Hi, I am Zohaib Hassan and i am a newbie in blogging world. I have a blog on wordpress and its a self-hosted wordpress blog. I am having only three blogs which only get about 10,000 or less unique users per day. All blogs are simple tips and tricks blogs. Check Blogs http://www.folsol.com/ (issue here) (contains 380 posts) http://www.freesms4.com (server changed) (contains 21000 text messages) http://www.allabouttips.com (issue here) (contains less than 500 short posts) And My HOST is Hostgator, previously, i was on hostgator shared hosting and suddenly hostgator suspended my account saying my sites make their server go out of memory. I was surprized however, i shifted to their VPS level 4 where they provide CPU: 1.98 GHZ, RAM: 1344 MB, Disk Space 59GB, and Bandwidth 1050GB. I thought it should meet my needs as my blogs are just baby blogs BUT still, SAME issue. Then i again upgraded to VPS 6 where they provide CPU: 3.39 GHZ, RAM: 2304 MB, Disk Space 102GB, and Bandwidth 1800GB and its rate is about $150/month. BUT Still my sites go out of memory and having same issue and CPU remains 90% to 100% and loads average is 10 to 20. I deleted and re-install themes, plugins and even entire wordpress on all sites, But Still my blogs make server (my VPS Level 6) go out of memory, sites load very slowly or give errors. Kindly HELP me, i will pay $50 and will be THANKFUL to him/her.
Do not use statistic plugins on the site, if you are using any. Use W3 Total Cache on all blogs. Change hosting companies. I was with Hostgator and they were telling me the same BS. I switched to JustHost and they fixed the issue and I didn't have to pay more than the shared hosting fee.
With those VPS specs, and only 10k uniques per day, you shouldn't be experiencing that many issues. How many plugins do your WP installations have? Have you installed caching either at the WP level or server level? Are you running suPHP or DSO? Feel free to PM me if you need assistance
Dont use YARPP plugin on large sites... or at least don't let YARPP consider your Tags but just the title and category.... this will lower the server load drasticly. Had the same issue....
I am not using YARPP now and also using super cache plugin, sites load fine but still, load issue is not solve.
definatly sounds like a script issue, do you have access to server logs and a list of currently running processes? (usually available via ssh also have you checked your php.ini file to see what the memory limit is currently set too? http://www.teknobites.com/2007/04/27/how-to-edit-phpini-file-to-increase-memory-limit/
Leave only one blog per server and watch it closely, you will see which one causes trouble. Then create a fresh blog install and move your posts (import db dump) there.
