cannot really afford to wait on them.
Grr….

Great to know. I signed up with blue host a few months go. Fortunately it’s my offline, physical business which doesn’t get lots of traffic, but I do have another site that’s a little busier as an addon. I just read about how happy everyone is there and didn’t see about the blogs. I’ll be keeping an eye on that!
Of course, wordpress, when you go to look for a host, does have a blue host link…

Yeah, I’m kind of sad to go, because aside from this problem, they’ve been a good host over the past few months.

I don’t really like hostgator for a bunch of reasons, but to be fair, I have a site that is a CPU hog. it has been kicked of several other hosts for too much cpu usage. But I ran it on hostgator for about a year and the cpu was never an issue with them. So you can pretty much use all the CPU you want on their site and it will run fast and they won’t say anything about it.
