What I have noticed

[Sheff]

After having mutlple 500 errors and constant outages, I decided to switch to Rochen.

I was on Dreamhost which was painfully slow. I thought that Joomla was inherently slow on the back end. When I switched my site over, I noticed that the back end was much faster that it was on Dreamhost.

So what I thought was a weakness of Joomla was actually a weakness in the shared hosting of Dreamhost.

"Dreamhost"

Dream="the sleeping state in which this occurs"

I suppose the name was well chosen.

At Rochen I found that not only speedier connection but also no or hardly any downtimes.
I also found that I get more visitors who look at more pages.
And I suppose that is a result of the faster connection and uptime.

And, did you know this:
(from an article on the web)

Rochen is the official web hosting partner for the Joomla content management system and was announced alongside Joomla at the LinuxWorld Expo Awards held in London, UK in October
2005 and October 2006 as a finalist in the category of "Best Linux/Open Source ISP/Internet Host".

By the way, you are still advertising for Dreamhost at your site!

I will fix that as soon as I get my reseller site up and running. I am noticing the increase in traffic.

BTW, the reason I signed up for Rochen was because they host Joomla.org.
