I have just moved a vBulletin site to a new VPS. How much traffic could I expect to handle with a 3ghz cpu and 2GB ram? I had 232 on the forum tonight and it just locked. thank you J
Sorry for the double post. My VPS is currently running/has allocated to it: 2GB RAM 2x 3ghz 64 bit cores Lots of disk space In my past experience 2GB RAM should be more than enough to run a site with 232 users on the forums, this one isn't. 232 users filled RAM, started swapping and spiraled to it's death. There has got to be something wrong somewhere. I am looking for someone with a similar setup that can tell me how much traffic this VPS should be able to handle comfortably given the hardware. My site is growing quickly and I need some guidance please. Thank you!! J
Do you still need a help? It's all about how you optimized your VPS actually. If you go for managed VPS ask the technician to do it for you. If not then you might need to read more regarding VPS optimization tips ^^.
It's an unmanaged VPS, with ssh and ftp. I did not install the OS or LAMP portions on the current one. I am sure I can gain a bit of memory back, if i do the installs myself. I requested another VPS for me to install the "perfect vBulletin setup" on for testing. I am looking for a link to that information now to get moving. Thanks J
Every site is different, you'll have to see as you are having a lot of users on at the same time. Just check if you can optimise your vBulletin install also, as some work can be done from that end to see.
I understand, I am using CentOS and would like a vBulletin approved LAMP to start with, tweak from there. There has got to be someone who did the same thing I am doing. J
Maybe your VPS node is oversold and you are running into disk i/o contention problem. This seems to be alot of ressources for a VPS and price should reflect it. Why not get your own dedi with these specs as minimum ?
I am the only one on the big blade server currently. I am being moved to a new host in the cluster tonight because of a possible issue on my current host, I don't know what the issue is yet with it. That is all fine and dandy and may explain the high load (54.0 before it locked tight) when swapping, but that doesn't explain my bloated httpd and mysql process footprint. Lean and mean for the new one. Reading alot right now. Thanks J
If I were you I would go for a Dedicated server instead. There are several affordable quad core servers now adays.
By this: 2GB RAM 2x 3ghz 64 bit cores Lots of disk space You mean your VPS is on a machine with above specs? May I have the link of your VPS package? Like what Camay123 said, it might got problem with disk i/o. Probably due to overselling.
No that's my "slice" of the big pie/cluster. I am the only one on the new blade server at an ISP I deal with, it's not oversold and there is no link to the package. Thanks J
