    Hi I have a website and for past 1 month it is daily down for nearly an hour during peak traffic hours, i even changed my server and hosting account but it did not help in any way. Is it possible that someone has hacked into my website ?

    Thanks for reading this post and your kind replies

    If it is being down in peak hours then it is definitely due to traffic. You need to tune your application and database to serve this traffic. How much traffic do you receive during peak hours?

    Do you run any cronjobs?

    The first, basic things to do is check all your logs.

    • webserver logs
    • database server logs
    • applications logs (if any)

    When it's down... do you see any errors? Such as "HTTP Error 408 Request timeout"?
