Problem is I experience the downtime on http tcp based connections at the same exact times on my vps monitor.
He was nice enough to offer me eventually hosting on a different node but that one was experiencing downtime blips as well so I never transfered my sites. I plan to just finish my months contract and then just move away.
My guess is the cabinet he uses to hosts these nodes with the vps servers on them are just strained on networking resources. He sells 10 terabytes of hosting per vps and in order for him to be able to fulfill that promise it would take 31.25 mbps per vps. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/archiv...t-1109632.html
Plus if these vps servers are high traffic going through some sort of denial of service filter. This denial of service filter system could be simply overloaded / underpowered to deal with large ammounts of traffic.
I originally started this thread in public forum to try and get him to actually deal with problems on his network. I started a support ticket one week before starting this thread and only opened this thread because I felt the problem was being ignored after several attempts to get them to actually look into the problem.

Contact them with extensive MTR reports to and from your VPS and see if that helps them diagnose the issue, if there is one.

Um.. So you have the 10TB bandwidth VPS package. I was having that too, but I just cancel it a few days ago, because it's not stable.
I have the same issues as you. Sometimes it shows offline, and suddenly rebooted.

I too have the 10TBVPS package and have already had tech support move me to a new node due to random stability problems. The new node looked good at first, but now it is starting to randomly be off line. Tech supports asks for proof of a problem, when all they have to do is look at the statistics for the VPS.
I have noticed alot of people in this thread saying that the way the data is being collected could be the problem. The data I have is coming straight from Semoweb's VPS Control Panel by SolusVM.
If you look at the charts I saved from the control panel you can see where the memory used is zero. This means that their VPS monitoring system is logging that the VPS is down. So why do they need more information from the end user, if they can tell that the VPS is down.
And as you can see from the log, I have not rebooted or shutdown the VPS since 5/3/2012.
Judging by the responses to the tickets, Tech support is checking to see if the VPS is up, not what is causing it to be unstable. With multiple people complaining about the same problem, I would look at the hosting not the end users.

How would a MTR report which is a network diagnostic tool, give more information than the hosting providers own, Virtual Private server management system that is used to provision the VPS? I can see the MTR giving information on the system being unreachable, but not with the load and memory usage being zero, which is an indication of the VPS being shutdown.
Here is a TRACEROUTE from the 1st node I was on. It shows a problem past the Hostdime.com. This was sent to semoweb with one of the earlier tickets I submitted to them.

How could those graphs occur without there being a problem? If you are saying their monitoring system cannot enable them to tell if they have a problem, then they should look at another. When a server is suppose to be up, the memory usage should never be zero.Last edited by moltra; 05-06-2012 at 08:29 AM.

MTR shows where there is a connectivity problem. If their nodes were physically going down, I'm sure they would have noticed by now.

I have a question for you. You get home and find out that your electric is out. What do you do? Do you call your electric company and report it? Or do you get in your car and start following the power lines to find out where the power is out? I can see giving the company information that might help them, but is that information useful, when their own systems are telling you that they are offline.
I know if I was running a company that supplied a service to consumers, (which is what my website is suppose to do), then I would make sure that I had the required infrastructure in place to ensure that the service was monitored and I was informed immediately if there was a problem.
For example, the data in my site is currently being used by one client and three more in the developement stage, I monitor my website and API constantly to ensure that my clients are getting what I promised them. I use various methods to ensure that my website and database is aviliable 24/7. And the service that I provide is at no cost to the clients.
So you are saying that they are using a subpar Virtual management system. If they are using a buggy virtual servar manager, then are they serving their clients? I know I would want as rock solid management system as possible. If the one I was currently using was "very buggy", then I would find another system, or put in place a method of telling if part of my system was down or unavailable.

@Flapadar, what would be a good site to use to monitor connectivity and help determine the cause of the reliability issues? I am not here to put down a company, or jsut to gripe. I have setup a generic test on pingdom to check the site, and I am looking for a site that does a traceroute on a regular basis.

I have started a couple of monitoring sites to help determine the cause of the reliability issues. I will update this thread with any problems that are found.

the more I look at the traceroutes, the more I think the problem is right at the node, or the switch that feeds the node.
