Slugesh/Slow VPS 
			Jul 28, 2009
				My cPanel/WHM VPS is running slugesh/slow and loading time is affected, for cPanel/WHM and HTTP mainly PHP files.
VPS Spec: 
CPU: 1 GHz * 4 cores
RAM: 832MB - Spare Ram 300MB+
Space: 35GB - Left 27GB
Load: Various but normally below 1.00
Is it in the UK, I am in the UK ping and trace route looks fine

        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?

        At 15.00 PM (+1 hours here) my isp rebooted the hardware node. After the reboot there were some issues, they think it is possibly a DDoS Attack. They said the load on the host node was in the hunderds and my VPS was stopped because of the reboot and when I started it, HyperVM first told me it was not possible and after a few tries it started finally.
But the load was very high, and it still is. How can I check what the problem is that creates the high load?

        I did nothing but my whole server got slower.
 
Especially the sshd and mc.
 
I solve the sshd problem cos I edited the conf file with UseDNS no so it faster right now but I couldnt do anything with mc.
 
I have to wait about 15 seconds to load it.
 
Any suggestion?
 
or any ideal why my server become slower?
 
System: Debian 4.0
kernel: grsec 2.6.19-1
 
Till today morning its okey.
 
Oh, yes, I run tiger and got the following message in log:
 
09:50> Beginning security report for atdn.us (GNU/Linux Linux 2.6.19.1-grsec).
# Performing check of passwd files...

I modificated this to the correct one (I mean I try to solve this warnings) but when I noticed that my machine becmome slower, I recover everything.

        I have an ASP.Net + SQL Server 2008 Express website I was hosting with DiscountASP.net. Their service seems pretty solid, and I didn't have any issues hosting with them. Customer support was quick and knowledgeable.
However, I had noticed for quite some time that the website seemed pretty slow. Please note that the website isn't live yet, so it was only me and a colleague who were accessing it. I was accessing the website from Dubai, UAE and he from Doha, Qatar. Therefore traffic/load definitely wasn't the problem.
We tried an instance of the website on a VPS (the DB was still running on DASP), and it was blazing fast! The difference in speed was quite significant and sustained. What could the reason for this be? Is it because we can't expect good speeds from shared hosting? Or should I report this issue to DASP?
I would be paying around 5x of what I'm paying right now ($100 instead of $20) if I switched to a VPS, but if there are definite advantages, I would be willing to do so. I don't expect large volumes of traffic on the website for quite a while.

        I have a problem with my company's web hosting solution: occasionally we go through periods where we cannot seem to access our webpages very quickly. In different browsers (IE, Firefox) it takes literally minutes to load a single page. Most of the time the pages load very quickly from inside our office or outside.
Our self-hosting configuration is:
Windows XP Pro. w/ SP3
Apache 2.2.11 with PHP5.2.9-2
Norton Internet Security 
Our internet connection is 10Mbps down / 900 kbps up cable behind a DLink router with port 80 forwarded over to the web server. Each page of our site is relatively small in size.
The same computer server as a mail server for about 10 email addresses.
When we encounter this problem, restarting the Apache service never seems to help, but restarting the computer does seem to help. XP was put on the computer with the latest updates about 3 weeks ago, so I am not concerned about spyware, particularly since this computer is only used as a server.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting steps to determine what the problem is? We don't have hundreds of visitors at a time in traffic as far as I am aware.

        I own the website [url]and it's hosted at Host Excellence. Recently there have been some downtime periods, and most importantly, I have noticed that downloads are very slow. For instance, when I download a file such as [url]I get an approximative transfer rate of 100-150 KB/sec (whereas most other sites download at 500 KB/sec or more). First of all I'd like to know if you guys get similar results, and what do you recommend? I have contacted my host about it, they seem to deny the problem. Should I switch? What to? I need something reliable and fast.

