Hi Francesco Petracca, you are indeed lucky to have Lunarpages as your
webhost. They didn't kick you out like what Maiahost did to me when they
claimed that I exceeded their 1.5% CPU usage limit for my Maiahost Multiple
Plan.
I was in the midst of writing an article when my website was suddenly
suspended. I immediately contacted Online Chat Help and was told that I
touched 2.6% CPU limit. I then contacted Technical Support and they said I
touched 10%! When I asked for proof because of the discrepancy (2.6% vs
10%), they said they will give me in a few days time. Maybe they need to
adjust something or discuss how to explain away the discrepancy, LOL.
I disabled
Dummipedia.org, my biggest website, and offered to disable some
smaller ones, too, but they insisted that I MUST upgrade to VDS or get lost.
I asked them whether it is true that once you touch 1.5%, there is no
turning back, even if I disabled some of my websites and they just said: "We
don't want you here."
And the big joke is I don't even have a total of 500 visitors a day for all
my websites added together. Remember I bought a Maiahost Multiple Plan, not
a Single Plan. My monthly bandwidth transfer was only 5% of the advertised
allocation of 50G (ie. 2,352MB) and I was using Mediawiki Version 1.14, not
1.15.
So Mediawiki users, beware who you choose to host for your websites.
Lunarpages does indeed sound like a very good webhost.

I've implemented the file caching for now.
Being that I have a lot
more browsing visitors than editors, I think that should make a
noticeable difference. I'm going to keep an eye on the situation and
see if that makes a dent. If not I'll have to look into the other
solutions and see which I could carry out in the shared host
environment. Shell access is available but costs a little extra, and
the list of functions disabled are located here
http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Disabled_JailShell_Commands
The only command you may miss from that list is 'make', in case you need
to compile something. In that case you may have more luck compiling on a
system similar enough and copying the binary. And if you're going to be
copying binaries, you may not need shell.
