Decent, but I honestly wouldn't be happy with a load like that 24x7, IMHO. If that's what they tend to run at ( or heck if that's a 'low' for them ) then that's quite sad.

those are normal for me, sometimes the load is even heavier.

We have our machines running watchdog which would reboot a box if it ever spiked over 50 or so, thats a last resort level!!

I can't view it either, I assume it was professional?

Honestly, nothing wrong on those loads with a dual xeon as server..

Here it goes again, just now...

Not directed at anyone in particular, just thinking out loud but:
I wonder if those receiving low prices and high packages would see the move as a good one and stay, or if they would cry "price gouging" and leave anyway?

By putting their prices at the level they are, I would say a lot of their customers would cry "price gouging" and leave.

From what I can tell, they've positioned themselves for that low end market, where a majority of their customers don't really care if their site is down an hour per day. I think that's the customer level they're going for, but of course, there'll be who do care that signup.

Just my opinion.

can't view this, how about a screen cap

I'm running a forum which is hosted by site5, everything was fine.. But on these days, site5 really sucks.. MySQL always gets down, every 10 hours and now MySQL is down again, it's been 2 hours. I sent numerous emails but no respond from site5 team..

So, if you need a MySQL working always, NO to Site5!

Site5 uptime is o.k.

Probably due to too many sql connections by other sites on the same server. Try ask them whether they can move your site to a less crowded server.

Please contact site5 support channels. It is clear they have no interest in responding to the multiple threads here.

To me, I don't care how cheap it is--there is no excuse for the server being down. They have always had bad customer service for me and that is where I accepted the savings.
And they aren't super-cheap. For that, I have a server at 1&1. No problems there, but of course the transfer rates are much slower and none of the advanced features, but I'm happy with that too because I'm hardly paying anything.

What always ticked me off was Site5's blatently false advertising of near-instant customer service, and matt's blogging about service and management being the most important thing, when they basically demonstrate they have none.

Oh and of course there is the downright lying too, and covering up of anything in the forums.

Since my server's motherboard replacement yesterday, I hope that took care of the real problem, and I will again wait it out and see.
