Servint - Serving Porn On My Sites
What is up with servint?
I have domains and a vps through them.
The vps is now serving up porn on all the sites.
When I call servint they say I don't own the name but a whois shows i DO INDEED own the name for another year and it is registered to me and they are the registrar!!!
The portal user/pass suddenly stopped working so I can't even put in a support ticket
All I get is a message machine ... does anyone know if servint staff ever come on this board.
It has probably been hacked but it is pretty disturbing when they say I don't own the domain but it is CLEAR THAT I do own it.

Old Address Direct To Porn Sites
I had a site with admo.net. To my surprise the name registration was done in their name and not mine so domain name cannot be taken with you. When your hosting date expires the domain was directed the day it expired to a porn site without a renewal notice or warning. It was not until after I requested the name only renewal that a renewal email arrived. The date on the renewal was marked due over 10 days after it had already expired. In the mean time all the visitors looking for me were directed to porn links.

Dedicated Server With Porn OK
Its been sometime since I posted here. I'm in London and had been negotiating with my current host for sometime about getting a fully managed dedicated server which would also allow smut to be hosted on it as I want to get into hosting for swingers and escorts - Anyway - the best deal I could get there, which was about 3 yrs ago, and I think a damn good one was for an annual fee of £1000 - £1200 which included an 80 gig server plus all the other no frills you might expect - now that I have found a business partner and have the money I find that my host has migrated the service to Florida and to cut down bandwidth they are no allowing porn anymore! Can anyone out there offer me some options? I run serveral mainstream sites already. Ideally I would like the support to be within the UK if possible, or at least very good. I need a host who is porn friendly and would prefer to not have to worry too much about the 2257 **** that the USA have if possible - although I can provide that, its just I hate Big Brother!

Webhost For Media Oriented (not Porn) Web Site?
I have a media orient web site with a lot of videos (.WMV files), most of them are from PC based racing games, a few other games, plus videos of radio control models, racing cars, etc. Currently, there is about 9GB of media on my web site and traffic is about 20GB to 200GB / month (activity increase when I add videos from a newly released game). Note this is a hobby web site (not a business site, no ads, or ad related links). My current web host provider, ipower, recently switched to a much small number of servers with many more users per server, and now they throttle download rate to about 350 kilo-bytes / second. Before the change, download rates ran over 2 mega bytes / second. If curious as to the content, my web site is here: ...

Good Web Hosts That Allow Adult / Porn / Pornography?
My next website will be a sort of adult orientated social networking type site that will allow users to upload adult pics ect. Most of the good recommended hosts such as : medialayer, Rochen, Known Host and so on don't seem to allow pornography of any kind. Are there any as good as those that do allow this kind of thing?

Has anyone else had this happen with Enom? My clients domain expired a couple days ago and his page now has links with the following keywords: C*nt Hairy P*ssy Fat *ss Big T*t Round *ss Monster D*ck Big *ss T*t I called Enom, and they're only response was, "Well why did you let that domain expire?" I then asked for a supervisor and was told that one was not available. Looks like its time to find a new domain reseller.

IIS Just Stopped Serving..
I have been hosting a site for the past number of weeks on IIS on Server 2003..I have a no-ip a/c which is working fine along with port forwarding on my router.. The other day I restarted my server for something but now I cant seem to access my site from across the internet and according down for everyone or just me (website) it is down. I can, however, access the site using domain name from within my lan. I'm not too hot on server 2003 or IIS. What can I do to debug/diagnose the problem?

Speed Up Serving Large Files
I'm working on a web site which will basically be a flash games portal. I have a dedicated server running Apache 2 on a 100mbit dedicated line but my download speed for large files (flash files of over 5mbs) is really slow. I am thinking this is because of Apache but I don't know much about this. I've read that I should change for a lighter http server for serving static files. The way my server is set up is I have 2 virtual machines running, one doing the PHP processing and the other serving static files, both running Apache, so if I have to change HTTP server for the static files it would be very easy. Although I am not sure if this is necessary or if I can tune Apache to push files faster than this.

