    I need a good host

    Hello,

    I am currently hosted by Simplexwebs but I want to move. My site is getting bigger and my CPU is always hitting 100%. I need a hosting Similar to Medialayer (I use them for my other website) and I use the NL server, Unfortunately they have one server I guess in NL so I don't want to host 2 websites in the same server.

    I want a European shared hosting. I need 10GB of space and 100GB of bandwidth and I am willing to pay up to $35/mo.

    I am looking for a good uptime and good speed (Litespeed).

    Please don't recommend me Stable host - Hawkhost as all use cloudlinux and this won't resolve my problem.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    have you tried to identify what causes your website to hit 100% cpu?
    the CPU is a CPU in any webhost, and if you got a runaway php script that hogs the CPU, you most likely will get suspended on any shared server.
    also considering the fact it hits 100%, it might even cripple a VPS.

    I cannot recommend anything viable without getting some more technical details about your issue, as it seems to be not related to your current hosting providers CPU.
    please share some more information about your site, are you using wordpress? have you tried to implement caching ? , do you have a PHP&mysql coder which can identify the origin of the CPU loads from your website?

    If thats what you mean by using cloudlinux your website is hitting 100% of cpu usage allow I would recommend you to stay away from Shared Hosting. You are only going to find your self using more CPU than allow and get suspended. For the price you would pay for, you should be able to find a quality VPS.

    I would also suggest getting a VPS Package. You have a really good budget and the disk space and bandwidth you want are really low . So you can get a really good vps.
    Probably you could get a managed one with that amount ( if you dont have administration skills ), or a VPS With a control panel if you want to manage it and dont have really great knowledge using terminal.

    It would be better you can sign up the VPS hosting instead of shared Hosting because your budget seems to be good and with this price you will get all requirement as well your own VPS server instead shared.

    But do take what beastserv said into consideration. If you have a run way php script you might want to get that fixed first. But if no scripting problems just a busy site then VPS is your only option

    You may want to think about getting a VPS at this price. Check IntoVps, they have servers in Romania and Netherlands.

    Any shared hosting providers will limit you if you are using high cpu. It is normal.

    If you do not want the limit, then go for dedicated server where you can do whatever you want.

    Try to find why your website use reaches 100%. If you can optimize it somehow to limited use they shared hosting will do. I will recommend to go for VPS. That will be better for you. For dedicated you should increase your budget a bit.

    No need for a dedicated from the requirements that you posted previously. A quality VPS should be sufficient for your needs.

    Your budget vs quota seems fine. You can try some hosts that offer a money back guarantee. Best way to test different hosts performance/uptime wise.

    I'm amused how you found such a divergent pair. Stablehost is easily one of the five best hosts I have ever used in 15 years, while the other one is literally the worst (not exaggerating -- quite literally, they are the worst that I've ever used). Quite a few hosts use LiteSpeed. It's somewhat ubiquitous now. I'd say it's actually harder to find one running off Apache now, or the somewhat more obscure nginx/Apache or Varnish/Apache setups.
    __

    CloudLinux or 1H Hive is another consideration. The OP doesn't want these because he seems to want free range to abuse the servers -- using a shared servers as if it were his own personal VPS or dedicated box. Sorry, but that's not how it works. The OP really needs to get a quality VPS, possibly even cloud (IaaS) or dedicated, if CPU is an issue. Hosts don't want to open their shared servers to CPU overuse -- that's precisely why CloudLinux and 1H is used!

    For that budget, Futurehosting or JaguarPC have managed VPS plans in the $35-40 range.

    If that still doesn't help, you'll need to hunt for more obscure managed Xen/KVM/VMWare ESXi type plans.

    Also just because your site is not loading fast/has errors with one provider doesn't necessarily mean you need a VPS/Dedicated server, your account may just be on a bad server setup with too many limits in place, though I doubt that's the case with SimpleXWebs. I'm surprised they haven't replied to this thread already...

    Important to remember that some providers do allow more resources than others due to less overselling/overloading, being slightly more expensive, etc. It depends on the business model.

    Greetings,

    We definitely do not have too many limits in place -- our hosting plans are designed to meet the needs of resource of thirsty websites that require a lit more power. We provide the same CL limits as a 2.67Ghz server with 1GB memory. There are no mail sending restrictions etc. so I am curious as to why the OP wishes to move.

    OP, perhaps you have a troublesome ticket ID I can look into? Or could you let us know your domain name? I'd like to know what problems you have (if any -- perhaps you want to move for price reasons?) and resolve them.

    Have a nice day everybody!

    This is my CPU - Most of the time at 100.

    http://i.imgur.com/buZAI.png

    I talked to them and the answer was
    Your CPU usage shouldn't be that high. This could either be due to a surge in traffic or due to a badly designed script. I suggest you look at your stats pages for spikes in traffic, and if that doesn't help, let us know and we'll try to help you find what script is causing this.
    It wasn't like that before. I used to hit 100 few times, but since they moved the server to manchester I guess? my CPU is always hitting the 100. My site is the same.

    Tbh, that's not the main reason. My site before 10 days went offline for like 6 hours or so.
    I apologise for the delay. The issue here was that our LiteSpeed automatic update failed on the your server and so it reverted back to Apache. I've manually resolved this now and your website is functioning correctly.
    The server went offline for 40+ minutes last weekend.

    I have a paid campaign I run it on my site and the company that pay me can't have the site offline a lot.

    If you're having a cow over lost income from 40 minutes of downtime, you don't belong on a shared server. Sorry if that seems rude, but it's just blunt honesty. You should probably consider moving to a VPS, if you need to micromanage control and better ensure uptime. An not an OpenVZ container, either. Maybe even failover cloud hosting.

    I agree with kpmedia. In my honest opinion if somebody is paying you for your online services then you should get something a little more isolated then. Sounds like you should get a quality VPS.

    See the thing is shared host sometimes get some abuses or just has many different people which leaves it open for DDoS attacks, Server Load capped, man many other factors as well that can happen just because of random people on a server. 99% uptime still is pretty easy to maintain but point is if that server happens to go down for an hour because some user got on your shared server and happend to scam the wrong guy so he decides to send a 1TB DDoS attack yea you can bet your going offline.

    So you should consider something a little more isolated for that reason to get better uptime response and less factors that can take you down.

    Did you ask them on what is their CPU limit? What % or number of cores?

    Greetings,

    I did chime in earlier, 2.67Ghz CPU and 1GB RAM. We've made it perfectly clear from our tickets (that Red_wolf6 posted above) that it's a website hogging resources. In my time at Simplex I've seen ~10 websites hit the limits -- those clearly do not belong in a shared environment (even our more powerful service).

    It looks like I may have missed this. So the CPU limit is just 1 Core?

    I believe it is 25% of 4 cores, equating to 2.67Ghz of processing power.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    @OP: This is not a very high limit so you will not need a VPS for your site.

    Most host uses CloudLinux nowadays so it will be hard for you to avoid it but you may want to go with a hosting provider and hosting plan that provides a higher amount of CPU resources.
