[Xastir] Server slow

[David Ranch]

I've had pretty good luck with Codero's baseline VM solution (they call 
it "cloud hosting"):

    http://www.codero.com/cloud-hosting

For $5/mo, You get full root access and even with one core and 512MB of 
RAM, it's quite fast for simple sites,

top - 16:11:10 up 59 days, 19:11,  1 user,  load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.05
Tasks: 125 total,   2 running, 123 sleeping,   0 stopped, 0 zombie
%Cpu(s):  2.0 us,  1.0 sy,  0.0 ni, 96.0 id,  0.7 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,  
0.3 st
KiB Mem :   495296 total,     6872 free,   104004 used, 384420 buff/cache
KiB Swap:   978940 total,   885004 free,    93936 used. 334620 avail Mem


They have many other plans as well so give the above URL a look.
