I am running a youtube clone on a VPS with 512mb ram at Lunarpages.
Whenever I log into Plesk, I find that my system usage is extremely high. 90%++ even up to 100%. However my CPU usage is often less than 5%.
This problem often occurs when there is slightly more visitors on my site. I am talking about only 30++ visitors and this problem will occur and my site slows to a crawl and I have to restart the VPS.
The script or the server?
I have seen posts that some hosts suspend a user after they so many seconds of high server resource usage... I was wondering how this is done so that I can do this on my dedicated server.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my hosting to DreamHost PS (http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-vps.html) about 7 days ago, and after 3 days of evaluation i find no interest about it and decided to downgrade. But they rejected my request saying that the resource is too high, then came the long negotiation.
My question now is, would domains parked(not hosted) at dreamhost ate up memory of my PS?
Phase 1: Why didn't anyone warn me before the upgrade?
I wrote:
I found a few unreasonable facts about your statement of rejecting my downgrading request:
1. Dreamhost tempted me to upgrade when I was doing fine with share hosting;
2. Dreamhost didn't warn me with any condition or term of any kind, including downgrading would be rejected if memory reach a certain degree;
3. from the facts stated above, this upgrading thing is a total scam.
##comment: The upgrade took only a click of the button.
And their answer:
I'm sorry to hear you feel this way Ruiz. However, your accounts resource usage is above what will work on shared hosting. If we were to move you back, one of two things would begin to happen:
1 - your domains would affect the stability of the web server, slowing down other customers sites, or taking them down completely
2 - your own sites would begin to fail due to the high resource usage.
As such, we can not move you back until you've brought that usage down. However, I can understand why you would feel the way you do. As such, I'm willing to add a $15/mo subsidy to your PS service. What this means, is that the basic 150MB/MHz you have to pay for will be free, all you will need to pay for would be any resources you allocate beyond the first 150MB. If this is alright, let me know and I'll go ahead and add the subsidy to your account.Phase 2: Why my hosting suddenly ate up so much memory?
I said:
I haven't recieved any email mentioning that my domains are using too much resource BEFORE THE UPGRADE for almost ONE WHOLE YEAR, how come suddenly they are? Is it some kind of malfunction or misconfiguration of your PS that causes the problem? If it is, why should I pay for it?
They answered:
It isn't a "sudden" issue. Your sites have been using whatever resources they need for as long as you've been on the PS. It appears you've had spikes as high as 600MB of memory in your usage, and if you look at your graph over the last month: ...
I am wondering if simultaneous downloads could take up a lot of CPU/Ram usage? Could a celeron server with 512MB handle simultaneous downloads and how many users can it support simultaneously? The server will be serving as a pure download, no database, no php, no cgi, no nothing. And what is the highest mbps this server could potentially reach?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been running website for several years, however, there's one thing that I've never quite figured, most likely because I haven't gone over to dedicated/vps yet.
How much memory would a static 10kb HTML use or for that matter a PHP page (static)?
I know it's quite a broad question, but I'm asking this as I might start a project and this one page may receive many hits. Oh and, would the memory usage go up if I have embedded objects from an outside source (e.g. embedded Youtube videos)?
Excessive resource usage: dbus (2015)

I recently migrated a load of domains from a pleks 8.? install to a plesk 12 one. As part of the migration a new reseller was created but all the resellers domains got "lost". They were all there and working but not appearing in the interface.
I did some googleing and fixed this problem and can now see all the domains and when I look at the reseller plesk tells me it has 0 own customers, 0 own plans and 0 own subscriptions. However, if I look at the resources tab it tells me that 7 domains out of unlimited are being used.I just wondered where plesk get's that info from and if it is safe to delete that reseller without risking the domains getting deleted too.
I'm on PPA 11.5 MU#2 (Should upgrade to MU#3 soon). My problem is that the Usage of Disk Space for all my customers subscriptions are not calculated. I've run the daily maintenance script (which it actually runs periodically), but there's no update on the display.

I got 5 wordpress and 5 statics website on this server and 100 visitors by 24H00 each day.
Question 1 : Why the memory is so low and the swap so high ?

Question 3 How can i resolve this problem ?
I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
My current server stats:
Dual Xeon 5130
4GB RAM
250GB
50 Mbit/sec
CentOS 3.9
Website traffic stats:
15,000 visitors/day
150,000 pageviews/day
Serving videos
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.
When a reseller create a service plan themselves...is there any way to limit the CPU and memory setting for the application pool to recycle on their own created plan?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a vps and its quite a new one since i just ordered it and transfered everything from my previous..
But im getting really high cpu useage and im wanting to know whats best ways to optimize this...
I know about high CPU usage and how it works against a webmaster when his host decides to suspend an account over this.
My question is what kinds of scripts usually cause CPU Usage to bulk up.
Basically what the script is doing, that just makes it happen.
I tried Google, but i guess poor choice of keywords .

now iam haveing more that 0.50-1.20 cpu useage,also cpu useage is also increased i hosted only 6 site out what only one site use MSQL all other site are plain download site,how to reduce the cpu load can u figure me out this issue also give me some tips to reduce the cpu usage
I noticed high cpu usage on my server since a couple of days ago. I neither updated software nor changed the configurations on the server. The server load was about 0.5 ~ 1.0 but now the average CPU load does not go below 5.0
when I stop apache (1.3) the load goes down and as soon as I start it up the load start increasing.
I checked for DoS but it seems nothing exists of this type.
I tried to follow the access_log file but from the first view nothing is strange there.
I don't have any control panel on the server. just Apache, FTP and SSH installed.
Since yesterday named started to use more cpu than usual. Techs "refuse" to work with that issue and saying that its's normal. Though all the time had no problems, haven't added hundreds of domains yesterday and there were no changes from my end.
There was one change from techs side however.
"the MX record for the domain was going to localhost, rather than the domain name. I have changed the MX record to domain..."
Anything I should check? Logs doesn't provide anything valuable, just notices.

I purchased a VPS at wiredtree to upload a site that is in the works so that it would be "ready" once it was launched (had it sitting on a shared server before). So I have this domain on there, as well as a small wordpress blog. In total I'm get a very miniscule trickle of visitors to these websites (as they are not officially launched), around 100 visits per day, many of which are only 1 pageview visits.
My problem is, my server is already idling over its memory limit of 256mb. This is causing major slowdowns, and processes like cpanel are constantly be killed and I can't login.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my high memory usage? I just can't image that the visitors I am getting are doing much, as for the majority of the day I have absolutely no one viewing my domains, yet my memory usage is still over the limit.
Wiredtree support says its up to me to optimize my msql/php scripts etc for low mem usage, but I don't see how this will help when there is no one using them in the first place.
For some reason cpanellogd always had huge memory usage in the realm of 40-90% when running logs for one particular site, which inturn sends the server load to 25-40.
What can cause this? I have delete logs after stats run enabled and all the usuall.
I was wondering is someone can shed some light on a curious situation for me. I am running a linux server (Gentoo) and the CPU usage spikes to 90-100% but the load of the server when viewed by top is only 0.4 - 1.5 (max). The memory is OK with .5 gig free and there is no paging going on. So my question is: Is this server over used or not?
