Forum very slow

[Letzride]

So I just had my site professionally installed from being hosted on VB's cloud platform to being self host on hostgators cloud servers. Installation was completed the other day and the tech that did it has been a big help.

My current issue is he says "the database speed is very very slow. While the AdminCP speed is reasonable, the main site isn't - and that's on simple things like page loads as well as updating data in the database. Also looking into tables in the database via phpMyAdmin is slow so it's not a vBulletin issue there."

I have contacted hostgator over this issue and they said that they have cleared the cache and to give it some time and that they have assigned an admin to look into the issue.

I don't feel overly confident that clearing the cache is going to solve the problem nor am I confident that they are going to resolve this without further guidance.

My question is, how can I fix the site from being slow? It is painfully slow loading. To the point that I don't think any users would ever stick around to wait for it to load to participate. Which entirely defeats the purpose for me.

I am not technically savy. But the site was running perfectly find on VB's cloud platform, so I believe that it should run perfectly fine on hostgators as well. How can I go about finding the issue?

Site in question is www.camarov6.com
