I can agree with this, I'm currently running my MediaWiki on the dreamhost servers, and it's slower then a granny shopping at the drug store.. Maybe when my dreamhost "time" is up, I'll check out that host Chris suggested...
Dreamhost will move you onto less over-used resources if you ask them to. They did for me but only after I asked. To ask, log into your account at Dreamhost.com and in the left sidebar click on Support > Contact Support and tell them that your MediaWiki is running really slowly and could they please move you to a less over-used MySQL server because you think it would help. That's what I did and it helped. Page loads now are usually under 2 seconds for my Dreamhost virtual host wiki, http://wikigogy.org, whereas before page loads were anywhere from 2 to 8 seconds.
Page edits are still slow though!
Page edits takes 2-8 seconds to submit. Anyone know what's up with that? Normal? Feel free to test edits in my sandbox: http://wikigogy.org/Sandbox
No way I'm gona pay US$69.99/month for virtual hosting at Gigenet.com. I'd try OVH (in France) fist: http://www.ovh.com/en/mutualise/plans/60gp.html as recommended in an earlier post in this thread.
Thanks all!
