My host says am out of memory and got only 4MB left...
So am quite lost here..
My specs are as follows:
AMD phenom q9600
4GB memory
first of all how is this possible ?
I have in all 17 domains hosted and only 5 accounts as this is a new server..
Things runnig on it is A video sharing website, which is currently not being used, a social network (10 or less visits per day and the rest html pages)
I have a VPS. And have had an issue both when it was 1Gig and now I recently downgraded it to 768m, because I am moving some sites to a dedicated.
However, the part I am having trouble grasping is that when I look at graphs from Munin, it will typically always show 200-400MB free memory (and free -m and top agrees with munin), but Munin shows 'committed' memory that is above the total Ram on the VPS and once the 'committed' ram exceeds the VPS limit, processes start failing.
So, why is 'committed' memory exceeding the RAM on my VPS, when Munin, free -m and top all show there is free memory available?
Code:
root@server [~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 768 449 318 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 449 318
Swap: 0 0 0
Here's a graph that munin produces that shows the 'committed' memory exceeding the total memory.

I just got a new server Dual E5520 with 6GB RAM, SAS 15k rpm raid10. It's running well. However, the memory usage is just around 2.5GB, even when I have more traffic. Here is the kernel info

Any idea that we can put more content into memory?
I just ordered a server from serverbeach that should have come with 2 GB but I see that this one comes with 8 GB
Unfortunately, I seem to be missing 7 GB of ram.
Installed Physical Memory: 8 GB
Total Physical Memory: 1 GB
Windows 2008 Server Web 32-bit
Now, being a 32-bit system, I should see 3-4 GB of ram right?
Any idea why only 1 GB is available for the OS?

I have a 512mb DV server with Mediatemple, which I am running 24 (ish) domains off (most of them static websites) and a teamspeak server. I would say MAX theres 10 users online at a time)
Now, I know its running out of memory because i get frequent QoS Alerts in plesk (kmemsize is apparently the memory size):

I have attached my results (when I did top).
My questions are:
1. Should I be expecting to be out of memory running what I am?
2. Is there a way to see the problem domains (memory wise)?
3. Are there any ways I can reduce the memory? (I have followed this already:

4. Where is the memory usage coming from (I am finding it very hard to understand TOP)
I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.
In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?
I'm wondering if you can tell me something about your experience with a host/server in a different country or overseas.
My webpage will be mostly frequented by Australians.
What do you think is the advantage and the disadvantage of having a host in your own country and having one overseas?
I'm thinking about stability, traffic speed, peak hours in different time zones, customer service, ....
What are your experiences?
I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

This is for just a couple of simple domains and sites to be hosted.
with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?
I am hoping someone with experience of these things can comment on memory usage on my VPS partition. The master server on which my partition sits seems to be running at full memory usage and I'm getting lots of fork and mutex errors in apache causing apache to crash several times a day.
I'm running Invision Power Board on there with an average of 100 users in the last 15 mins during most of the day.
oomguarpages and privmpages are reported in 4KB blocks.
Hello everyone.i run LAMP on a dedicated server at theplanet.I have a small vbulletin forum.
I m planning to move to a new server.Just a quick question.for my new hardware,do i give more emphasis to ram or cpu...i will be getting 2 gb at the minimum.
SO,is LAMP dependant more on cpu resources or ram?
I previuosly have a forum hosted on a VPS with a 512 MB RAM (OpenVZ) and at that time it was only using 300MB of ram during peak time but the server was always down due to harware failures so I move to a new host this time Using Xen with a 768 RAM now it is using all the RAM available which is double the ram that it uses before. Is it really normal for a XEN vps to consume more memory than on a VPS using OpenVZ?

Which is also confussing to me because I am the only user. I didnt do any backups didnt have any major traffic. And my disk space "memory used" didnt change.
How much memory would I need to run a couple of websites, with gallery,postgresql,wordpress,dotproject,spamassassin on top of usual apache, mysql, php etc?
Most of the cheap VPS starts from 196MB or 256MB. 512MB upgrades are expensive :p
How much extra memory do I need on a VPs to be safe ?
Do I need something like 20% more of what I actually use just to be safe?
I am trying to optimize my VPS setup and can't seem to get it to use all of the memory that I have. I have problems even getting it to use half of it. What kind of changes can I make so that it uses more memory while reducing load? My recent MySQL and Apache conf optimizations I have read about here and other sites have sent my loads above 1, but the memory usage is staying the same.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've a question with XEN VPS. I rented vps with sweden provider and its 20 GB HD and 256MB memory. The setup isnt bad, done within 1 day. I check inside the vps and its XEN VPS.
I tried "top" command and wow, I am supprised !! here what I saw
Mem: 262320k total, 208708k used, 53612k free, 54680k buffers
isnt it funny ? 50MB++ left(not yet run anything, no panel running too). is it normal ?
I have other vps running inside virtuozzo, and got 192 MB inside. even its running so many process inside(about 15) that takes about 5-10MB each, its still have more left than XEN.

