Help - Lunar Pages Says I'm "utilizing excessive resources"

    Okay, so I'm fairly new with running websites. Lunar pages just told me my sites are taking up too much bandwidth for shared hosting. I've used 1% of my monthly bandwith - how can this be?

    Here is what they say:

    Your account is utilizing excessive resources, causing a significant
    degradation of services on the server. This is a shared environment and we
    can not allow one user to utilize the majority of the resources on a server
    as it affects all users adversely. Because of this, you have been
    temporarily moved to the medon server.

    A detail of the problem is shown below as:
    CPU: 7.34 %
    Memory: 1.75 %
    Mysql: 0.5 %

    reel693 reel69.com 5.80 2.08 0.3
    Top Process %CPU 57.0 /usr/bin/php
    Top Process %CPU 36.0 /usr/bin/php
    Top Process %CPU 33.0
    
    
    As per above usages your account is more suitable for a VPS or dedicated server, not a shared situation.
    
    
    
    I've used less that 50 megs of bandwith this month.  Does this see normal?

    I doubt that the problem is bandwidth. It is likely CPU demand. If there were 50 sites on the machine, each gets 2% of the CPU. At 7.34% you are killing three other users.

    That is a sign you have a heavily scripted site. Those kinds do not belong on shared hosting environments, which are really intended for low traffic sites that serve static or minimally scripted pages.
