First, it’s important to identify the root cause of the hosting issues. It could be that your website is not optimized or there are too many requests being made at once. Once you have identified what exactly is causing the issue, then you can take steps to address it.

You’ve already taken the first step by realizing that hosting could be part of the issue. There are several things that might being going on:

• Poor hosting provider
• Server not optimized
• Insufficient server resources
• Inefficient coding/scripts
• Too many requests from your website

Before taking any steps, it’s important to find out what the issue is and what’s preventing your website from performing as it should. Once you have identified the problem, then you can take steps to address it.

For many, the conclusion will be that their current hosting provider isn’t providing the resources or support they need, and it’s time to switch to a new one. If you do decide that this is the best course of action, make sure that you choose a host with good customer service and reliable technology.

When you start to look at hosting providers, you’ll want to make sure they are reliable and can provide the correct amount of resources that your website needs.

It is also important to make sure you have the correct hosting plan for your website, including RAM and CPU. Resources are shared between websites on a single server so if one website is using too much resources it can affect everyone else on the same server. If you are having issues with this, it could be beneficial to switch to a VPS or dedicated server to give you more dedicated resources for your website and prevent other sites from impacting yours.

Other steps to address hosting issues may include:

• Installing and running caching plugins for WordPress
• Optimizing images, scripts and code on your website
• Optimizing the database

When website performance optimization isn’t enough, you may want to consider:

• Upgrading to a better hosting plan with more server resources
• Moving to a different hosting provider that offers more reliable and faster servers

Once you have done all that is possible on your end and still aren’t getting the performance from your website as expected, it might be time for a change in hosting provider or plan upgrade. Better reliability for your site, with more dedicated resources, for better performance.
