Heavy Traffic!

[EMEvans]

I have my shop through lycos but recently i've noticed when i click onto my website it takes ages to load and sometimes i get a message saying 'please try again later we are experiencing heavy traffic' or something like that anyway.

I know the heavy traffic isn't related to my site so i'm guessing it's lycos's server or something - could this be the case?

I'm getting quite miffed off about it as i pay my monthly subsricption for there services so surely i should get my space.

I don't understand alot about websites/internet so don't know if this is normal/exceptable. Does or has anyone else experienced this.

If it's not a common problem then i'll have to consider getting another website and host as it's not as if i get a high amount of traffic so i can't afford to lose any.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

I'm hoping someone might have some advice as it's really starting to annoy me now. If not then not to worry, i'll just have to contact lycos (which is a task and a half).

Its the way things go..

Can't help in way sorry .

Thats fine if it's a normal problem, i just wanted to check and make sure that the service i'm paying for isn't sub standard and didn't want to change host/website if it's a problem i can have with others.

Thanks for your reply Mr Media.
