A Few Questions

OK I did a traceroute on my server and these are the results

Tracing route to crushspot.com [72.29.*.*]

over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 212 ms 203 ms 203 ms ipt-rtcg07.dial.aol.com [152.163.5.199]
2 210 ms 214 ms 214 ms iptfarmg-rtc-ve3.proxy.aol.com [152.163.104.222]
3 201 ms 203 ms 225 ms wc4-rtc-ae6.router.aol.com [172.30.81.108]
4 211 ms 203 ms 203 ms pop2-rtc-P10-3.atdn.net [66.185.134.173]
5 211 ms 214 ms 203 ms bb2-rtc-P15-0.atdn.net [66.185.140.114]
6 212 ms 203 ms 213 ms bb2-vie-P15-0.atdn.net [66.185.152.219]
7 209 ms 214 ms 213 ms bb2-nye-P4-0.atdn.net [66.185.152.200]
8 210 ms 213 ms 214 ms pop1-nye-P1-0.atdn.net [66.185.151.51]
9 211 ms 214 ms 214 ms 0.so-2-0-0.BR1.NYC4.ALTER.NET [204.255.173.33]
10 222 ms 214 ms 214 ms 0.so-6-0-0.XL1.NYC4.ALTER.NET [152.63.21.78]
11 211 ms 214 ms 214 ms 0.so-4-0-0.TL1.NYC8.ALTER.NET [152.63.0.137]
12 233 ms 225 ms 225 ms 0.so-2-2-0.TL1.ATL5.ALTER.NET [152.63.1.102]
13 243 ms 246 ms 235 ms 0.so-4-0-0.CL1.ORL1.ALTER.NET [152.63.85.161]
14 243 ms 235 ms 246 ms 243.ATM6-0.GW5.ORL1.ALTER.NET [152.63.80.97]
15 243 ms 246 ms 235 ms hostdime-orl-gw.customer.alter.net [157.130.65.122]
16 243 ms 246 ms 246 ms 72-29-*-*.dimenoc.com [72.29.*.*]

First question is, is there this speed can be improved?

Next question, I've heard about load balancing between servers to speed load times and balance the bandwidth among the servers. I'm curious how would this would get set up? I'm completely new to the idea.

You're on AOL dialup. Those times - although a little high - are normal for dialup.

P.S. No sense in blanking out the IP when your domain name, crushspot.com, is showing.

You'd need two or three (or more) dedicated servers. Typically one for some type of proxy and a few more with http daemons running on them serving pages.
