"Server Overload"! - 01/15/2001 5:26 AM
I launched my ubb site about two months ago, and within that time my hit count rose from 250 a day to about 650 to 800, bringing the total to over 20 thousand.
The board became increasingly more difficult to manage & every thing else was going well.. until the hosting company shut down the site without any prior warning. When asked repeatedly about the reason for disabling the site, they said that "the script you were running caused severe server overload which brought the entire shared server to its knees.."!
The hosting company suggests a dedicated server as the only solution.
Any idea as to why this happened in the first place & what could I do to limit the amount of resources ubb uses?
This problem has caused me a lot of headackhe & frustration. I'm watching the number of visitors drop dramatically. What should I do?
