ServINT VPS - $89/month Service Slow On Me
I was always happy with the $49/month VPS ServInt service.
My server was slow and it would only be fast for the first few hours I restart the server or contact the customer service.
I upgraded about a month ago to the $89/month service which supposedly gives me more memory/traffic, etc. I noticed the server got a lot faster!
But now after a month.. it's slow again.
What is the next step from here? Is it the way my website is designed, do I need to upgrade to their $129/month for more memory? do I need to get a dedicated server?
ThanksSpoofee

has your traffic increased over the last month? email the noc and ask them their opinion? they might be able to make some suggestions, help you optimise your servers performance.

Kenji4861,
Your website appears to be MySQL based. Therefore, you can install mytop and see if your MySQL database is referenced a lot under it.
You can install mytop with a few simple commands:
Code:[root@server]cd /tmp [root@server]wget http://jeremy.zawodny.com/mysql/mytop/mytop-1.4.tar.gz [root@server]tar -zxvf mytop-1.4.tar.gz [root@server]cd mytop-1.4 [root@server]perl Makefile.PL [root@server]make [root@server]make test [root@server]make install [root@server]mytop
If you haven't already done so, you should install eAccelerator.
You can find eAccelerator at http://www.eaccelerator.net.
Lastly, you can try turning KeepAlive off in your httpd.conf file. This may decrease peformance a little but, it will decrease load which may actually increase perfromance too.

Looks like your PHP isnt cached or gzipped. As Elix said install eAccelerator. Check our your my.cnf configuration too, post it here and we can have a look at it. Check your tables make sure they have the proper indexes.

ServInt (seems to suffer a lot from slow speeds it seems (at least that's what I gather from reading these VPS threads). The reason for this is, they most likely have a lot of VPSs on a particular server. Their servers might be very beefy, but when overloaded, well...you know the story.YourCheapHost.com - Low cost multi domain hosting solutions. [Legal adult content friendly]

Installing zend optimizer is easy
1. Download Zend Optimizer from site. https://www.zend.com/store/free_download.php?pid=13
2. Backup your php.ini
cp /etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini.backup
3. Extract the tar file
tar zxvf ZendOptimizer-2.5.x-Linux_glibc21-i386.tar.gz
4. Change to Zend Directory
cd ZendOptimizer-2.5.x-Linux_glibc21-i386
5. Run installer
./install.sh
Installer now asks you the following.
A. Specify the location where to install Zend Optimizer:
/usr/local/Zend
B.Confirm the location of your php.ini file:
/etc
C. Are you using the Apache webserver?
Yes
D. Specify the Apache configuration directory:
/etc/httpd/conf (Note this is different per install, please change as needed)
E. The install script should now detect the right Version of PHP. Choose "Yes" to proceed.
F. Specify the Apache bin directory:
/usr/sbin (Note this is different per install, please change as needed)
After that, your php.ini is automatically relocated to /usr/local/Zend/etc and a symlink is created.
6. Restart Apache
service httpd restart
Good tutorial on installing eAccelerator. Install zend before eaccelerator. Also if using both at the same time please install eaccelerator as a php extention.

I also upgraded my Servint VPS to the $89/month because load speeds take way too long and the speeds are alot better after the upgrade. However, once in a while, it still does get a bit slow. For an email I got from them, they said it was my neighbors pounding on the server. I really hope there is a better way of minimizing the effect of other vps users have on me.

I've been looking around on your website and particularly noticed that you have a large forum. Something that will help increasing your performance a lot is installing eaccelerator. That will cache php pages until they change - which is really useful for forums.
Recently our company has even started to officially support eAccelerator because it works incredibly well - particularly the newest versions.
Give it a shot - if you need help just ask

In other words, how do you ensure that it doesn't keep using all the disk space you have?
Many thanks,

Set this in your eaccelerator php.ini config
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="3600"
That cleans it every hour

ask servint to install eacellerator and possibly make some httpd.conf or mysql tweaks...let THEM decide how to best optimize it...they know what else is going on within the server

Pruning every hour, or deleting every week seem like defeating the purpose to me.
Surely the developers that made this 'popular' caching app have someway better for managing these files?
Can it be set to delete/overwrite the oldest as my cache directory reaches a certain limit, rather than just time based?
Thanks.
