With lower volume sites it may not be necessary to move the DB to a Cloud Server. Are you running any of the caching plugins on your WordPress site such as: Quick Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache? If this doesn't help or if you are running a different app you can certainly run a DB from Cloud Servers but you will need to be CERTAIN that this Cloud Server is provisioned in the same phase of Rackspace's DFW data center as Cloud Sites. You may need to ask support to manually create this server for you. Hey there Stephen, glad the video was helpful. With lower volume sites it may not be necessary to move the DB to a Cloud Server.

Great video. Helps so much. I have a Wordpress blog on a Cloud Site. What would happen if I put the DB on a Cloud Server? Would it cut any seconds off my load time? I only get about 50-100 hits a day. But I also resell Cloud Sites and I haven't been able to make the sale with folks who run DB intensive apps because of the load time, so this might be a solution that could help me there as well. Thanks so much. Love your blog and your new theme. Just realized you have a new job, so I hope this wasn't too intrusive asking Rackspace questions at this point. Hey Chad. Great video.

Next time I need to wear a flat colored shirt. Cool optical illusion though ;) Whoa, good thing this was just a concept video of sorts. Next time I need to wear a flat colored shirt.
