My website www.sino7.com has became extremely slow.

OK…Here is my stories about my 1and1 website servers. I have 2 identical websites on 2 different 1and1 servers…Everything worked fine….A month ago, I found out one is at least 10 times slower than the other one…I contacted 1and1 representative by calling their toll-free number. The representative told that that they were moving my server to another location and she said the website will be fine in a couple days. I forgot to ask for a case number. At least 8 days later, no one gave me any updates. Called again and asked for the new case number. One week later, one guy sent me email saying he doesn’t see the difference. I told him to open it from outside his company Internal network. He did and agreed about the slowness and sent the case to the system administrator. I emailed back one week after that. Then I got an emal 5 days after saying their system administrator tried to solve the issue. They also tried to move mine to a completely new server. They checked to make sure both servers didn’t have any issue. However it was still the same after that and they told me it might be my programming part.

Tried to optimize my webiste my checking all the configuration settings and permissions of my files…..I really have found some improvements but they didn’t matter much and the result didn’t improve at all. Then I had this strange idea that it might be outside of the United States or somewhere very remotely in United States from where I am. At least I want to see where is my website traffic to. What I found out with visualroute (Visualroute.com) (http://visualroute.visualware.com/ for the Live Demo) is……….shockingly, they moved my server to Germany. I could see the route going from United State where I am to England and then Germany. ( I didn’t know where my old server was though )

Now, I just sent another email asking why and who moved my server to there and if they could move it back to United States or have a mirrored server setup in United States for me. It should be done by them in the following business days.

Well, we learn everyday. The good news is that I found out at least they tried and they also backuped my 1and1 weblog and sent the sql file to my server upon my request.