Serving Data From 2 Hard Disks
I have a server with 2 hard drives, say drive A and drive B. Right now all my files, database and data is on drive A, and drive B is empty. Since I have another drive available, I want to split the load between the two drives. I'm ok with having the web pages and the database on one drive. I mostly want to just have the data (I have about 500GB of data) split between the two drives. Note that I want to avoid duplicating the data. I want to have each file on either drive A XOR drive B. Should I map a separate subdomain to drive B and then use that subdomain to serve the half of the data thats there? Is there something I can do with hard/soft links on the server so that even though the data is on 2 drives, users still use the same url to access data on either drive? Any other options?

Static File Serving - Performance
I'm planning to setup a server ONLY for hosting of static binary files varying from few KB to few MB in size. I've seen some of the litespeedtech performance benchmarks, which you can find here: [url] From the "small static file" benchmark chart, i can see that IIS6 beats lighttpd in this test. So i'm wondering does the IIS6 really have better performance at file hosting than lighttpd. Actually it does not matter which operating system i will be using at this server, since i will use it only for file serving. With lots of concurrent connections. Possibly thousands of connections. I need some feedbacks on this, so i can decide, IIS or lighttpd. Few more bucks for win2k3 won't be an issue here, if it's performance is better than lighttpd for this kind of use.

10 Second Lag Serving Static HTML
this isn't my server, so I don't have a lot of information about it, other than it's a Linux/Apache Dedicated server at EV1. (cPanel/WHM) There are other sites on the server, and they are running fine. One site has a terrible lag. It takes about 10 seconds to serve up a static HTML file.. Now, it's not like the server is slow. It's like this: You request a small HTML file. The site sits and thinks about it for about 10 seconds, and then after that everything processes quickly. The forum on the site is the same way. Everything you click on works fine and loads quickly after that initial delay passes. Is there a common configuration problem that might be causing this? If you want to see this phenomenon, here are a few test files: [url] [url] [url] [url]

Apache Serving Blank Pages
I am having this issue with a new box where Apache at random serves blank pages and won't serve anything but until it's restarted. I see no errors in /var/log/messages either to show why this is happening. It's not all pages either just several various ones. I know it's not a programming issue either because the only thing the server is running is one instance of vBulletin. I look at top during this and CPU and RAM usage are very low. The only fix to get Apache to serve the pages is to restart it. Anyone have any clues on what it could be? I set my php.ini memory limit to a gig (I have 16 gigs in the sever)

Serving & Playing Breeze FIles
Having trouble hosting Macromedia Breeze files on a brand new dedicated 2003 NT box. Anything I need to adjust? When someone visits the URL, it loads the presentation main screen, but it's supposed to auto-play several movies and it won't. It works fine locally and on 2 unix servers I tested it on, but not the new NT box. The weird thing is, if I remote desktop to that server, I can't play that presentation locally or server thru the linux boxes. I figured it was an extensions thing, but like I said the intro still does appear, and if I go to Adobe.com and play a new "Adobe Presenter" presentation - it works fine.

Preferred Operating System For Web Serving
I have been online since 95 and I've got a lot of information I could help others with regarding web development and interface design. One thing I'm terrible at is System Administration, but I'm getting better and my first step is to pick a reliable operating system for both the webservers and the database servers. Would anyone be willing to answer the following questions or point me to a thread that already discusses these? A little background, our site has 200k members, 30k active and is growing by about 5k a week. We still run MySQL 4.0.27 on the DB servers and they are running FC2. The webservers are Apache 1.3.37 and PHP 4.4.2 running FC2 and FC4 as well. My questions 1. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the web servers? and a "few" reasons why? 2. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the database servers? and a "few" reasons why?

Problem Serving Gzipped Static Content
I'm trying to serve as much gzipped content as possible on my web site. I will gzip dynamic pages on the fly using PHP, and I plan to gzip static content just one time, not to use much CPU, and serve css.gz, .js.gz files, etc... So, I uploaded a test.html file and a .css file that changes the color of the text to red. I gzipped the css file: %gzip style.css I also uploaded an .htaccess file with this content: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /gzip/ RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING} gzip RewriteRule ^(([^.]+.)+)css$ /$1css.gz For now I'm not going to include any gunzipped style sheet, just to make sure my browser picks the gzipped style sheet. I also uploaded a phpinfo.php file to make sure I have mod_gzip. So, here's the list of files I have: - .htaccess - style.css.gz - test.html - phpinfo.php But when I open the test.html file: [url] the style sheet isn't applied. If I upload a regular style.css file, it works fine. It seems the Rewrite rules aren't taken into account. Do you know how I could server the gzipped style sheet instead?

