I got a cPanel notification that one of my client's had exceeded their bandwidth and so the site was down.
Checking, I found in AWStats that nearly 400+ MB was web traffic. It looks normal to me. However, AWStats simply grouped them all together under 'Others' without providing clear details.
Is there any other way I can find out what made up that 400+MB traffic?
What is it that makes a VPS better than all the others? What would compel you to sign up for one over another?

I can see thousands of free webhosts, many of which even don't put ads, and still support Databases, custom domains, even unbelievable bandwidths. Still, how does premium webhosts remain at the top? Or what is the problem with these free hosts?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'd like to get some feedback on what makes people sign up with a provider. On the flip side, what turns you away from a provider? Their site, feedback etc?
Personally, I like to see a provider that has reliability, stability and excellent customer care.
Hey, I'd be interested to hear a bit about the dedicated server features that would "turn you on" as potiential dedicated server client. What would make you go "WOW, thats cool", which features that would be indifferent to you and which ones you'd rather be with out...and why?
Thanks a lot for your input. I've listed a few options, but please feel free to post more below!
(also, just to make it clear, we (uk2group.com) does not offer all of these services, so this is not a lame attempt to spam or promote our services...)
Which is the most important? CPU, Memory or others?
Which company provides the most cost-efficient download servers?
I’m looking to find some opinions on what attributes constitute a superior reseller host. Anyone care to share?

wondering in general and specifically for woodcrest vs conroe and kentsfield vs clovertown
I can't find either
a) an explanation as to why the server cpu's are superior to the desktop equivilents
or
b) benchmarks comparing them.
even mainstream hardware sites like tomshardware has benchmarks for server hdd's, but not server cpu's for some reason.
apart from the ability to use dual cpu's in a single machine, what is the advantage? what warrants the price difference? are there benchmarks available anywhere to compare comparable models? (example, woodcrest xeon 5150 2.66ghz vs conroe c2d e6700 2.66ghz)
I run a wordpress blog with apache2+mysql5+php5 in a Debian vps with 1024mb ram (plus swap).
When you read the website everything works quick and smooth, but when you have to add data to the database (edit posts, write posts, write comments) something weird happens.
monitoring the system with the top and I see that, for example, as soon as an article has been posted (already got the "article posted" message in the page) the free ram goes suddenly down (some seconds) from 800mb to 0. Swapping starts and the website stops responding. in the meanwhile cpu "wa" goes high (90%++).
Typing ps aux I can see that is not mysql process's fault, actually it seems more that it's apache to cause this ram hogging, in fact an apache restart brings back tons of free ram.

trying to find a spammer on my system, who just sent out and is still sending out 4000+ emails...
i have a centos vps with whm.
looked at exim_mainlog, there's nothign telling. the message body is visible, but the links it points to arent' hosted by me. there is no return address, its sending mail as nobody. phpsuexec is not an option.
Anyone got any special programs or tools they use to find out what specific account and domain is abusing server resources?
I am running WHM/cPanel latest build along with the latest Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
I were already at two paid hosts and had no good experience.
Then I have tried a few freehosts and saw a lot of rubbish.
I searched and searched, chatted to support chats of hosts - but no luck yet!
then I came here and now I ask you to find a right (US) hosting service...
First I tell you what site I have, that you can truly estimate:
I have a private website and on it are many photoshop pictures for the design of my website (15kb-200kb per picture).
I offer 3D models for binary downloading in zip files (filesize
1 MB - 15 MB each). I need html, php, SSI, mysql, phpmyadmin, .htaccess and cpanel. I have alexa tracking, google ads and few other javascript tracking providers on my site which are loading heavy according to my former hosts opinion. I have few banner ads, popups, flash animations, the usual things on a site that it looks good to gamers.
Gamers are my main audience.
Diskspace used: currently 500 MB.*
Bandwidth: currently 150 GB / month*
Daily unique hits / pages: 15000.*
* Those values might grow in future.
Optional I have a bb forum for responses and questions installed, but I would reduce to HTML only, if it would be needed.
One host kicked me out without warning because of bandwidth / CPU, before I have used the bandwidth limit specified in my hosting plan.
Another one threw me out without notification because of 'abuse of server resources', whereby the reason or script has been not specified.
In both cases I have no clue what I had to do about.
I have only HTML, a MYBB, pictures, javascript, one database
and lots of traffic ofc.
Now I need a host who is willing / able to host that.
It's a private non-profit site, so the costs should be adequate.
I think I'm unable to go dedicated by fees, it should be still shared hosting.
My competition has similar sites, even larger. They host for free or for shared fees. I cannot ask them and didn't find out where they would host.
A domain I have already. Need just the DNS servers to point to a new host.