        After my bad experiences with the other provider, I decided to go with GeekStorage.com for my hosting needs. I found plenty of positive reviews for them but so far, it doesn't look good :-/
The support was fast enough, but not really helpfull.
My basic problems, so far, are:
1. The VPS is _really_ slow. Simple operations like listing (ls) the contents of directories with 4-5 files takes around 1~1.5seconds. Editing /etc/vim/vimrc with vim takes around 3 seconds (to open, I mean). 
2. While trying to install phpmyadmin from the default ubuntu repository took me almost 10 minutes, from downloading to installing the packages. Something my old Dual P3 (yes, pentium 3) did in less than 2 minutes. Accessing the phpmyadmin page (with a web browser) took around 3 seconds, and no, I don't mean loading the database scheme and stuff, just the login screen. It just stood there for 3 seconds, then instant load. No, it wasn't a DNS problem. My browser was just hanging at "Waiting..."
3. Bandwidth is _really_ low. Tried downloading different files located all around the world and I never seen more than 300k/s, max. Sometimes it drops to a painfull 150k/s and just stays there.
4. Timeouts. First night they got my VPS up I had small downtime periods. I was trying to edit the DNS files and I had like 20 disconnects in 1 hour. The connection was working for 2 minutes, then *poof* dropped for another 2 minutes. 
5. The virtualization. I can't install simple software as pureftpd. All I get is "Jan  4 20:38:21 vps pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Unable to switch capabilities : Operation not permitted". Tried different workarounds (trying to avoid recompilation with --without-capabilities) but nothing worked.
As answers, all I got so far is:
- for the connection problem:
"Could you please provide the results of a traceroute when this problem is occurring? We will forward it to the DC and see if they can determine any network issues. Thank you, and apologies for the trouble."
Got the answer 1 hour after I asked them if there's something wrong, but it was too late... the problems were gone, for the moment.
- the slow response from the vps:
"2-3 seconds is understandable during peak hours, however we have not seen this issue come up on node3 since the server was rebooted recently. If the issues arise again 
please let us know, we will check on the cause."
I *almost* understand about the peak hours, but it's not normal. I remember this was an issue with *shared* hosting. This was one of the reasons I got a VPS in the first place. 
Basically they're telling me that during peak hours my customers will have to wait 3 seconds for my websites to load. You know what the average user does after waiting that many seconds for a page to load? Closes the browser or types another address.
I have the VPS512 plan (the $55 one + $3 safetyweb protection) + extra 50% bandwidth and disk space. My VPS is located on NODE3.
Anyone else experiencing the same issues (maybe on another node?) I'm still hoping for this issues to go away, maybe it's something temporary, but if this happens for the whole week, I'll definatelly ask for money back (they have a 60day return policy).

        Recently, my server has been running real slow and I don't know why... I've not noticed any increase in traffic (In fact it goes slow with no traffic on it...), what are some things I can look at to try and diagnose the problem? I know next to nothing about *nix so please speak in great detail.
Anytime I restart Apache, it loads quick for a few seconds then gets slow again...
Here are the top few processes listed on the process manager: .....

        I had configured webserver on one of my CentOS server. It worked fine for few months but after sometimes it started giving problem. I was not able to browse website. The I found that it was timing out so I increased timeout period from php and the website started working.
But still the website is taking 30-35 seconds to load. I checked the server but I couldn't find any solution. Please guide me to get this resolved.

        I noticed today that SSH is taking longer to log into, I have tried by password and key but they just as slow as each other.
Once I am logged in, it is fine.
I have tried restarted SSHD via WHM but it makes no difference. Trace route looks ok and all other services seem fine as well.
Server load is around 0.00 and around 500mb ram spare.

        I have got a dedicated server running Fedora Core 7.
My problem is that I am trying to run yum updates using the default repos and it failes to respond and check any mirrors?
I have tried to disable ipv6 and changed some tcp timeout settings along with the resolver.conf name servers and has appeared to fix the wget timeouts but yum is still slow.

        the FTP was goosed on a personal server before and I was on my way out with the bitch, so I decided to get PSM to sort it out for me.
Came back about 5 - 6 hours later and it hadnt been fixed. No problem though as I would just do it myself. Anyway just as I logged into SSH to get it done, they did it, cheers.
I wanted something enabling on the FTP at the request of a friend but wanted to watch some TV and as I can't seem to use the laptop and watch TV at the same time nowadays, decided to get PSM to do it (its only to enable resume on the FTP, so its a simple request).
Anyway to cut the story short, the ticket was submitted 6 hours 33 minutes ago and still no response. I wont do it myself now as I want to see how long it takes them to respond, it will be interesting as they have already failed to meet their 6 hour response guarantee.
Other then tonight I can't fault PSM, whenever I use them (which to be honest is maybe once every 5 months or so) they are great and usually very speedy, but tonight its just sooooo slow, its really unusual. Anyone else noticedc this slowness tonight?

