Downtime help

[matty005]

About twice a day, my VPS just quits and goes down.

I am on cpanel/whm and i have tried looking at logs, cpu usage etc. but there is nothing to show what is causing it.

I was told it could be a cron job, a customer or something else.

I've tried everything, and i have done nothing else but tried to figure out why it keeps going down.

Please help,

Matty :cry2:

Perhaps your Hosting company suffers alot of downtime, if you'd like me to take a look, then pm me your details, and we can try and fix it.

You could try asking your provider,

if no success, do contact me on IM for some free help.

VPS and Cpanel is a bad combination as Cpanel uses a lot more memory
than other control panels and is not very happy with the limited
resources of most VPS servers.

That goes triple times over if your VPS isn't Virtuozzo based as the
various VPS clones are not so good on memory and resource
management and don't isolate VPS segments enough.

Then there is also the factor of your provider's VPS nodes per server ratio
and it is not totally uncommon for providers to effectively oversell the
resources of the physical hardware machine powering the VPS accounts.

Contact me with the specifications of your VPS account and the provider's
name and I can probably tell a lot just from that. If you like, I can also
do a quick review of your server and see what is really going on and if there
is any hope of fixing the problem on your current VPS or not.

It's probably the lack of RAM, I had the same problem, VPS just bloody crashed all the time, and I had to restart it virtuozoo.

How much RAM do you have and how much is cPanel entitled to? If you're on one of those 256mb ram VPS plans, that's the problem right there.

Hey Matty, is your Hosting provider not willing to help you with this? They must be aware of it right?

Lea!
