How can I prove to my web hosting company that the server is extremely slow and overloaded?
If I call support, they are saying that it is fine for them. But I've checked with different internet connections and it's slow.
I want to be moved to another server or get a partial refund or something. At this point my website is unusable during peak business hours.... and I get barley any traffic.
I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?
this is my server and i host only one site as upload image but it is too slow and usully apache down
how i can optimize this server please

My server is so slow I don’t know where the problem is
Server Load from 2 to 8 Monthly bandwidth 1300 GB Unique visitor 4000 - 5000 daily Page loads 13.000 – 20.000
This is current server features
Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz 1024MB RAM Bandwidth: 1500GB
I dont know much about what could be cuasing this so i come to you for advice, i am currently at wired tree on their VPS384 package with 348MB of ram and my site is really slow to load [url]sometimes it is so embaressing to show people i just dont bother, i am sure this is deferring visitors from my content how can i speed this up?
I can add more ram but it will push the price and if the price goes too high i might aswell move to a Hybrid with wiredtree.
problem with my server running CentOS 5.3.
I noticed that there are huge pings to my server from time to time, example:

64 bytes from HOSTNAME (server-IP): icmp_seq=11 ttl=60 time=1205 ms
------------------
First I thought that it is network related, but most strange for me was that I did not have any packets lose.
Then I tried to ping from my server to other hosts - situation was the same - some ping were good and some were huge (700ms, 800ms, even 2000ms)
I checked:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max
and it was 65536
Then I checked:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_count
and it was ~1600 so normal.
dmesg was showing such errors:
conntrack_ftp: partial 227 3331059707+13
Then I checked ifconfig, here is the output:
------------------

------------------
Strange for me was:
RX packets [...] dropped:2421127049
TX packets [...] dropped:46
I did not have such dropped information on all my other servers. Dropped counter for RX was constatnly increasing.
So I decided to restart all services on the server. After restarting network and ipaliases - problem disappeared. RX dropped counter is still rising, but I do not have any slowdowns on the server and pings are normal.
My question is - does anyone could have any idea what can casue my problem and how can I prevent this in the future?
i have a strange problem at my server ,
i hosted 1 wesite ( forum script with no plugins )
when my traffic consuption reache to 25mbs the server running very slow for hours although the load avarage is very normal 1-2 Iowait 3% ram consumption 8-10Gb
my uplink port 1Gb and of course my DC said the connection is normal with no limitation
the server specs are good
Quad procs 7200 ,16Gb ram ,15K SCSI speed
connections reache to 2000-2500 per seconds
My dedicated server starts to be a bit too slow.
But on Munin it seems just fine.
what can i do to solve this problem ?
This is the link to munin :

My server gets 300 - 600 concurrent connections to http port 80, has a CPU load of 1 - 2%, has practically all RAM of 1 GB used, is running apache 2 and centos 5.
It tends to get slow and when I ban IPs that use many connections to my server (raping it), it becomes fast again. But soon after that new ******* users come which I again ban and the process repeats itself
I'm starting to think that maybe I just don't have enough RAM to handle them because it seems at least some of those users are legit. I don't however have even that much content that needs to be cached so I'm not sure what good RAM would do but perhaps apache just needs more.
Server is responding slow!
My server is responding slow
My server (Xeon 3.0Ghz) went down for no reason yesterday and ever since it was rebooted (and I've rebooted a couple of times since then), pages load extremely slowly or just timeout. Server load is constantly hovering around 1 and top stats indicate that the server's resources are not under heavy load, which is contrary to the usual pattern during peak times.
I've checked netstat and I notice a lot of SYN_RECV. Could this be a DoS attack? If so, what steps do I take to stop it?

I'm based in the UK and recently I purchased a midphase ns01 dedicated server.
All was going well until I decided to test out downloading a file from the server. The transfer rate on the download was and still continues to be terrible. (I did a traceroute and ping on the server as shown below.)
My ISP is AOL with a connection speed of 100 mbps.
Heres the traceroute and ping of my midphase server...

