    Hello DP members,
    I have dedicated server with:
    Dual Core ATOM
    2GB RAM
    200GB HDD
    100MB Unmetered Port

    Problem is I am running now 5 sites on this server & same time server goes down or slow.
    So I want upgrade, can anyone tell me which hardware I have to upgrade? For maintained load.

    CPU? Or Ram? Or Port?

    Please give me suggestion


    Thank You!

    You would need to provide information concerning your existing server load, memory usage, disk I/O, etc in order to provide you appropriate advice. Also, are the websites you are hosting static or dynamic, are they heavily reliant on a database, etc?

    Instead of upgrading the server for now, please check your five websites and find out which one is the most resource consuming, try to tweak the website, optimize the database if it's using one and if it's still not helping you may want to upgrade your processor I think.