View 2 Replies View RelatedResponse time from my web server (running LAMP) was really slow this evening. mpstat showed nothing, CPU hovered under 5%, mem usage around 25%, iowait minimal. mysql processlist was mostly idle, no slow queries logged. Only other thing I can think of is the connection from the host itself? (Not my local connection as multiple users complained about slow performance.)
Concurrent users was higher than average, but shouldnt this manifest itself in higher CPU util?
My question was, is there something besides network latency I could be looking at? If it is network latency, what's the easiest way for me to confirm this? A simple ping?

I'm doing some research into EU data centres and was trying to find a list of good, reliable centres that offer good speeds to, and around, the whole of Europe - especially the UK.
The provider we currently use is LeaseWeb (NL), who have been very good, however, due to their servers being a very specific specification and currently not what we're looking for, we are looking for a good replacement.
I don't think I would like a centre that is located in the UK, whilst it would be better for us, it would not benefit all of our customers - a host somewhere in the middle would do great.
Currently have the following and pay $134 a month:
OS: CENTOS 4.7
Hardware: AMD HP A64 4200 DC/2GB/250GB SATA
Bandwidth: 1500GB
Control Panel: cPanel + Fantastico
IPs: 5 Useable
Location: US
I don't like my host, and would like to move to a similar price point with a new host. I am capable of managing almost all aspects of my server, only the initial configuration of things like PHP sometimes throw me.
This is my second time finding for a shared hosting. I am with ASMALLORANGE now, not that happy with it. I will post a review later on.
I need to host 3 sites, A static website; two wordpress.500mb space;
10gb bandwidth;
5 or more each for add-on domains; subdomain; email; sql etc.
Prefer to pay around $7USD. A buck more is alright.
I have a site that is currently hosted in Australia and loads relatively quickly there , but it is very slow in Uk and France.
Eli kindly set up a trial at blurstorm but I am unhapy with the way it loads in australia which is its primary audience.
how to get my speeds up with the site? ATM there is a 2.8 mb swf file that loads in about 5 sec in aus but about 20 in europe.
Blurstorm is faster in europe(france)but unacceptably slow in Aus.
Is blurstorm considered fast servers on their reseller plans? Or do I need to upgrade my expenditure to get what I want?
as you can see on my status2k 3306 is not my mysql port number. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I don't remember changing it and my host will not help me figure out what it is.
I have root login and it's running centos and cpanel.
to fire up a P4 in California to target Asia. GBLX or Sprint or AT&T transit is a must. The usage for this server would be a ~7mbps average with 5 hour daily bursts up to 20mbps(comes out to around 2300GB).
PacificRack seemed perfect for my needs, but won't answer sales emails...I've read good things, but i'm worried about signing up.
My budget is around $200, this shouldn't be a problem right?
See attached screencaps for load problem. I'm the only user on the machine and only run gallery2.
First response from support:
#########################
Load averaged is calculated by the number of processes that want to run / over how much CPU time they want.
On a multi processor box, you need to read load with a grain of salt.
A load of 4 on a box with 4 cpus is the same as a load of 1 on a box with a single cpu.
A load of 8 is not high enough for me to freak out on a 4 cpu box. I would up the limits of the stats processing in statistics configuration.
###########################
I replied:
Did you guys make any changes after my ticket? Load dropped, but the server was responding slowly, and when I clicked on apache status in WHM it said unable to process. I restarted apache via WHM and that error went away. Right now it says:
Server uptime: 59 minutes 34 seconds
Total accesses: 187164 - Total Traffic: 65.0 MB
CPU Usage: u641.12 s66.88 cu0 cs0 - 19.8% CPU load
52.4 requests/sec - 18.6 kB/second - 364 B/request
150 requests currently being processed, 0 idle servers
The gallery is performing faster since the reset.
Two questions:
1) Right after the reset the server load as reported by WHM jumped from 1 to 10 (where it remains) why?
2) When I see the load spike, say to 30, how can I figure out the cause? The load as reported by WHM might already be divided by four processors because when I put the gallery on a single core server, load jumps to 50+
They replied:

####################################
Support didn't give me much info, how do I find the cause of the load - looks like httpd - should I switch to a company that can install apache2 w/cpanel 11, which is multithreaded and could make better use of the 4(?) processors? Why did the load jump back up to "normal" after restarting apache?
You use "top", you see an Apache PID using 100% CPU - how do you find out which page it's displaying, basically anything to work out what's causing the problem?
The "top" display is great, but it's only a starting point.
