Normal Server Load
Jun 23, 2007What is the maximum load on a shared hosting server for it to be considered normal?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat Is Considered Normal Server Load
Apr 5, 2009a certain host I've been with for over 6 months now experiences what I would consider always very high server load. The server load is normally around 4-6ish, rarely below that. A few times a day it spikes to around 12ish, sometimes even more. The server has 4 cpus. Is this just some really big time overselling? They had downtime once for 2 days when a server crashed, and after that the server load has been really high, when before that it was normally around 1-2, and in the 0.50s

Jan 15, 2007I have a webserver that our main two company websites reside on and this box also hosts ~50 other misc. websites. None of the websites on the server are very CPU intensive and bandwidth usage on the box is next to none.
Every morning around 4-6am the server takes forever to load anything. Seeing as this is when I do most of my work, I quickly become frustrated when trying to load our admin area, webmail, etc. Note that things do load, just very slowly...
I've contacted my tech a couple of times but he says this is normal as it's backups and stats running. I guess my question is, IS this normal? If so, is there a way to lessen the load at all?

As for mine is:
Server Load 0.35 (2 cpus)

Normal Load Average
Dec 19, 2008I have a server with Core2Duo E6600 CPU, 4 gigs of RAM and 2x250 GB HDD's. What is the "normal" load average I can expect having ~50 websites running on it with medium visits. My current load averages (and most of the time ones) are:
load average: 0.24, 0.13, 0.16
Is this "normal"?

Sep 28, 2009I just did a reverse IP lookup for my newly purchased dedicated server and found out that the domain hosts two other domains, not owned by me.

Host Will Only Update Domain Name Server (DNS) In Batches, Takes Several Hours For A DNS Change, Normal?
Feb 10, 2009Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal?
Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know.
I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours.
I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly?
He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting.
Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone?
And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?
Some Sites Load Slow, Some Sites Load Fine, Server Load Is Fine
Aug 12, 2008I'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?

SSL On Normal Site ?
Jan 2, 2008I had a client ask me earlier if there was any downsides to having his main site be SSL only ,not his billing his actual site.
For exmaple it would be https://www.yoursite.com rather than the normal http and having that redirect to the https.
Obviously he would need all his images being linked to https in order for it to be secure but apart from that, I couldn't think of any of the top of my head, I was wondering what you guys all thought.

Does that look normal to you? Because I read somewhere that you should allow no more then 30 connections per IP. But most are taking much more then that.
VPS Resources - Normal Or Not
Jun 7, 2007We've just started to use a VPS, and so far no problems I've been looking at the resources and they seem a little high considering it's pretty much out of the box, and I've only setup 4 sites which aren't even public yet. The only thing I've changed is the php.ini to increase the memory limit to 32mb. My main concern is that these sites don't suffer when they go live.
In the Plesk control panel the memory says:
3.8 GB of 3.8 GB used; 47.1 MB available
The 47.1mb is pretty much average, although I've seen it go as low as 115mb.
In Virtuozzo the system usage (resource: capacity) is usually around 60-75%
Both of these seem a little high, but I'm not sure if these readings are for the whole physical server, or just my portion of it.
Also in the (Virtuozzo) QoS alerts I've had quite a few Yellow zone, black zone and one red zone reports, at around 5am - quite possibly the quietest time on a server which isn't hosting any live sites yet. These have both been on the numproc and the privvmpages services (the red zone was one the privvmpages). Is there anything I should be looking at or is this fairly normal operation for a VPS? I have nightly backups scheduled for around 1am. These were originally set for 4am, but reports were showing that they were running out of memory, so I’ve now staggered the times of these to see if that helps. I've haven't changed anything resource-wise other than the php, so I thought it would be good to go from the start, but maybe it needs some fine tuning.
Reboots It Like A Normal Cpu
Feb 8, 2007i type in reboot in my root. does it break it or just reboots it like a normal cpu?
View 4 Replies View RelatedASP.NET Restriction On 1and1, Is This Normal?
Apr 5, 2009I am running asp.net on my 1and1 "shared" hosting account. I just was told I could not add a simple .mp3 player control because it requires "higher" security. I only have "medium" security. They could only suggest a dedicated server.
Is this going to be normal amongst all asp.net hosting companies? Are most asp controls at the higher security level?
Is there a hosting company that gives this to you as a shared customer?
Is This Normal, Or Caused By Overselling
Jan 30, 2009I recently got a VPS from VPSLand before reading all the negative reviews... Everything seems to work fine EXCEPT disk operations. Sometimes it seems writing big files to disk, or moving/copying files around on the server will completely lock it up.
I opened up PerfMon and with my IIS/mySQL services stopped (which means my system is running absolutely nothing), the disk queue and disk % values are ridiculous.