I noticed that, VPS with Xen technology, are using up far more memory than others?
Lets say, I usually use about 300mb of ram in a VPS with openvz, but VPS with xen, with the same usage, is using about 820mb of ram.
Even without running anything...after a fresh install of centos 5, with only few OS processes, its using around 170mb of ram already.
Is this so with Xen? The expected ram usage with Xen? Or am I missing something?
I have this 512MB memory VPS plan from fdcservers.net and it kept running out of memory.
The memory went up and down like roller coaster every seconds although I switched off httpd. Anyone can tell me what RAM do they assign to my VPS? Here's the beancounter results: [Please find the result in the attachment] Dont know why webhostingtalk mess up the spaces between each texts.
We are running into yellow status often at our new VPS. We have been with the web host for almost 1 year and recently got moved to a new VPS. WHM often show a yellow status for Memory Used (80% or so). As per the web host, WHM shows RAM for the entire server and not just our VPS. So how can we determine how much RAM we are using so? And to determine if we are using more RAM than we should or if others on the server are the culprit?
never got this yellow status on the old VPS.
if someone here could offer their advice/expertise in this problem. I have a 256MB CPanel VPS. When Apache is restarted, memory is around 180MB which is perfect
However, before long, memory usage is at 240MB. Looking at top processes, this is the top 5 i get...

The main site serves up php content (No mySQL) and a few images. It also has a LOT of image requests which are redirected by photobucket via .htaccess.
The secondary site on the server (not yet launched) is going to be an arcade site running gamescript. I have been hesitant to release this site untill these memory issues are sorted.
My VPS Service Status showing
Memory Used 70.4 %
is that normal? how I can less memory used.

Second I just got following email from system
"The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparision test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:

any issue with server?
I have got a VPS with slhost but seems like I am hitting my memory limit when I check in VZPP.
Is there anyway I can find out which websites are causing high loads etc and get the limit back to normal?
is there a way to quickly check and see how much guaranteed ram my VPS has?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI just want to know that when I run the command free -m (/usr/bin/free -m) what exactly this output means:
Code:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3546 3395 151 0 261 2730
-/+ buffers/cache: 403 3143
I know that the values are in megabytes, but what scares me is the amount of megabytes left. Considering that I have 4gigs of space, does this mean that I only have 151 megs of RAM space left? Or is a large portion of that 4 gigs put aside for some reason (perhaps the cache).
If so, then why is this? Is the memory still practically free?
So my cPanel / WHM VPS (512MB RAM, 1024 burstable) is apparently using over 90% of its memory (according to the "service status" panel in WHM), and has been using 80% or more every time I've happened to log in over the past 2 weeks.
There ought to be literally nothing going on on the server right now (no email sent, received or relayed, nobody visiting the sites, no uploads, no downloads, no nothing). CPU load is very reasonable (0.11, 0.04, 0.0), and none of the processes appearing when I run "top" are using any memory worth mentioning.
What's the most likely explanation, and how concerned should I be about this (considering I'm anticipating a lot of traffic next week)? Would you recommend any specific further steps to investigate?
I have 512mb of memory on my new VPS.
I got it last night and i've been setting it up since. For some reason the memory usage is at 70 percent now.... how could this be? What happens when I open my site to the public and I get hammered with users? This was the whole point of getting a VPS!
When I run yum update I get:
memory alloc (XXXXX bytes) returned null
It's probably memory problem since my VPS config is really minimalistic... running updates one-by-one (yum update packagename) works ok, but it's pain in the a** to install 100+ updates like that, manually. It's apparently some kind memory leak in yum, does anybody know some way to prevent it? E.g. a script that would download list of needed updates, save it and then run it individually.
If you had to chose either Host Gator or Hawk Host which would you go with and why? Don't bring any other hosts into consideration just compare these two. This would be for a standard website, forum, and a few downloads if it makes a difference...nothing too fancy.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.
1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?
2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?
3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this
Quote:
When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site.
The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.
This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.
4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?
Self-Management (no cost)
Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.