What Type Of Server And Os, Etc For Just File Serving- Small Files Like Under 10kb
I have a website that just serves small files, under 10kb most of them. I just need a server that lets me ftp the file to it, set up subdomains and domains for one website. Don't need to manage mysql or anything. Not even php. Just serve files. A good fast OS? Something like lighttpd? Ioono? I'm currently doing 600gb of bandwidth per month. I'm expecting to do about 1000gb by the end of the year. Would a small server like a pentium 4 be able to handle just serving files?

An Otherwise Great Performing Server Now Delays Prior To Serving PHP/mysql
One of my dedicateds (Fedora 7 / apache 1.39 / php5 mysql5) has been running flawlessly but now has a strange ~4-5 second delay when serving up PHP/mysql pages such as Wordpress. I say delay because it appears to think about it for several seconds, then when the page finally begins the refresh process, everything serves up lightning fast. Latency is low, direct file downloads are faster than ever. ModSecurity is running, and accounts for about 1 second of that delay (tested with it on and off), but the other 3-4 seconds is a mystery.

WiredTree --> Servint
I'm no longer happy at WT and have (almost) decided to move to Servint. Does anyone know if Servint's sales is open 24/7? I sent them an email an hour ago, without a response or acknowledgement. From what I've read here, Servint seems like a solid choice - but I'd be eager to hear from any current clients about the support/uptime etc and also if their forums are busy or not?

My Servint Review
I have been with them around 3 years in the past and was very happy. But after i was enthusiast with Europe (ping time etc) and i made the mistake and moved in Europe. Since then i had many problems so i get back to them few days ago. When i moved all my domains to them i had many issues with my scripts , mails etc because i manualy tranfered everything with unix commands. Servint guys helped with everything to get working. I didnt lost any data and i am very happy with them. They have awesome support team and very strong knowledge of their job. They even helped me in a joomla script issue which they are not responsible Again, they are great and you cant go wrong with them.

ServInt Network
both of the VPSs we have with them have been offline for more than 15 minutes now. As usual, their support has been incredibly fast and I have heard back from a NOC staffer that they are experiencing network issues, but want to see if I can find out how widespread this is. If you have services with ServInt, are your machines currently unreachable?

Servint Woes
I've been using Servint VPS hosting for the past few years and have been very happy with them. But unfortunately I have been experiencing problems for the last couple of months. My forums are regularly going down for a few minutes at a time and I have been submitting tickets to Servint. Servint replied suggesting that my sites aren't going down. Yet I tried the sites on different PC's at different locations and they have been down. I started a thread on one forum and got confirmation from quite a few members that they experienced downtime. Servint have now accepted that there has been downtime. I asked Servint for suggested solutions and they didn't provide any I specifically asked if I needed to upgrade the VPS package, they originally said an upgrade wasn't necessary but 4 days later said that I did need an upgrade. I've upgraded twice in the last few weeks and as of today I am on a Super VPS @ $199 / mth - Servint have confirmed that they have upgraded me to this package But my sites have been down for about the last hour or two In my ticket today, Servint have said "the longest your sites were down was 5 minutes". This is simply not true, and even if it was true, regular 5 minute downtime is not acceptable in my view. I feel that no one at Servint is taking my issues seriously. They had repeatedly told me that there was no problem but now they admit that there is one and they don't seem willing or able to fix it - this has been going on for a couple of months. I ask "what am I doing wrong", because I see such great reviews of Servint here on WHT and I don't understand why I'm not getting the same level of service. I have very limited technical knowledge - should I be using another type of hosting that provides more in-depth tech support? Is it possible that the problems I am experiencing are outside of Servint's control and that I am expecting too much from them? I want to stay hosted with Servint, but I'm having great difficulties at present. Given the great reviews I see of Servint, I'm actually concerned that they will tell me that my business is not worth the trouble and that I should host my sites elsewhere. What should I do?