Trafic -in- On Eth0, Normal Or Not ?
Jul 1, 2009I'm not sure if the trafic showed by munin graphics is normal or not because it seems it jumps to 2mbps in the morning and after few hours drops down to .5mbps
I don't host any storage websites, which should have lots of uploads, just normal websites, maybe a total of 10000 unique visitors/day on all accounts (I estimate this as I don't know how to find out exactly the number of visitors on all websites hosted on this server - 182 accounts)
My question is how can I see what exactly is making that trafic, maybe using a netstat command to see what processes are using the bandwidth.
Terrible VPS Uptime! Is This Normal
May 25, 2008I currently have a VPS host that, for the past 45 days or so, has delivered an average of 66% uptime. The best results are 75% and the worst are 50%. I'm still waiting for an official response from the company so I'm not including any names. But I do have sites at Dreamhost and Hostgator and they're reporting 99% and 100% respectively.
Is it normal for VPS hosts to have lower uptime? Or is this just the result of a bad server or cluster?
Note: I have about 10 sites on the VPS host and all report the same results. Dreamhost has about 3 sites and Hostgator has 1.
RAM Usage Higher Than Normal
May 25, 2008Normally on our slowest day of the week, RAM usage is around 20%-25%. We see RAM usage increase as more users hit the site, thus, RAM usage historically, has been tied to public bandwidth. Recently, RAM usage has been hitting 32%-35% on our slowest day of the week (as indicated by bandwidth usage). I am guessing that something is keeping apache threads opened and/or a cron-driven process which invokes httpd isn't finishing for whatever reason. This is only my guess after some research and looking at whm reporting and top. With my limited server knowledge, these are only my guesses.
1. What could be causing this increase RAM usage?
2. How do we find out what is causing it?
3. We did recently installed the OpenX ad server but there are no ads being served, we just implemented the CRON job for testing purposes. Maybe this could be the cause but how do we tell?
Is This Bandwidth Usage Normal
Jul 27, 2007Sitemeter is telling me the site gets an average of 38000 page views a day.
The web host is telling us we're using 51gb of bandwidth a day on average.
This is not a video site, or a download site. This is an article site, with jpg images. Our biggest page has about 2.4 meg of images on it. The average page is about 1.34 mb's, counting the navigation images which repeat on every page.
But don't user's browsers cache anything?
Is that bandwidth usage normal?
VPS Reliability - What Is Normal Downtime
Jun 12, 2007I currently have a Signature VPS with Servint and although I have found their customer service good and am getting concerned about my VPS's reliability. This is the only VPS I have experience with.
At the beginning of the year I was experiencing downtime at least once every couple of weeks and for at least 20 mins each time. Sometimes my VPS was down for over an hour. Most of the time the explanantion I received was a "Kernal Panic". Then for the last month and a half things have been good with no downtime, until today when my VPS went down again for about 50 mins.
So here I am asking what is normal downtime?
Is the downtime I am experiencing the norm and would I get the same reliability from any provider?
Would a dedicated server tend to be more reliable than a VPS?
I am considering moving to a dedicated server at LiquidWeb, not because I need the resources but I am wondering if reliability would improve. I am willing to pay for reliability! Any advice as to whether this would be a good move?
