View Full Version : Dedicated IP move slows site performance

Since moving to a dedicated IP last week, my site has been experiencing performance issues-- slow loading pages and downloading of files.

Doing a traceroute from 4 different ISPs it appears that our address isn't resolving-- it seems to get stuck around the 10th hop. Doing a traceroute to bluehost.com on all these sites follows the same route but ultimately resolve.

Talking with a Bluehost rep, I was told that this is an ISP issue, and not a bluehost issue. There are a lot of ISPs out there, and if 100% of the four I tried had this problem it makes me wonder how many don't.

I can't ask all my users to contact their ISPs to get this fixed-- let alone I'm pretty sure every ISP will say its not their issue, as the route is failing/stalling outside there door.

Any idea how I should tackle this problem from this point forward?

Failing on the 10th hop is unlikely to be an ISP issue but unless that 10th hop is a BlueHost server it isn't a BlueHost issue either. You need to identify the owner of the server where it is getting stuck and contact them about it.
