@Viper007Bond But in a shared hosting environment like Network Solutions offers, you're probably not in the "properly configured environment" that you think you're in.

It's important to remember there are at least hundreds of other users on a shared machine, and Network Solutions still does not appear to have gotten their databases working as well as some of the more proxy-style hosts, like 1and1. 1and1 may have the worst technical support, but their MySQL is locked down properly. Network Solutions has released blog statements, support responses, etc., over the past year or two saying things such as "our database performance isn't where we'd like it to be."

Also, on another opinionated note, I really love the Wordpress dashboard -- pretty darn intuitive, the editor is clean and easy, image inserts are top notch, etc -- but the Wordpress security has proved it's not up to par with other big CMS systems like Drupal. I really look forward to the coming years where Wordpress is locked down properly "out of the box" and Drupal's editing system is as easy to use as Wordpress.
