I am facing a strange issue with two RPG games sites that i am hosting on a 2GB ram server with softlayer, each of these sites was running on a 512MB VPS and they were doing fine but i decided to move them to better server so things run smoother when each has 50+ members online.
So the issue is when i have around 40 online members on each site, they start coughing up mysql errors, sometimes the sites just hang and stop loading, server load goes up to 3 or 4 but memory usage remains around 40%, I also notice that mysql uses the most of the CPU usage, around 75%
What i probably need is for someone to identify the cause of this, can it be an attack of some sort? or is it probably some code issues in the sites? do you recommend anyone that can have a look at this?
I'm having the oddest issue. For some reason, some of the websites on my server load fine, and some take a really long time to load (2 minutes).
Now, the server load is fine, and the size of the sites aren't the issue either. I've restarted Apache and a couple more services, and still the same sites seem to load very slow.
What could be causing this since it's only effecting certain websites?
I've searched a bit on this topic, but noone seems to have any resolutions: I have a myriad of different websites on a server, and want to balance resources. What and how are the best ways to do this?
So this is a new problem for me, and I have no idea what could be broken?
My server works, but none of the sites load.
Server ip is 69.162.121.170, one of the sites is bloghost.cl
Where should I start looking? When you try to visit the site it just tells you it cant establish a connection. All I did was restart the server today, and now nothing works
I have seen 1 vps provider having very poor ping results in few online ping sites and they have a very cluster slow loading pages as well.
One of my friend has a package with them, the ping results are very poor even for him as well. Just made an traceroute found its on some node1.vpsprovider.com
Ya, one more major important similarity noticed was, the vps provider emails weren't set properly to yahoo mail, and my friend's emails sent from the server to yahoo weren't delivered as well.
So if the vps provider has poor content may be due to firewall or internal settings do the systems under the node also be affected?
I have no problems with my host so nothing to be worried about, but need to help him as he is just starting it out with a cheaper vps
Anyone know of some good server load testers ( commercial )?
Im not looking for application based load testing, I need real web server load testing... need to see how much traffic this one site can take before it cries.
The last 2-3 days my websites on my vps all started acting funny. Randomly throughout the day they will all just stop loading. If you go to one of my sites they will just load and load and load and eventually time out after 5 minutes.
To fix this problem, all I have to do is reset Apache in my WHM. Everything will be fine for awhile until it decides to stop loading again.
I've been talking to tech support for 2 days. They're out of options. They tried banning some IPs as they thought I might be getting hacked. They tried moving me to a different host machine. They've checked all my logs... there are no errors or problems with the vps. The server load is always very low. Memory is always very low.
I run about 15-20 websites on this VPS. Two of them are vbulletin (v. 3.6.4 and v3.6.8) and all the rest are wordpress).
My VPS is hosted with ServInt.
Server Version: Apache/1.3.39 (Unix) PHP/5.2.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mysql (5.0.45-community-log)
I get these emails all day: httpd failed @ Wed Jan 9 06:10:42 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
I am completely out of ideas and options. Can anyone think of something? Think outside the box... make random suggestions. I don't care, I need to try something.
I most recently added 3 or so brand new websites to my vps about a week ago. However, they are just running wordpress so I can't imagine they're the problem.
Now-a-days server is having too much load due to http and in access logs we see following message : ======================================== 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Oct/2008:01:40:02 -0700] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Oct/2008:01:40:03 -0700] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - 127.0.0.1 - - [11/Oct/2008:01:40:02 -0700] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 -=============================================
And due to this there is load on server. We are not able to understand why this is happening and how to stop this. So please suggest with some solution.
A customer of mine for about 2 years just left for "Greener" pastures with a big time overselling host. Out of curiosity, I did a lookup search on his new IP using domaintools.
The result revealed that his website now resides on a server that has a little over 10,000 sites hosted on it.
My question goes thus:
What type of server efficiently holds such quantity of websites or could he be in for one hell of a ride?
Is there a way to tell how many, and the domain names, of all the sites assigned to one server or IP address on a shared hosting server? When I do a lookup on my server's IP address, it only points back to my hosting company. If I ping my domain, I get my IP address, so it seems reasonable that there's probably a way to find this out. I thought I had seen a post here about this, but searched for quite awhile, and couldn't find it.
I noticed my server's CPanel CPU Service Status went from about .4 (green) to 1.6 (red), and has pretty much stayed there the last few hours. It indicates it's a 1 CPU server. I was curious how many sites there were, and even what they were, to see if I could determine who or why the server usage is spiking.
I'm trying to learn more about hosting, and was curious about this aspect of shared hosting. I'm also looking for a way to throttle my own site to avoid causing a spike on my server. Does anyone know of a way I can ensure that my CPU usage does not exceed a predetermined amount so my hosting company won't pull the plug? Would throttling the bandwidth be possible, and perhaps a way to achieve that?
I decided to take the leap from a shared plan on godaddy to a good quality vps. I wanted to avoid the slowness and support I've experienced. Today for fun I found one of those tools that show you how many domains are sharing your ip. It says my website is on the same IP as 600 other sites! Is that all on a single server sharing resources?
