I was curious to know why your dedicated server was slow to access from Singapore even in Thailand.
I optimised your front page and loaded it onto our server.

Check out the access time between the sites and see if there is a difference in the two servers.
Off topic: “Notify me via email when someone posts in this thread” is not working?

I have recently started using Mosso cloud servers. You get full control and they are quick as hell. You pay for only what you use and you can resize your packages at any point.
You will need to install your own control panel but I got a LAMP stack up and running with webmin/virtualmin in about 20 minutes. Will be posting a screencast on how to do that tonight hopefully.
Which server are you running? I looked at them for a while and I thought they were a pretty sweet deal until I saw the bandwidth costs.

I had a slicehost server(~20/month) but have recently switched to prgmr(~8/month). No difference between the 2 and you have root access and they’re fast, from the US, not sure about elsewhere. Here’s an article with some benchmarks:
