I’ve been with my current web host for a few years now, however recently I’ve noticed that performance of my sites has started to suffer. Websites that used to load effortlessly now take a few seconds to display a page. I’ve tried contact support to see if they could help, but so far, there’s been no improvement. What’s the best way to choose a good web host?

I’m coding this new left navigation menu for a new website site, and I want to be able to have the navigation show if the visitor has Javascript turned off. Unfortunately the menu has sub-menus that don’t show if the user doesn’t have Javascript turned on. How do I create an alternative section to accommodate this?

GoDaddy’s Deluxe hosting allows for multiple websites all under one account. The way they do this is by pointing the domains to subfolders within the root. But, this poses a problem when trying to activate the permalink structures for these new sites since the 404 handling is pointing to the main root folder instead of your domain’s root folder. I’m searching for a way to rectify this issue since I have quite a few clients in this situation. Any ideas?