Props For ServInt
I just wanted to take the time and give a quick review of ServInt. I have switched to their service about 5 months ago now and I just have to say: it's absolutely fantastic! I'm only on the lowest VPS package, $50/month, but the service has really just been spectacular. First off the value is incredible as service quality is top notch and server specs are as well. In addition, these accounts are fully managed which has really saved me from a lot of headaches. Even further, ServInt will help you out with stuff that you normally wouldn't even consider covered under support (and it's not, they help based on their own great quality of service not something written in policy). They are very prompt and helpful, unlike a lot of other providers who always try to blame all of the problems on me (you) instead of truly investigating them. Right now I am running about 30 small sites on the VPS and performance is unequivocal. In total my VPS uses roughly 350GB of bandwidth per month (out of the allocated 500GB). I will say right now I don't work for ServInt or anything like that, really I just wanted to help get the word out. I have been with a lot of VPS providers before including MediaTemple, GoDaddy, and SolarVPS and none have impressed me as much as ServInt (though GoDaddy was really good until I ran into some problems that their support wouldn't cover, then they turned mean and very unhelpful).

5 Years Review - Servint
Not really full five years. I signed up for essential VPS plan in March 2004 (so for few months it will be full five years). My VPS is fully managed and support is great. It is real 24/7 and response time is always about 5-15 minutes, and almost always with problem solved (there is no annoying replies like; need more information's, please let us what you want or something like that) They always fix the problems and they always know how to fix things. It was some big failure with hardware (I can not remember date) but they deal carefully with that, move all of us to different machines, clients was well informed, and generally there was not any long downtime (as far as I can remember) Network are great. They have direct link with Deutsche telecom which means very good connection for Europe. Few times I request backup for accidentally deleted files, and they recovery them fast. Only critic for billing. One month (I can remember when) they charge me for extra bandwidth. It was caused by some attackers on server I do not know, as none of my domains cause that (It was some bandwidth leak other than http, ftp or mail, that I am not familiar with). Normally I can not spend even 10-15 % of total bandwidth , but that particular month it was 300%, so they charge me for all. I do not know if it is my fault or not, but maybe they should protect server better or whatever. Other than that I have never had any problems. I recommend them to anyone as they are really ''peace in mind'' company. For the time being I will keep to use Servint services. I hope I will not forget to come back here again after five years with 10-years review.

My 9 Months ServInt Review
My 9 months ServInt review I'm with Servint since february and it's time for a quick review. The VPS was setup within a few hours after I ordered.After seeing how many people around here complained about how they still waiting after several days for their vps, I conclude that my vps was setup was VERY FAST. While I'm no certified admin, I'm a quick learner and i'm used to solve problems on my own. Thus I didn't open to many tickets with support, but the few I opened were answered quite fast. So you get fast response from support. The thing that impressed me most, though, was the performance of the vps. It runs fast and without problems. I recall only one time the connection seemed very slow but I think it was a problem with their network because their forums were very slow too. However in a few hours all was back to normal. Basically, you forget you have the vps. It just works without problems and with great performance. I have the Esential package (384 Ram) and at 49$ I consider it a very good deal. For some people this is expensive but I recommend them to read carefully the horror stories of those who wanted cheap. Quality service and peace of mind is worth more than the 10-20$ you pay less with a cheap host.

ServInt Vs. Wiredtree Shootout
Bottom line, neither one of these companies can work with a reasonably intelligent (although admittedly totally ignorant of *nix and "manaaged" VPS's) yet _desperate_ web developer migrate from a shared hosting package with , get this, 1&1 to a "managed" VPS and get email functioning on port 587. I have given both companies _total_ access to my 1&1 account and yet: ServInt can't get me up and running with a cPanel GUI. To their credit, they were able to with Plesk. Wiredtree hasn't been able to even let me successfully ping a pop or smtp server since the account was activated last night and I've been working with them since 9:30 last night. I called and talked to XXXXXXXX (I obviously won't use his name) last night and had him check out how I set up my system. He made an adjustment on the firewall for, yes, port 587 and assured me I'd be good to go once the domain changes propagated. Obviously that hasn't been the case or you wouldn't be reading this. So bottom line, since both companies have _total_ access to my accounts, and I trust them both otherwise I wouldn't be doing business with them, whichever company delivers me a functioning "managed" VPS with a working email account, _regardless_ of GUI as I've told ServInt to revert my "managed" VPS back to Plesk, I'll sign up with them and probably _never_ leave because I'd rather go through a ******* root canal than have to go through this process again. I've haven't got time to exchange Problem Ticket posts to get a fucntioning VPS, hell I've got a business to run and thought the word "managed" actually meant managed.