========================================================
I was just wondering if anyone based within the uk was experiencing similar problems with midphase or perhaps has some suggestions as to how I can remedy this problem?
The subject line pretty much sums up my major problem. My site has been intermittently slow (somtimes slow, sometimes not) for... like since I can remember. So my site isn't that big
Sometimes for me it takes forever to load a vbulletin page, or even the main page of the site. I thought I had found the problem (a mysql-intensive script), removed it, improved things quite a bit, but there is still a long way to go!
Many site users report the same exact things.
"The site is sloowww" ...
"It wasn't slow yesterday but it is today" ...
"Today it's really fast, but last week I was having problems pulling up pages".
Its fustrating becase this is a VPS, and although I know how to use Cpanel, WHM is really big and I am not sure what I could do to speed up my website or to even begin to locate any potential problems.
My site is basically Joomla CMS, vBulletin BBS and 4images image gallery. The later two use a common user database. My current mysql usage is 327.55MB in total. Apache 1.3.34, PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.1.19-standard. Powered by WHM/Cpanel & Virtuozzo.
What should I do? Where can I start? Where can I look?
I have a dedicated server that I am renting that appears to randomly respond very slowly for some reason (pings are between 90-4000ms with about 75% packet loss).
This has been happening lately (about once a week for the past 4 weeks) and I thought I had originally found the cause of the problem but it appears I haven't.
Originally, when this problem was happening we were getting an abnormally high about of traffic but a reboot always fixed the issue. I've checked every where I can think of but I cannot find anything out of the ordinary.
ight now we're averaging less than 2Mbps in traffic, the CPU load is less than 0.75, the memory usage is at 55% with no swap being used, Apache connections are normal, no active SSH, FTP, or mail connections, I've restarted all services which had no impact, I've checked the access and error logs but can't see anything out of the ordinary.
I have a ticket open with the data center but I'm trying to figure this out on my own to fix whatever is causing this so I can move my data over to a new server we just got setup over the weekend in a local data center.
I rented a server from VD a month ago and hosted some of my websites. But I'm constantly noticing that my websites are loading very slow. How can I check if other users are experiencing the same problem, or if the problem lies with my Internet connection?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used the mail function in php to send mails to my 25000 members in a loop..
After using it my server has gone very slow.. Load has increased a lot from 2 to around 20.. Major load is taken by sql and then httpd (both have increased)..
I had restarted mysql and httpd.. even reinstalled apache but no help..
I have a dual processor, dual core server with 12GB memory.. It uses less than 4% CPU utilization and less than 5% memory utilization, but for some reason It's really slow to load sites...
I know this isn't much information, but would any have any ideas as to what could cause the slow speed?
If is anyone is available to look at it, I'll pay you (obviously).
Mysql server always busy and slow (in my VPS).
How I can know which website/account uses mysql very heavely?
or just any monitoring Idea?
I want to know which user is responsible of that overuse?
I recently made a shift to FDC for one of my servers that I use for downloadable content.
I went for a $199 server with a 100mbps shared bandwidth port. Now, the only problem I seem to be having with it is that downloads appear to be, I would say recognized, very slowly by the server before they start, however, once the download starts I get a full speed. This usually happens during peak times.
I'm using about 10/15mbps on the server according to my cPanel statistics. I just wanted to ask here prior to contacting FDC on this, whether this slow server response time has something to do with the bandwidth port, or perhaps the server's RAM, CPU, etc? Given I'm using quite minimal bandwidth on the port, should I consider having them fix this or upgrade the server instead?
And if I had to upgrade, would I need to upgrade the port or the RAM, or both for this?
My server has a small load (about 30% of it is being used) and it is still running very slow. When I reboot it runs fast for about 5-10 min, and then it is back to slow. I reported this to hivelocity and the responded with
"
The problem was one of your apache process was pegged out. Restarting apache resolved this issue. If you still have issues check top and run lsof on the process ID that is pegged out."
and after it continued
"It will continur to happen until you isolate the source of the issue and stop it.
The load looked fine just now, so I am not seeing an issue.
What you can do is when it pegs out (simply restarting webserver will get it back up but not resolve) run the following command:
ps -aux
Look through the processes to see what is calling it."
Whn I run ps -aux i see a username on my server. i suspended that username but the problem is still happening.
My server is hosted within a Virtuozzo VPS Server, and it runs very slow. Sometimes, when I type commands via shell, it takes 1-2 seconds to be echoed.
I've just checked free memory ('free -m') and it seems to be ok:
Code:
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 8104 7642 461 0 220 3979
-/+ buffers/cache: 3443 4661
Swap: 4094 0 4094
If I check "ps -ef" I don't see any weird process and with "top" the most memory-wasting process is 'mysqld' (0.8%).
Which extra parameters might I check?
My machine is pretty good. Here are the specs:
Intel Xeon-Woodcrest 5148-DualCore
3 gigs of ram
250GB Western Digital WD Cavia
I run a forum with a modest amount of traffic along with a content management system handling the other sections of the website. I'm pretty sure the forum isn't the problem though.
The server load for this machine is almost never above a 1. Right now as I type this the load is at 0.17, but it's unbearably slow! Taking up to 16 seconds to load a single page.
What could be causing this? I'm a server n00b. Is there a setting I should be doing to one of my servers configuration files to make it run faster?
My website gets 30-40,000 visitors a day and these problems always occur during peak hours. It would be easier to deal with this though if not for the fact that the server load is always so low. How is it possible for the site to get so slow while the server load is always so low?
I am using Putty to connect to my server via ssh.
When opening a direct connection, i can login quickly without any problem

Im having problems contacting 1paket.com support. The site is mighty slow and unreachable at times.
I have sent two requests and got no reply. is there phone number for 1paket support?
I am currently hosting my website on one server with the specs:
2.8ghz Dual Quad-Core processor + 8 gigs of ram + two 500 hard drives with a 50 mbps unmetered bandwidth package.
My current problem lies in high server loads and very slow server performance throughout the day.
I am considering migrating over to The Planet onto server with the specs:
3.0ghz Dual Quad-Core + 18 gigs of ram + two 50gb hard drives with 2TB of monthly bandwidth transfer.
In an attempt to have great bandwidth pricing and server performance, I plan on downgrading my current server with my current host to a lowe-end server and keeping it only to host my VIDEO and MUSIC files with the 50mbps unmetered package. The Planet will then host my database and all other web related files on their new server.
Is this a good idea as an attempt to save money in bandwidth costs and eliminating my server lag issues?
I was offered a setup of a separate web and database server at my current host but from what I have read, no one touches the performance and reliability The Planet has to offer.
I have a server with a overheating problem and a network problem.
(With a lot of users connecting to it every second)
Well, recently the server started to get slow then finally it was up on KVM but network connections do not work.
After reboot, it works for around 10+ hours but it won't last for a day as it gets slower then unconnectable.
When I look at the logs, I see this:
