How to set the Wordpress host memory

A very good tutorial on the memory settings in self-hosted Wordpress blogs has been recently published by Frank Bültge in the multi-author WpEngineer site.

The author explains how easy is to increase the host server memory by a modification to the wp-config.php file, which is placed in the root directory of your blog.

Please before all check the recommendation by Frank Bültge: the best way is to do it in steps in order to check the possibilities of the host.

All what you have to do is to add a line at the file with the following code:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

It will double the base-memory. If the host permits such a memory extension you can also try with 96M and 128M. If it works you will see your site work very faster!
