   * While you and several others may be on the same servers there could be several servers using the same database.  Most sites do not make heavy (if any) use of the database so this is not an uncommon situation but just as your server can be overrun with sites on it database servers can be overwhelmed with the number of servers (sites) using it.   * While you and several others may be on the same servers there could be several servers using the same database.  Most sites do not make heavy (if any) use of the database so this is not an uncommon situation but just as your server can be overrun with sites on it database servers can be overwhelmed with the number of servers (sites) using it.
   * Server hardware can have an effect.  Older servers tend be slower than newer servers but this is not always true.  Older servers may not execute faster than a new one but have more memory to juggle requests and execute commands.  You can generally only choose a base configuration at the time of setting up your site.  As a general rule newer is always better as a better motherboard and more memory is the usual result.   * Server hardware can have an effect.  Older servers tend be slower than newer servers but this is not always true.  Older servers may not execute faster than a new one but have more memory to juggle requests and execute commands.  You can generally only choose a base configuration at the time of setting up your site.  As a general rule newer is always better as a better motherboard and more memory is the usual result.

 There are too many situations to list here and we are just putting the above out there to illustrate a point.  Knowledge about your hosting configuration can go a long way to diagnosing problems and what could done to improve a site's performance. There are too many situations to list here and we are just putting the above out there to illustrate a point.  Knowledge about your hosting configuration can go a long way to diagnosing problems and what could done to improve a site's performance.
