I am having trouble accessing my site. It may as well be down. Could someome tell me just how bad this is and what could cause it.
Server load and memory especially[red in server status]. Back up at the bottom is always red. Thanks

Its really bad. Just about anything could cause this. The server admin will have to find the problem.

Please show us your list of current running processes.

Server Load is definently a problem. Is this your server, or are you on shared hosting?

Wow... You would think the server admin would have already checked on this and fixed it...

Just a thought, do they run game servers on the same server as they host your website?

[joneq]

I think they are running game servers with regular websites. This is not my server. When I am having problems so is there website. It is cheap, but not free. I am not even sure they have more than 1 server . I will direct them to this thread and see what they have to say. I tried to get in touch with them at their forum but after waiting like 5 mins to connect I came here. I mentioned something to them this morning and the numbers were.


Server Load 5.59 (1 cpu) Memory Used 93.7 %

and

Server Load 4.36 (1 cpu)

Trouble is that they host free gamers[post to host] with paying customers.

Terrible way to run a web hosting business. I would find another host. Cheap = Cheap...

[joneq]

went back to their forun to post a link to this thread and the post I made this morning has been conveniently deleted. Something about an error occurred I cannot reply to my own thread.

Basically The post consisted of "with these numbers ]Server Load 5.59 (1 cpu) Memory Used 93.7 %
and
Server Load 4.36 (1 cpu)]

can I expect problems. I need to work on it "

That site 5 sounds pretty good. I obviously cannot host with these guys,but I may use it as a back up

IF you are constantly experiencing issues with your host (like this one) I would certainly suggest you move however if this is not a common occurance I would suggest you give them another chance.

No this is defininitely not the first time,nor will it be the last. I know that for sure. There is too much free post to host game hosting at the expense of paying members that don't game. I really never know if my site will be available or not. I am not really sure of why the problem occurrs it is a guess on my part. The fact that it happens is the real problem and I am not guessing about that.

I would definately be looking for a new host. If your site means nothing or very little to you (which I'm sure is not the case), then stay. I did that with my very first site. Procrastination caught up with me until I couln't retrieve anything. Learned the hard way, but that was years ago.

If you plan on moving, backup everything now and do your research.

[markjut]

Get a new host - thats a very high server load

[OmegaHost]

Make sure you do a FULL back up of your site. If thats a constant CPU they could burn out the server.

[redone]

I would backup your site and start looking for a new host!
