Dear Kevin,
Unfortunately, I cannot accurately provide a comparison between your services here and your older services with 1and1, because I would not know how their system is configured. However, server timeouts are generally caused when a connection remains latent too long, or is running much longer than it should be. Sometimes, this can occur if a connection is not properly closed on your page, but usually it relates to the amount of data being pulled from the database, or issues with the content of the database. In general, optimization of your database is the most common method of resolving these issues, as we have reviewed the account and verified that there is not an high load on the database server.
If this issue is intermittent, it is possible that there is a high load occurring on the servers at some time during the day, but without being able to duplicate this it is difficult to verify if this is the cause. With intermittent issues, we recommend that you contact our Support center by phone when the issue next occurs. If we are able to troubleshoot while the issue is occurring, we have a better chance of properly identifying the cause of the issue. Our Support center is 24/7, and can be reached at 480.505.8877.
Please let us know if we can help you in any other way.
Sincerely,
Dave D.
Online Support Team
