content: Sorry to have to report in Dave but the site is soooo slow at the moment.Perhaps it's just the migration over to the previous host again though?

content: Yes the specific hour its like to walk on glue ...I bet that Dave will see the server logs, and find out the problem..The truth are that due issues with the older host , he moved to the new ...Now he is back , but how healthy and stable is the service ?

content: Yes, I know.I don't really know why it's slow now and not the other day.My shared server is being CPU throttled.I can only presume this is a bad thing. Hostmonster say under 500sec/hour is fine:QuoteSorry guys, I don't know what to do.I can only presume my bandwidth is too much for a shared server.The blog gets 120,000 views/month, the forum gets about 350,000 views/month, database accesses are in the squillions, plus thousands downloading large podcast video file.Dave.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 17, 2011, 12:42:14 amMaybe disabling some of the features that cause extra SQL queries (like showing the members in a thread and anything else that isn't 100% necessary) will help alleviate the load?

content: is there any monitor for database query? to confirm that this is normal usage bandwidth, or some other unusual behaviour, such as DOS.

content: We all like to help some how , but the decisions are yours Dave ..I do not know if its possible , the forum to be hosted separately than the Blog.Separate servers , less load at its one.

content: There are two threads about this. Should we consolidate into one?Multiple servers are always an option, the big $ question is: It is necessary?It would be better to know what actually produces the load.Is it the blog, the forum, the video files, a plugin or something completely different? Depending on the answer there are different fixes.

content: Agreed saturation, when it's like it is now it's fantastic. However when goes bad it seems to go real bad, I think last night was the slowest I've ever seen a web site respond without timing out.

content: Yes now it works , but if you like to act like an Haker ,so to drop down the EEV at it knees ,you just need to download or watch podcast video ... lots of them ..
