First thing I would say, Morris, is that, in my opinion, if it's an ecommerce site that you depend on for income, it absolutely should NOT be on shared hosting.
It needs to be on at least a VPS (Virtual Private Server) so that you can ensure your site won't be negatively affected by other sites sharing/abusing server resources. All you need is one outage or slowdown due to shared hosting problems to cost you far more than the increased cost of a VPS.
Not to mention a VPS can be tuned much more specifically for your particular website's needs. It can also easily add resources (CPU and memory) as needed when your site gets busier, or during peak traffic season.
That said, your current server definitely has a problem. Its time-to-first-byte is almost 5 seconds. It should be in the range of about .5 to 1 second. Since your overall load time is abut 8 seconds, it means your server is wasting over 60% of its time waiting to process the page.
As far as recommendations for a host, I've been using Site5 for some time now and have been very pleased. They offer fully-managed VPS for around $55-$80 per month (depending on your site's resource needs) including excellent off-site backups.
There are other good VPS providers out there, I just have personal experience with Site5. Note that you will want a fully-managed VPS unless you are already experienced in server administration, which most of us aren't
Happy to help if you have further questions.

P.S. The configuration of the site can have an major impact on the speed, regardless of hosting. Yours seems pretty well configured, but there are still some tweaks available that would speed it up some more.

Try BlueHost for managed/shared hosting. I would stay away from GoDaddy and HostGator -- way too slow.

I use BigCommerce great support and a fair price. I would investigate if something is wrong on your site. It loaded very slow and curious if there is a problem with the page and not the host. I have heard mostly good things about godaddy.

Are you facing any problem with Godaddy ? You can try hostgator they have awesome live support. I am using them just because they have good customer support.

Hi Morris,
For small sites liquid web work best, I have tried them six month for my coupon code site www.dealsbell.com but when the number pages are more they are not able to manage it. Currently which host are you using ?

But in few months we will shift our focus to outsourcing.

Our major focus is on seo. Thanks

IP and Hosting
Hello everyone, Wanted to know if anyone has any information, if a dedicated IP address for a website or having your site hosted on a virtual dedicated/dedicated server would have any impact on search engine rankings versus hosting a site on a shared hosting account or shared IP? Thank you all!!!

Best hosting solution for linkbait videos
I'm creating a series of link bait videos. I want people to link to the pages on my site hosting the videos. What's the best site to host them on, if my primary concern is to get do-followed links? I'm worried about putting them on YouTube, as I imagine most of the links will be to the page on youtube.com, or worse, just directly embedded.

Host suggestions?
I'm currently hosting with Hostgstor and was pleased with the service untl my site started to get big enough to run into problems. The unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space sounds attractive but they don't tell you that they throttle your database connections. Now that I have grown my site to the point where I am getting a few thousand visitors per day I am starting to have issues. I had an article get really popular and the server couldn't handle it. I'm looking for a host that will tolerate some spikes in traffic. (it's ok if I get charged more). I've heard good things about Pair hosting and I'll likely go with them but I thought I'd ask for a few more opinions first. Thanks!

Hosting and Domains in the US
Hello, In the UK I have my domains hosted with a company and my hosting with another company. I can change the DNS so the domain works with the webhosting. Can this be setup in the USA in the same way or does the hosting and domain need to be with the same company? Thanks.
