My website sometimes work and then it doesn’t… what could possibly be the problem?

I would venture a guess that it’s your hosting provider that’s the issue.

[djrolstad]

all it gives is this… Warning: extract() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/content/03/10364203/html/wp-content/plugins/contact-tab/contact-tab.php on line 299

Change hosting provider. Go with iPage.

[djrolstad]

I have used iPage and I do not like them…. :/

I host all of my sites with Stucel.com $5 a month and 99% up-time. I highly recommend them. Try this link: http://www.stucel.com/member/aff.php?aff=012

Try finding a reputable host. iPage looks like a ‘You can what you pay for’ situation.

*That* is a PHP error message. It’s not your host’s fault; it’s your script’s fault.

Have you looked into it? Check out the file and line number it gives you. Something it being passed to `extract()` that isn’t an array – that means there is nothing checking it beforehand to *make sure* it’s an array.

You may be right. So far, the site has been working normally every time I’ve checked.

This is GoDaddy..

If you are on a budget and aren’t expecting much traffic, I can heartily recommend nearlyfreespeech.net

It’s a pay-for-what-you-use model and the service is excellent.

If you intend on using a lot of bandwidth, though, it’s not likely your best solution.

GoDaddy is notoriously bad for WordPress installations.

[djrolstad]

@TheDoc, I have not heard that… I really like GoDaddy’s service too, what would you recommend? I really don’t mind paying extra for a good host.

I’ve been with GoDaddy and had no tech issues. But their constant SELLING, it takes 30min just to complete simple c-panel task. So I’ve moved to Dreamhost. Much happier.

Back in my freelancing days, I had so many problems with GoDaddy’s hosting with WordPress. The simple process of transferring their site from GD to another host solved almost all issues.

You can do a reverse IP lookup to see how many different sites are being run on *your same server*. When I looked one particular client up it was over *6,000*… http://www.domaintools.com/research/reverse-ip/

Here’s the thread where I learned about that neat trick: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/godaddy-hosting-super-slow-is-it-me-or-them
