My website has been online for about 7 days, today when I went to my website the page said that my account had been suspended. I contacted my hosting company and was told that my account was suspended for too many queries per second. I asked if they were sure it was my account since it had only been online for a week. This is their response: "Yes we can check the site which is requesting too many queries per second. Unfortunately it was yours and it sent the load beyond sky limits. We will have to close your account, sorry to see you go as a customer". They made a backup of my website for me. I just looking through the logs and I don’t see any abnormal traffic (927 visitors). They only thing I can think of is some type of DDOS attack. Where can I look to see if my website actually had beyond sky limits traffic? Thanks
These are the stats from my stat meters: Feedburner: 1,062 visitors Sitemeter: 1,042 visitors http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f278/jazzie142/serverphp.png Stat Counter: 1,121 visitors Monday 5th November 2007 74 Sunday 4th November 2007 1,121 Saturday 3rd November 2007 859 Friday 2nd November 2007 92 Thursday 1st November 2007 66 Wednesday 31st October 2007 76 Tuesday 30th October 2007 0 My hosting package: 3 GB Storage 80 GB Bandwidth I don't think this is enough traffic to overload a server or is it?
I would ask for my money back if I were you. I would also look in the Apache logs. Bots tend to request pages but not supporting elements so tracking images and javascript can't track bots. It's possible that you did get a lot of traffic that didn't show up in your other traffic tracking methods.