I'm excited to see how my site runs on a 384mb vps. Probably even more than I need, but exciting none the less.
time for a fun thread started for no other reason than morbid curiosity.
For those who would like to brag, how many websites have you dared to cram onto a single server? I don't mean parked/aliased domains that point to a single webiste; I'm talking about separate, unique, individual websites.
I know there are a lot of shared-server hosting companies that offer to host an "unlimited" number of domains from your $5/mo. hosting account, and I'm sure there are a few crazies out there who actually allow (tens of?) thousands of websites on a single server, regardless of performance issues.
Our policy is no more than 500 unique websites per physical server. This is NOT because of resource usage problems (average CPU utilization is well below 10%) but because we want to limit the number of sites affected if a server crashes, or God forbid, gets hacked. Based on how low resource utilization is, even our P4 servers should be able to host thousands of sites without resource starvation. (P4 3.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 2x750 SATA disks in RAID1)
So how about it? It's your chance to brag. How many sites have you dared to stuff on 1 server, and what were the specs of the server?
I'm having trouble with a new server. It's a dedicated (Q6600 + 8 gig RAM + 4 x 250gig in Raid 10 + Centos 5.3 64bit + Cpanel).
The machine is way overpowered for the traffic going to the site.
The server load is rarely above .10 and often closer to zero.
I'm getting periodic extreme slow downs. Web pages will take 30-60 seconds to load (or longer). SSH will timeout, or if I can connect, it will take seconds (sometimes 10-15 seconds) for key press to register in the SSH terminal. Pop3 times out, etc.
This might last for 15 minutes or 3-4 hours. Then, everything will start running like a champ again. Traceroutes to the server during the slow downs haven't shown a problem between the server and where I am testing from (have connected from multiple proxies and remote sites to eliminate my local internet connection).
I'm looking for any advice on how to trouble shoot this. Hardware? Software? Configuration issue?
It is definitely not a capacity/load issue. There have been no spikes in web traffic. The opposite, this is a very slow time for my site, which is why I moved to a new server in May.
we're a webdesign company who also sell hosting (white labled). we have over 500 websites hosted with a company (based at telehouse in london - which is a good selling point for us when selling hosting packages). Theyve been really good (reliable servers, good support, good control panel etc...). Theyve also won awards for the reliability of their servers. Unfortunatley, over the past year we've noticed theyve raised their charges by quite a bit and the support has been very poor.
My question is: does anyone reccommend a company we can move all our sites to? this is obviously business critical (not only for us but for all our clients too!), and so we want to be absolutely certain of the company and what they can offer before we move over everything.
We've thought about a dedicated server with 1&1. It would be a fraction of the cost, but I always believe in 'you get what you pay for'. could this be the case here?
i just receive an email from FDC they have this offer for me AMD 2400 2GB RAM 80GB HDD 10TB/month bandwidth CentOS DirectAdmin Proxy allowed and i have a server now it,s opteron 246 dual core with 2G ram with DA panel and 1000 G bw the proxy network i have reach 20.000 UV per day can that server from FDC well do what i need it to do or .. .. .. and can i reach 10TB with them?
I got this domain hosted on my server where i can't ping or trace it. Every setting seem to be correct, the ip address, name server...etc. and other websites hosted on the server is working fine. i can reach other websites with no problem but not this domain.
how do i trouble shoot such problem? would deleted the website and recreate solve it?
One of my clients sites has just been hacked and im pretty sure its through the hosting and not the scripting, although the host us not being very helpfull.
What I want to do is see what other sites are on the shared account to see if any of them are having problems. As a coincidence the server has 'gone down' not long after being hacked which makes me think the host has pulled it.
I remember years ago (at least I hope I didnt dream it) that a website told me all the other sites on my server, probably by using some kind of reverse lookup on the IP, servers are not my strong point so I dont know.
Im considering Suhosin, in fact i am using it in other plain server were i have 1 or 2 sites. But this is a very high traffic with 300 + sites, lot of sites are using cms apps..
I am starting a small template based company. How many unique websites in their own unique folder can I host on a single server?
These websites would not get many hits, maybe a few hundread to a few thousand a month per site. My goal is to minimize the number of accounts I will have to open up with a web service provider.
Should I purchase 1 package per site or is there a way to get around this. Each unique site would have its own unique domain.
I have a local server who has only 1 IP. I would like to ask how to setup multiple site by using different ports. eg: site1:8080 ; site2:8081 ; site3:8083 , etc.
I have had my websites hosted with 1and1.fr for nearly 3 years now and have never had the slightest issue with them. I used to host a static average traffic website plus a punBB forum and some low traffic joomla based websites (nothing that needs much power as you can see).
A week ago, I bought a website (wordpress blog) and the guy included two proxies in the sale. I installed the two proxies and had a lot of trouble installing the wordpress blog so I moved it to another host where it now works all right. However, I am still getting 500 Internal Server Errors on my initial host (I thought it was caused by the wordpress blog) on all my websites hosted at 1and1 and it happens almost every other page!
I have many questions:
- are the proxies the cause?
- how can I know my websites have been moved to another server?
- do you think a VPS can solve the problem, or do I need a dedicated server?
- what is the best solution for hosting proxies?
I have sent a ticket to them yesterday and I am still waiting!
