Need a new server (suggestions?)

G

GM

The submit buttons on my sites are painfully slow (www.salesimaging.com). They say it is because I am not on a Windows server. Can someone suggest a server where I can take my 20 web sites where this slow submit issue will no longer be a problem

Thanks.

Try having the forms send email only, and not writing to a file and see if that speeds up the
process.

Since your forms are using the FP extensions, is should matter what type of server your sites are
hosted on as long as they have the extensions configured to process email, etc.

Thomas,

would spaces in image & folder names make it slow too?

<img border="0" src="images/Accents%20&%20lil%20images/accent1.gif" width="9" height="9">

I know it can cause prlbs on unix but can it make pages slow too?

There are a few like this on GM's web.

Shouldn't have any impact, I think it is the actual writing to the filesystem that is causing the
slow response.

Even w/ another server, suspect some repair is required

The forms are also not being sent to the server (but to a 3rd party email address)
- which will also slow down the forms handling
(and some day the host may also block that to prevent relaying)

And I suspect FP isn't too happy w/ a file save and confirmation page location with spaces in the file names
U-File="_private/RSI email List.csv" S-Email-Address="[email protected] U-Confirmation-Url="Misc Pages/Thanks.htm

PS
I advised the user months ago to remove all spaces from all file/folder names
