Hi, we’re setting up a wordpress blog for our church that will include audio mp3 streams of our weekly services. The site will have relatively little traffic ( < 500 unique visitors, < 5000 page views/mo), and an even smaller percentage of that accessing the audio streams.
So my questions were, a) is audio mp3 streaming CPU intensive, and b) with our projected traffic, will there be a CPU issue running on a shared server?
Preface
When I had the arduous task of finding a new host, the some forums were an indispensable resource of information, guides, and reviews. As thank you for the great host, Iron Mountain, has pointed me to, I now offer my 6 months of experience with Iron Mountain to this community.
I also would like to state for the record that I have been a paying customer of Iron Mountain for the past 6 months, am not affiliated with them in any way (other than the fact I am a customer), and have not been solicited or compensated in any form to write this review.
I hope this will be of use to people who are in a similar predicament to where I was 6+ months ago.

I am just curious to know which company started it. Lets leave the unlimited thing, i have seen this for some yrs.
But some yrs ago the companies which are overselling right now were not in this process. Any guess.
Our current host’s MySQL is rather poor, and this is making our VBulletin run slowly far too often, so we need to move.
Our site stats (for the entire website) for Feb:-
- Total Hits 3,072,554
- Total Files 2,343,497
- Total Pages 1,246,668

When I complained about service the first time they blamed my scripts. They were right. I was not closing off my database scripts and it is quite conceivable that in the hosting environment they were not being disposed of correctly. So I went through and audited our whole website and changed all the scripts. Then I began to get responses from our users that the website was crashing daily, I received advice from DynamicHosting that a “bad domain was causing the problems and should be fixed now”. Then I received an apology from them stating:
“I’m really sorry about this, it’s not the service that you should expect and I apologize for that. We can migrate your site to a new server in a new data center that is much more reliable then the server / data center you are in now. Thank you very much for all your patience.”
