And that’a a problem since

1. The only beer I have in the house is one bottle of Guiness Stout and I’m more in a Heinekin mood.
2. It’s currently near 10 am where I am.
3. I haven’t had a drink since… um.

   Hm.

   Let’s just say I’m not a big drinker. Anymore.

Here’s my problem. For some unknown reason, the WordPress portion of my site operates perfectly fine for a while as http://freetraffictip.com, but not www.freetraffitip.com.

Then, for seemingly no reason, it starts to choke periodically, and I have to go to General, Options to switch it over to www. Then for a while that will work and I have to change it again. Higher traffic seems to affect it adversely, but not cause it.

The rest of my site is completely unaffected.

Smashing my head against the wall is not fixing the problem. Any ideas?

I would like to hire someone to fix it this week, but just like when I take my car to the shop, I like to have a ball park idea of what the problem might be, and what it might cost to fix it.

Thank you in advance for any input at all.

Oh, and I’m on 2.2.1 and am very much willing to upgrade sooner rather than later if it will eliminate this headache.
