Hello, I got like more than 2500 hits in less than 10 minutes. Since then website is showing 503 Service unavailable error frequently. I am using MySQL as database and ASP.NET for the dynamic work & Godaddy shared hosting account for this website. Here are few questions:- a) Is it a common issue with this much traffic ? b) Should I move to other hosting provider ? If yes, which one ? c) Or Should I move to better package like Virtual Dedicated Server or completely dedicated server ? d) Does number of images have an affect in this particular problem ? Also size of images also do matter ? e) If I move to dedicated server, should I use some hosting provider services or setup my own. Which one is more feasible ? f) Any suggestions or solutions are more than welcome. Please help me, if I am really worried.
2500 hits from where? is it an attack? If it's an attack, you'll get the same problem everywhere you go. Unless you have a huge load of RAM to sustain it.
I think that you need contact your current web host and try to get some explanations. I think you will be asked to upgrade.
