Time for Someone to move to a dedicated server, i've nver used a dedicated server or VPs whats it like?

me too. someone can own a filesharing website with a vps

I wanna get one because i wanna experiment with Node.js

they might have signed up for some basic/standard hosting and have exceeded their bandwidth/ traffic for the month

They need upgrade

my question in the first place its a news website didnt they think visitors will increase esp in a nation where bad news is frequent. Webmasters sha

They can get a dedicated server and virtualise it into VPSes to share the load. A VPS and a dedi server both give you root access to the server. You can have many VPSes on one dedicated server, you can have many VPSes on one VPS, you can't have dedicated servers on a VPS. There are a couple of virtualisation technologies, I only have full working knowledge of one - OpenVZ for linux and that shoud be suitable for you PC Guru. If you want a windows VPS you need a XEN or KVM VPS, I dunno how those work but u need to mount an ISO image to install your win OS.

I am thinking about events just before the suspension. Where they informed and given tehnical advise to upgrade? If they were, did they ignore the warnings?

thank bro,cuz wanna learn incase i get a time where i'll be operating on a VPS/Dedicated server.

How ironic; the site is hosted with a hosting provider that promises "Unlimited" Everything.

It may as well be a publicity stunt,

^ I am still at a loss as to your analogy. Kindly explain.

Freeeeky Fracksss

@ Fury

It may as well be a publicity stunt

You never can say, it may be a well orchestrated and successfully executed publicity stunt. I use style agree with fury.

The whole buziness looks suspicious to me, and it may as well be a publicity stunt also.

The website is working na!

is loading perfectly well now, well done for the stunt

@OP what is your business if Their bandwidth has expired.
Please ooooo

YOu have to buy more bandwidth , thats not unlimited

Why exactly is a site like that using "shared hosting"?. Dunno but i think its SAD! lol

guru01:
call me a sucker for news but, that site is one of the 10 sites I visit daily for Nigerian news. It is thus annoying when such a site is down for preventable reasons. That's all.

Also, based on experience, there are many people on here who are directly or indirectly involved with various peoples who did various websites. By exposing them on this (popular) forum, sometimes the "powers that be" act fast (is this what happened here?) to avoid further embarrassment thereby ensuring a 100% user satisfaction with their sites.

did I answer your question?

I think the problem is from the website.
I have VPS account and also root access and am planning to move to dedicated.

The reason why I said the problem is from the site is that, if you look the site and analyse the site, you see that the has few traffics which can not consume the at east 1GB of bandwidth if the site is using the starter plan looking at the hosting company plans.

Assuming the owner of the site is using wordpress, joomla or other open source CMS to manage the site, plugins or extension that are not properly coded would be working in vain thereby adding unnecessary load to the server.

Sometime the PHP code and loop that are not close properly would be looping continuously in vain adding server load to the server.

When its comes to server load, it has nothing to do with bandwidth. Sometime you can used only 1% of your bandwidth and your site which is not properly coded or plugins will be causing load when only only one person visit or robot crawling your site.

It happened to my VPS when some incompatible plugins where adding server load to my vps and it was always going down when few people visits until I disable them.

Assuming you are using VPS or Dedicated, you can see which plugin is adding the load and disable it.

Go back to your site check some features that are causing the problem

Is unlikely to be Bandwidth as one indicated above there are many things that can cause server overload such as multiple Cronjob runing at the same time etc

As at the time of this post, the site is down again
