Mister Denial Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hello folks, I am on a Bluehost High CPU shared server, which has following features: [4:28:12 AM] Specs for the current generation of "4-in-1" servers (ultimately supports 4 customer boxes): [4:28:12 AM] 8x AMD Opteron-6168 12Core (Processor) [4:28:12 AM] 1x Super Micro AS -2122TG-HTRF (Chassis, Motherboard, Heatsinks) [4:28:12 AM] 16x 8 GB DDR3-133 ECC / REG (Memory) [4:28:13 AM] 12x WD1500BLFS (Hard Drives) [4:28:13 AM] 8x Samsung 256GB SSD (SSD Drives) [4:28:13 AM] 4x LSI 9280-4i4E (Sata Controller) [4:28:13 AM] 4x LSIIBBU07 (Controller Battery) [4:28:13 AM] Storage Array: [4:28:14 AM] 2x External JBOD Chassis- 4u 45Bay SAS (Chassis) [4:28:14 AM] 90x 2TB Hitach 3.5" (Hard Drives) I am allowed to use 7% of these ressources, yet my 1000-1500 hits per day apparently force this server on it's knees. I am being CPU-throttled most of the time, which means I exceed the 7% CPU capacity of this beast. I find that very hard to believe. I mean, 7% of THAT thing is more than most VPS hosting plans offer! How's that possible? And what am I doing wrong here? I'm using cache, memcached, force compile is on off, I am using CCC, and so on... Thanks in advance for any advice! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 You probably have 7% of one CPU, not the whole server. You can try asking them to move you to FastCGI, that takes up less CPU. If you have 1000 visitors a day, you should switch to a VPS server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Denial Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi Tomerg, actually Bluehost made a mistake when they changed their hosting packages recently, I got moved from High CPU to regular shared hosting, instead of Pro Account. I now am on Pro Hosting plan, and there is no CPU throttling anymore, the website runs smooth now. As it looks and upon inquiry, I actually am allowed to use up to 7% of that servers resources (CPU / RAM), which is quite impressive! I did consider VPS server, but the way the website runs now, no need to. The only improvements would be using CDN or a cookieless media server, but I haven't figured out how to use that with PS1.4 yet. Thanks again for your time and help, much appreciated as always!
