True, but we didn't used to get 500s from the old host for a long time either.
I mean, that's the host we've been using all along? Both with the old forum and with Jeremy's new forum?
So my only question is what changed?
Otherwise, yeah, a more reliable host is good. This site really can't be too resource-hungry.
The site is not at all resource hungry. The main problem is the other host was shared hosting and there were a couple of problem users on our host that would execute runaway MySQL queries. Sometimes the MySQL server would be at 100% utilization for hours at a time. Unfortunately, those processes were also CGI processes and the web host was not discerning enough to track down who was doing it. They began putting severe limitations on cgi processes, ours included even though we had nothing to do with any of their problems.