        For those of you that complain about the slow loading speed of your sites due to being on over-loaded servers or over-sold bandwidth, why do you think that the discounted rate is worth the loss of customers that you might earn if your site loaded faster.
Have you ever given your sites a try on a quality host where your site loaded faster?  You might be surprised at how much more effective your marketing was when surfers stay around long enough to see your site load.
Some times in the effort to secure such a great deal and save a penny, you wind up loosing a dollar, it might not make a difference to all of you but some will be surprised at the ROI for a bit better hosting!

        I'm have a VDS with hosting-ie, and it is extremely slow.. I run almost nothing on it.. 
I'm not running a website, no MYSQL, no Databases.. just newsleecher, a bittorent client for seeding ubunto and occassionally i'll open ftp program to transfer files from home to server.
 
Lately, i can't even just have newsleecher open by itself and have it running, as it pauses waiting for threads to catch up. If I close everything, i sometimes have to still wait from 30-45 seconds just to open the My Computer Icon. To me thats not acceptable. 26 processes running, with none larger than 10K, memory commit will go up to 90M of 1024M.. let its too slow to run anything.
Their support tell me, that even though its dedicated resources, i'm on a box with 4 other hosts., so hence it being slow. Their suggestion is I upgrade to another box.. I find it hard to believe that i should have to upgrade so I can run a few non-memory intensive programs.
What can i do to prove to them that there is a problem? I'm locked into a 3 month commitment. What use is a VDS server that run 1 application? Is there specific counters i can enable that would get to the heart of the matter? 
 
It is Win2003 running on it. 60 G HD , 1.5 Ghz CPU, 1G Ram. I read some of the other threads, but they seem to be more for someone that has access outside of their VDS.. (unless i missed one)
 
edit: I suggested to them maybe someone is hammering the HD, but they say there is no hard disk, that its only allocated space..(?)

        I am currently being dugg, and the server load, mem usage etc is fine. However the site being dugg is running very slow, like 10 seconds to load the page. It's weird becuase the forums for the same site (on anotehr DB of course), are running perfectly fine. Its just the site itself!
Is there any way to improve performance for this specific DB? Or what else could be happening?

        I use Charter as my ISP. Normally my connection speeds are VERY fast to the majority of the web. However, my own website has become like molasses in January (it wasn't always this way, or I would have not chosen my host), as can the entire hosting service. For the sake of discussion, I use two networked PC's, one is Win2K and the other is XP. Both are using the latest free version of ZoneAlarm, NO virus checker. I have a Linksys router. Asking for tech support with Charter is equivalent to wanting to discuss the methods for rebooting your PC with someone who didn't grow up speaking English. I've tried, it's useless.
(Warning: my site is about nude art photography, so don't look if you don't want to see that. The site is pencilartist.com, and I am hosted with Lunar Pages.)
I've run tracert several times, and I always come up with a timeout on the first hop. 
I've asked a friend to view both my site and Lunar Pages from his Charter account (lives 5 miles from me) and he says both come up in nanoseconds. I've tried various online speed checkers, and they all give blazing results.
Here's the latest tracert:

        About 1 week ago logging in to my server with SSH and loading hosted sites when 'www.' was used in the domain became VERY slow.
When I connect to my server with SSH, it takes 3-4 minutes before I prompted for my password. This used to be fast.
The same when accessing domain on my server when 'www.' is used in the domain. It is approx. 1 min. wait before the domain starts to load. Domains load fast without 'www'.
Example:
[url]= FAST
[url]= SLOW
It is not just from my end, my customers are experiencing the same.
OS: CentOS 5.0-32
The server is powered by 2 * Intel Xeon 5160 (Dual Core) processors with 8 GB RAM. It has Seagate® Cheetah® 15K.4 enterprise hard drives.
Server load is normally on 0.30
Anyone encountered this server behavior before and have a fix for it?

        when I click a link in my site, sometimes nothing happens, until the connection times out. What could be causing this problem and what could I do to solve it? Increase the max number of Apache processes, threads per child, or what?