One Week Review Of ServInt
Thought I might provide an alternative for the various multi-year reviews of the company and give a short term review. See my initial message here: [url] for the hows and whys I chose ServInt. I am a total newb when it comes to VPS's, having been on shared hosting for many years. I had never heard of CNAME/MX records and was/am totally ignorant of *nix administration. I ordered the Essential VPS and dove right in. Figured since I had root access, I could just establish my company's web site directory off the root via FTP and upload the web sites to the appropriate directory. BZT. Wrong. Can only use the httpdocs directory. That was my first ticket, responded to and solved in 5 minutes. Next was changing name servers at 1&1, which was a giant PITA because of 1&1. Learned all about a Glue Domain, to make a very long story shorter, I had to establish subdomains at 1&1 and fix the IP address to point to the name servers I was going to establish on my ServInt VPS. What a convoluted process. Ticket opened and responded to in 20 minutes. As an addition to this ticket, after establishing MX records, I could not connect up to the SMTP server, though I could connect to the POP server. This turned out to be a setting in Plesk, I think to enable the use of Port 587, which my ISP requries for anti-spam. Problem solved in 20 minutes. So, I went from scratch to having my company web site up and running with full email access in less than two hours. Pretty good migration as far as I'm concerned. Haven't had a problems other than these so far, just climbing the learning curve learning some *nix admin duties. WHT has been a _tremendous_ resource in this regard. Oh, and the speed and responsiveness of the site compared to 1&1's shared hosting was/is nothing short of phenomenal. No more lags, no more variable page loads, just consistantly fast data transmission, which was my number one priority. In short, I could not be happier with my choice and look forward to a long business relationship with ServInt. Thanks to all who actively participate here at WHT, your posts help more lurkers than you can ever imagine.

Servint Intial Review
I signed up with Servint a few days ago and their staff has been very helpful in helping me get setup. I got the essential VPS. So far the staff has done the following for me 1. Updated subversion "version" 2. Explained to me how to transfer accounts 3. Assisted in setting up transfered accounts 4. Setting up nameservers 5. Told me how to have commands executed on startup Their helpdesk is very organized and everyone responds fast. They are all so smart and know exactly what they are doing. I have never had such a great experience with a hosting company. The server speed is also very fast. I currently have 9 accounts setup in my vps plan. [url]is one of them. I just switched over the DNS, so you might not be hitting the servint server yet. I highly recommend servint.

Poor ServInt Support
I finally ditched Site5 at a host. So _anything_ should be better, right? After only a week or so with ServInt I'm wondering if I made the wrong decision. Now I thought a few hours resolution time with Site5 was frusterating, try waiting 6 hours, or 18 (my current ticket, still not resolved, with no reply after asking for an update several hours ago). And having a tech answer the phone doesn't help much either if they don't have a clue how to troubleshoot. First the tech insists that MX records need to be pointed to my host for OUTGOING smtp to work! Then after sending him the necessary log files twice, he still insists I'm not giving him enough information to fix the problem and that MX records must be setup. When I call and ask if he read the log file snippets I had sent him, "no" was the answer! AAAAAARGH! And then being told many times, that the problems been fixed. And then finding out it's not and that they never even TESTED IT before saying so! Is it time to pack up and leave before I migrate all my customers there?

