Slow

[BigNewsPortal]

My website is running very slowly so I am trying to decide what course of action I need to take.

My mysql server is seperate from my virtual shared host server.
Is it possible that the mysql server is making it load slowly or would it be more likely that my cheap shared server is the problem?

Is there some other solution that I may be overlooking?

Vbulletin.com seems to be running smoothly, does anyone know if it is run on a dedicated server or not?

Please help.

Are the two servers directly connected?

vBulletin.com is on a clustered setup, but we also host several other vBulletin sites.

No, I do not think that the two servers are directly connected. I may be wrong but the ip adresses appear to be completely different and each server is used for multiple people. I use godaddy.com, maybe they suck.

Does clustered mean that it is on several different dedicated servers or multiple shared servers?

The software probably isnt causing the problem right? Everything seems to be installed correctly, ect.

One thing I noticed today is that the forum seems to be running smoothly until I log in, then it just gets slower and slower.

What might be causing this?
Could this be a mysql database problem?

That is the same host I am using and I have tried to have them look into the problem. Here is their response:
