Our site has been growing by leaps and bounds. We are around 500,000 posts and we have around 200 online users almost at all times. Our current host is shaking in the knees and is so slow because we can't handle the load. We're on a dedicated VPS with 4 cores 3gb of ram. We're only using around 120gb of bandwidth and our database is 1.5gb on cPanel/WHM. How are you guys hosting your sites? What magic are you doing? We're struggling trying to find an affordable option. Please tell me how you do this and whom you use. We're a group of role-players whom like to discuss it. Our members are extremely loyal and we really want to make our site stable. So, please, recommendat…

Admittedly, our Portal page is a heavy resource user ... with a typical list of 80 + queries per click. On the shared hosting environment, that load would take anywhere from 3 - 5 seconds. Now it shows 86 queries in 0.9 seconds. Wow!

We were having high CPU usage on MySQL (MariaDB) over the past few days. High CPU ~100% even though there were no queries/databases. Turns out it was due to 'leap second' linux kernel bug that has affected MySQL. If you are having higher than usual load/CPU usage since June 30th and haven't restarted your linux box over the past week, try the following fix. http://blog.mozilla....pu-and-the-fix/ :smile:

have not used it in a bit so now on dedicated box I wanted to see. getting this when enabling it in conf_golbal.php there are then a few other errors listed driven off that line 90. I have tried other ip and made sure port is open too, but it looks like its more an issue with classCacheMemcache.php line 90 is: any thoughts?

Whats the best method of redirecting my Old Forum all the contents (hosted in IIS) to New Forum contents (hosted in Apache linux) Example: Old : http://www.xxxx.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13449-how-to-clean-corolla-111-cristal-lightswhere/ New : http://forum.xxxx.com/topic/13449-how-to-clean-corolla-111-cristal-lightswhere/ I tried to do it using an .htaccess file but seems like it's not working in Windows IIS server. Then I tried using a web.config file, but it gives an error when I place it in the root. Guys what is the best way to do the above task? and If you can I have a working redirect code for the above task? Thanks, Muthu

Not sure, but this seemed to be the best place to put this question. I've been using GoDaddy but would like to move to another hosting service. I'm looking for a service that is easier to understand, where I can actually access the support pages, and where I can find the information I need to get things done. Which hosting service do you use & why? Thank you to those who answer.

first, having moved from whm/cpanel to directadmin I fail to see why this costs more than cpanel...but its free to me with my package so I will deal with it. to run sphinx neatly (from default install if var/sphinx) I need to run the crons as root, on centos 6.2 crontab -e is just blank and when I try to add the crons to it I get format errors. other server (centos 6.2 with cpanel install) worked fine like that. cannot see why directadmin would affect crontab -e, cannot find any definitive info, so I am hesitant to mess with it w/o some advice. thanks.

Hi there. I am a newbie with web administration and such, and need some help optimizing my site if at all possible. I have VPS from Dreamhost guaranteed at 1410 MB. I dont have a ton of traffic, and am running into issues every once and a while with a slow site, or a 500 internal server error. Dreamhost tells me it is because I am reaching the max clients? They have told me: Your total RAM is displayed in the chart, it's the orange line that peaks to about 800MB. Though what is not displayed is your total max clients allowed for you Apache service and the value is linked to how much memory you have allowed your server. Your server is currently set to 1410MB and in…

My current server uses an AMD Phenom II 3.20ghz X4 840 Processor. I have been told that this is a desktop processor. I am considering moving onto a server that uses an Intel i7 2.67ghz. Is this a server processor? My site gets 500+ online members daily, I notice a decrease in ghz but I have been told that it will handle my site better as it is a better processor. I know literally nothing about this so can anyone confirm that it is a better option?

Hi :) i have a problem, whenever i turn new user activation through email the reload page after i press "Register" takes for ever to reload and say that administrator needs you to activate account through email. On the other hand when i turn that option off it works just fine. I own a VPS and i configured it my self, is there a posiable chance that i reconfigured something and now sending the activation email takes for ever because of that? If yes than please help.

Well, it's more complicated than that, but I can't come up with a good title. So. This past Sunday, our forum at http://asoiaf.westeros.org/ received unprecedented levels of traffic thanks to the latest episode of the TV show based on the novels our site is about. Big, big load. And for the most part, our set up -- lighttpd+php-fpm, with Varnish set up for guests -- handled it okay. Note the server also hosts a popular Mediawiki which draws more visitors than the forum does. But after Sunday... things got weird. I'm going to quote our valiant server host and admin: So... any ideas as to what might have happened to start leading to this memory-chewing problem? I'…

We suffered a major crash without a conscise all-in-one-place backup, and had to rebuild a new server from scratch. In the process, we upgraded to the latest stable production versions of PHP and MySQL. Here's a heads up to folks in similar situations. The latest MySQL msi installer defaults to UTF8 charsets and collations, which causes an "illegal mix of collations" error when IPB attempts to display post content. When building from scratch, make sure MySQL builds its install with the connection/collation default to latin1/latin1_swedish_ci. If you don't, all is not lost, you can launch the reconfigure wizard to change it, as long as you've loaded the backed up datab…

Since I upgraded from IP.Board 2 to IP.Board 3 my page load times have significantly increased. Average page load time in Google Webmaster Tools went from 1.5-2 seconds to 6 (and rising). In Google Analytics the increase wasn't that bad, but still noticeable. It seems like the page is reasonably fast most of the time (Page Load Time <.3s according to the footer) but sometimes it stalls for several seconds. I already had APC installed to try and improve the situation a bit, but so far it does not appear to have done much good. Unfortunately I don't have root access to the server, so it's hard to run any proper diagnostics. I did manage to obtain some data though - s…

Hi everybody, I'd like to move to a dedicated platform, given that the mutualized / shared server my board is on cannot host us any longer, because of a too important traffic. There are several offers I looked up to, but I do not really know whether these servers will be enough to fit to my board. That is why I came here, hoping that maybe some of you could help me with that! Here are some of the main statistics of my board : - 18k members - 973k posts - Max 1k members online / 15 minutes (usually 200-600) And here are the offers that I'm interested in (these pages show the main informations about each server) : - Deewiojfsfx SC : http://www.online.net/serveur-d…
