I've been self-hosting with Hostmonster and lately it's been painfully slow when I go into an app and press "screens." Today I'm getting a lot of the following errors when I try to add screens resulting in duplicate entries when I press refresh: Service Unavailable. Technical description: 504 Gateway Time-out - The web server is not responding Is there something I can do to speed up the BT server or do I need to switch hosting providers? A week ago I removed the file/temp directory and cleared the bt_api_requests and there was no discernible change in performance, and my current SQL is only 12mb. If switching hosts is the answer any suggestions on one that's super fast and super easy to set up? Thanks everyone! Title Comments Hey guys.

Many options available as well. Probably the best news if it's always been fast with no downtime for me since I've used it (about 2 years). Comments I use HostGator.

GoDaddy does not. They make you buy a more expensive VPS plan. Comments Also, be aware for their cheap plans, that HostGator opens the ports to communicate with Apple Push Notification Service.

Also, only seems to happen to the bigger apps. I am on godaddy and have been for a couple years. Until recently I have never had this problem. Really hoping for some type of solution.
