[solved]site is very slow after switching to hostgator

After much agony and debugging, I realized I was wrong. I am very shocked, but Hostgator tech support helped me debug and told me that there was a call going to another host to a database. This is correct because my database was still on godaddy and files were on hostgator.

So I looked in my database script added new db info, switched over db to hostgator and now it works like a charm.

Now, this is also strange, because it is normal to have databases at different locations talking to other locations. So I am not sure why this created a problem, but it was the problem.

Also, think about it. Everytime hostgator server is requesting a file, it has to talk to different locations which will slow it down.

Problem solved.
