I am obviously having major problems with my self-hosted site. Essentially… It won’t connect. At all. If it does it crawls like snails.
I had it hosted at a place called Quantact. They provide virtual machines – basically it’s as though I had my own linux box and was setting up and hosting my site from there. They also handle DNS which is fantastic – the free DNS sites are alright but I find them sort of annoying to deal with.
