Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get a handle on what I could/should expect a
VPS Hosting to be able to do comfortably. I'd like to have a little survey of what
VPS Hostings forum users have, and how much of a load they are putting on them, and whether they experience any memory problems.
I'll start the ball rolling.
I have a
VPS Hosting-01.
I've used less than 5Gb of my 10Gb allowance
Monthly bandwidth usage in July was just under 1.5Gb (less than 1% of my possible 200Gb).
Server load rarely goes above 0.1.
Memory usage hovers around the 80% (although when I check memory usage in Main >> Server Status >> CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage the total memory for all the lines listed rarely goes above 20%)
There are 49 accounts on it (some of these accounts would have add-on domains as well, most of which alias to that account).
2 of these accounts are using Fantastico PHPNuke
website hostings (both are new and have little to no visitors). 1 Has Fantastico Joomla (this has just been installed it hasn't been setup yet). There are 15 static
website hosting and 33 'coming soon' single page
website hostings.
There are a total of 69 pop accounts across all the domains and 164 forwarders.
13 of the accounts have Spam Assassin enabled.
My problem is that I have on a number of occasions had to contact support as things haven't worked, and I've been told I'm running out of memory. eUKhosts have added a further 128Mb to my 256Mb of memory I get with the
VPS Hosting (which is burstable to 1Gb), but this doesn't seem to have made much difference. For this reason I'm not keen on upgrading until I know what is actually chewing up all the memory.
So where should I be looking to clean things up? What troubleshooting pointers can anyone offer.
Regards
Paul
