Hi guys, I chose justhost.com as my web host a few days ago. Today my pdf search engine website kept going up and down today and at one time, it was down for about 30 minutes. Live support was quite fast, but they couldnt really help much. So I had to create a support ticket. I got this reply from them: So now, I replied to them and asked if they could move it to a high end server incase the same problem happens in the future. I actually stated that I will get a full refund if a similar problem happens in the future. So now, shall I actually stick with them? or shall I go for the full refund (30 day money back gaurenteed?) Also if I do leave justhost, can you guys recommend me any good web hosting companies that can cope with high network resources and are reliable? Edit: Could it be search engine crawlers that are using up the network resource on the server? http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=958409 Shall i try what is said in that thread and do you think it will help? data i got from my cpanel awstats.. seems like it Sorry im new to this type of problem and I really appreciate if you guys can help. Thanks!!!!!!!!
The support guy said that some other sites caused a high load on the server. He also said that this is fixed by blocking those accounts. This problem is common for shared servers and can happen even on the best server you can find. You should read through their terms and conditions, probably they are protected from giving you a refund because of this. Maybe you can get them to move you to a better server but you can never be completely free of this problem. The only option here is to go for a dedicated server. If your budget allows it this will be the best choice. With a dedicated server you don't have to worry about other sites making high loads and also you will have all the resources you need. I also checked your site and from what I see it does not use many resources as you use docs.google.com to display the PDFs. I don't think you should change your host just for this. If this things happens again you should ask them to move your site to a different server and if not try to get your refund and get a new host.
blocking the search engine crawlers wills top your site content being listed in google and others. I'd move to a high end server, you're going need your own resources soon.
thanks for the info.. im trying out hostgator and see where i go from there.. maybe vps option in the future
Yes, it's a possibility no matter where you are if it's a shared server. But some hosts are better at monitoring servers before such issues go too far.
As far as I know bluehost has some system to block abusive users automatically.VPS is good as you get dedicated resource
hi without vps i will give you good suggestion to you. its working high speed when its have high traffic

You should try FirePowerHost, they don't oversell ever so you can be sure that your site doesn't go down.
Looks like Google loves your website with all the new fresh content, anyhow yes. Personally i think every provider should have a fallback solution if this ever happens and why was the server not being monitored? The servers should be under 24 hour watch either it by a uptime service that sends SMS/Phones when down or a level 1 support technician it doesn't matter they all should be watched. - Jacob DwellWeb.com
