Thanks for posting this! I need to find a new host for my blog that can handle traffic better. If anyone has suggestions let me know.

If you use WordPress, try this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/

It turns your WordPress blog into static html pages that load fast.

If your ok with a static blog that you need to put a little work into you can use GitHub Pages and Jekyll. You have to push updates yourself but its completely free.

Instead of jumping on another similar host try optimizing your website first, installing caching plugin like W3 Total Cache would make a lot of difference. Of course, the best way to handle traffic would be with flat html files, converting your blog to Jekyll/Octopress or similar, like the sibling comments are suggesting.

Here is a little love for Octopress. Easy to mess around with the themes and easy to deploy with github or rsync.