VPS : Steadfast / Liquidweb / ServInt ? - Best One ?
I am new to these server related things. I don't want to go for shared hosting, as there will be too many restrictions. And I will not need a dedicated server until my traffic really grows multi-fold (may take few months). I am aiming to run 3 of my new sites on a VPS server. (I want to know whether I can put all my 3 sites on the same VPS server.) After my initial research, I came up with below list :- STEADFAST : steadfast.net/services/vps.php LIQUIDWEB : liquidweb.com/cart/content/vps/ SERVINT : servint.net/vps/details.php Now I like to know which one is better. (You can suggest any other providers also if they can beat these in terms of Customer Service and Reliability and my below requirements.) Outline of my requirements :- 1) Fully Managed Service and outstanding customer service. 2) Daily Backup of all content and database. 3) Fast response times (For my website users mostly in INDIA) and best network. 4) Easy and smooth transition to upgrade to next VPS package or a dedicated server (I don't want to keep changing DNS everytime I want to upgrade.) 5) No restriction on bulk email being sent (Fully Double Opt-In mailing list) 6) cPanel needed 7) Other routine things like Uptime, Reliability, Hardware Replacement Warranty... 8) Price is not really a big issue.

ServInt 4 (yes FOUR) Year Review - Thumbs Way Up
I just realized it has been 4 years since I joined ServInt back in June of 2004. After coming to this realization I decided it was time to come back to this forum, where I first read glowing reviews of ServInt and post my 4 year review. I guess a tribute to how well ServInt has worked for me over the years is the fact that I didn't have my login for this site anymore... easy to loose a login after 3 years of not needing to worry about, or look for a webhost. (A big thanks to Louis of the WHT community Leader fame for sorting out the problem). The last post I think I made was when I did my very long 1 year review here: [url] Over the past 3 years my server needs have really grown. I now own and manage a portfolio of sites that generate 20 times more impressions (about 6.5 million per month) than I had when I first started with ServInt. In that time I've upgraded my hosting account multiple times to newer and better hardware. The upgrade process was super easy and seamless each time, one of the huge benefits of a VPS environment. Support has remained consistently wonderful as has server response and uptime. Even with my limited server management knowledge, between their amazing staff and the incredible ServInt community forum I've been able to really grow my business without the stress that I would have dealt with had I chosen other options 4 years ago. This review is considerably shorter than my one year review, but again, this is just a tribute to how well things have gone. I love being able to sleep peacefully at night knowing that things are covered. Congratulations to Reed and staff for creating such an amazing company and business culture, and thanks to the great ServInt community for working together to answer questions and resolve problems. I think I've mentioned this before, but I've been amazed by Reed's demeanor as he deals with his staff and customers, and this permeates through all the dealings between ServInt employees and customers and between the community on the forums.

Servint / Liquidweb / Wiredtree / Futurehosting / Knownhost?
After reading many topic about VPS providers I finally found some providers who fits my needs. 1.Servint 2.Liquidweb 3.Wiredtree 4.Futurehosting 5.Knownhost It seems that those 5 have the best reviews and the best packages/price for my needs. I think that Servint will be the best choise even if they are all good providers. 99% I will go for Servint,but I'd like to know how your experience is with Servint as a customer. Just checked their speed and this seems to be perfect,to The Netherlands. Most of my visitors will come from the US,but speed to The Netherlands must also be perfect to work with cpanel etc. in the past I tried a VPS from FH and their speed to The Netherlands wasn't so good as the speed of Servint. What I also like about Servint is that they have their own datacenter in Washington DC.

ResellerZoom & Servint Reviews - My Thoughts
I had them for about 6 months and it was great until some time in the middle of May I got an email from them saying "my website is overloading/overlimits and even small dedicated sever wont handle the load" I had "Failover Reseller Plans" which allows 10,000MB space & 200GB bandwidth. The only script my website had at the time was a phpBB forum. My forum got about 2-3 posts per day with an average of 300 users per day. How could it cause overloading/overlimits ? Their "abuse team" wasn't very helpful at all! I got fed up with it and moved my site to a new webhost => servint However, their support team was amazing. They replied to my tickets very fast. They were always online even at 3 or 4 am !! And most of the time they were very helpful and wouldhelp you with anything. Would I go back to them again? i'm not sure ...maybe or maybe not Servint So I moved everything to Servint VPS after this whole incident. I really have no word to say about Servint except that they're AWESOME! I really like them & their support team. I had them for about 4 months and no complaints about them. However due to my financial prob (spend all my $ on gas & rising cost of everything) I had to downgrade to a reseller account instead Now I'm moving to Hostgator. I'll give you all my reviews in a few months...

