    New here but would like some advice

    I am currently with the basic free package without ads etc. I have found though that webpage loading is painfully slow at times. The website I run is just an information site for a charity I run. I can not afford to pay for hosting, so need to know what my options are, currently the speeds are too slow for me to work with

    Maybe you could implement a design that doesn't use a lot of images. The less graphics, or images you have on your website..the faster it will load.

    Just a suggestion..

    I would ask what as
    a.What you are using to build the site with?
    b.Have you ensured all your pictures are as small as possible in bit/byte value ie save them as gif or png or jpg?

    I have noticed that the hosted websites are only slow at some hours while at other ones they just work perfectly. I think we cannot expect to much from free services.

    Although it's not convenient, things had to be set up like that because a few people were running scripts to send PM spam.

    Welcome to x10Hosting anyways, enjoy your stay. Feel free to ask us for help when you need it in the forums. As for your site being slow, where abouts are you? I'm in the United Kingdom and can browse my site fast enough, I don't understand what could be different for you?

    mallratz, I deleted your post. Please ask your question in your own thread, don't post for help in someone else's thread please.

    -Luke.
