Hi and hello,
I recently moved to a new hosting company. Trying to install a new 'test-forum' next to my working forum, I ran into a "429 Too many requests" error.
Having contacted the hosting company they say that the forum-installation process makes "too many" AJAX calls in too short of time and suggested that I asked IPB if there was a way to slow down these AJAX requests.
So I did and the answer was that there was no way to change the speed in which it installs and it should be solved at the hosting end.
I contacted my hosting back and their only solution is for me to go VPS or Dedicated Server, costing me more money then I have.
On top of that I fear that if I tried to update my current working forum, I will run into the same 429 error and because the update process is going to be aborted that will damage my live forum.
So question, what other options do I, or my hosting company have except for me moving to a new host? And if I do, what do I need to know/ask this new host to know if they have the right server settings to be able to host this forum software? In the 10-14 years I use Invision software I've never run into this, hence I ask. Maybe it's just a weird host.
Cheers and thank you for your time!