ServInt.net VPS Tech Support. . . Laughable?
For people looking for a vps, I thought it's important to get a feel for their technical support team. So for the first time, I've had to use it. . . My problem is that MySQL CPU utilization is around 25% at all times and it is lagging the box like crazy. All of my sites hosted only get around 200k uniques per month. <<snipped>> The lag seemed to start around the same time I added multiple cronjobs at various times and frequencies to grab RSS feed data and check to see if it should add a new entry into the DB. I am not a linux guru, so I opened a ticket and asked for help and suggestions on what to do. . . Response: Quote: I could try tweaking the mysql configuration so the service uses less resources, but this usually just helps with the memory use. I was looking for him to either say yes the cronjobs are doing it or I have poorly coded queries. . something useful and related to CPU usage. But no. So then I say sure, tweak. I ask if he agrees that the cronjobs are the problem and what options I have to remedy the situation. Response: I have tweaked the mysql configuration for you. Yes, most likely those cronjobs are causing the big CPU usage in mysql. Basically he completely ignored my question on what other options I have or recommendations on what to do next. Needless to say I am furious. I ask for advice and get absolutely nothing useful in return. Not to mention his short answers make it seem like I'm lucky he even reads my entire question. So what does everyone else suggest?

Some Sites Load Slow, Some Sites Load Fine, Server Load Is Fine
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?

How Many Sites Are Too Many
I have a pretty beefy VPS (1 Gb RAM, equal share Intel xeon Quad core processor), but I have no idea how many other VPS's are sharing that processor. Is there any way to know that? I'm guessing the hosting company (Future Host - very happy with them btw) isn't going to tell me. Right now my stats are pretty low, but how many individual cPanel accounts (1 site each) before it starts to bog down? I know it depends largely on the traffic, but is 20-30 low-volume sites a lot for a VPS with 1Gb ram?

Multiple Sites
i currently have 2 webhosting providers but want to consolidate to one acct at one host with a bit better load times... 1. JaguarPc - i have two accts with them a. i have a shared acct with them currently - i believe its called the gigadeal (something like $10 a month). i have been with them since 2000, pretty decent host not too much downtime. support is "ok" when needed. currently i have 3 smallish websites hosted on this one acct, they dont get a lot of traffic. two of them are using wordpress one is just a static html site. i did a look up and found the server has about 130 sites hosetd on it. so not too bad in regards to overselling. however my big problem is the site takes about 900-1500ms to generate a page. this seems to be pretty often. again the sites dont really draw that much traffic. so thats not the problem here. b. i also have one of their freedom vps accts with upgraded ram and bandwidth. i only have one site hosted on it. this site used to get about 500K+ unique visitors a month. at its peak we were serving around 1tb bandwidth a month... i know we ran the vps hard but considering we wanted to stay under $50 it worked well. there was of course some downtime due to the massive traffic - [we serve up a popular flash cartoon website]. 2. Hostgator - babygator plan this host only serves up one wordpress site - the site isnt very well known yet, but the site is growing each month. the funny thing is that when i looked up this server there was about 830 websites hosted on it - obviously oversold and crowded. support really sucks here imho. however, the page load time is anywhere between 250ms to 500ms a lot faster than JaguarPcs. which is crazy since jag has much less sites on the server... im looking to basically consolidate the websites that are on both shared plans. my original thought was to keep them all on my shared hosting acct at jaguarpc (the one with the 3 sites). obviously i cannot add them to the vps since its pretty active. also the vps is business and the other sites are all personal. and i dont want them to mix so to speak. i am currently spending about $20 a month between the two shared host plans. im looking for some recommendations as to where to move -- where speed isnt such a big problem, and i can maintain one acct. it would be great if i could host these sites all for around $20 - hopefully without much lag. was thinking mediatemple - but after reading so many negative posts here about them - im not sure...

How Many Sites Do You Host
I did a search on the forum bu it exploded so I thought I would post the question - sorry if it's been asked. I would like to know how many sites are commonly hosted on a dedicated server.. Say - 4 gigs of RAM, and a Q9300 (for example). I know that some companies put 600 - 800 sites on the server and then customers talk about load and etc etc.. So, I just wanted to get a feel for how many sites/server..
