Plus Linude always seemed to be on faster hardware. Slicehosts forum posts always made it seem like they went downhill after Rackspace bought them out a couple years back.

Are your SSH windows huge (like 130x50)? Otherwise, I don't see how that would be slow on an Atom. I have used some of the crappiest machines imagineable for shellboxes and they're fine unless I do something like run torrents on them.

optikalus posted:In summary, check your disk IO and swap usage. Check top as well, the other processes on the server might be hogging the CPU. Another 2GB of RAM would be dirt cheap and an SSD would be < $100. It might be a pain to get setup, though.

Beseiged posted:I've been using burst for years now. Their VPS's are decent, especially if you are just dicking around or making a small site. Anyone else have reviews of other low-price VPS providers? I was thinking about buying a 256MB VPS from either Host90 or VirtualSRV (or someone else from https://www.lowendbox.com) to play around with. That site has a forum but nobody talks about actually doing anything with their VPS except collecting them or running speedtests.

I was searching for about 10 minutes for a cheap BSD VPS host, and then I realized since you can't use OpenVZ to cram 500 BSD VPSes on one server, there aren't any.

Does anyone know of a better deal on a dedicated server than ServerPronto? AMD 2000+ 1GB RAM 80GB HDD 5 TB Traffic 100Mbps Connection $37.95/monthly For $20 I can add 20TB more bandwidth so I basically don't have to worry about overages on a 100Mbit port. Additional IP addresses are $1.50 a month (only caveat is there may be a setup fee, but it doesn't show on the order page, just the TOS). I've heard some horror stories where you have to fax them your cancellation paperwork but that's about it. I assume that CPU is an Athlon but could it be an Atom-class CPU like some low cost Intel dedicated servers? I'm going to use it as a VPN box so I'm not really concerned with RAM or HD. It would be nice if the CPU could handle a 100Mbs of VPN traffic though. They have an Athlon 4200 X2 but it's $30/month more.

You're still paging like crazy, I bet. Each apache process is using ~60mb and there's 9 of them. You have almost no free RAM in that second screen shot. Do an 'iostat -m 1' and you'll see how much it's writing every second. How big is your mysql database? Go along with what ClosedBSD was saying, there are a lot of guides out there for running a VPS in a lower-memory setup. 512MB isn't as bad as 256MB or 128MB but you're running on the edge of hitting swap. Also change your font in Putty to Consolas or something only scrubs use Courier

Okay, doesn't look like you're paging. Can you go into mysql and just do some simple things like 'show databases' and 'select * from articles' and see if happens instantly or not? I wonder if you have a Wordpress plugin or something that is making the whole site slow. Think back to when the site started acting up, and what the last thing you did was... code:

Fangs404 posted:Just ran some queries, and they ran almost instantly. I'm starting to wonder if it's a plugin too. Is there a way to log every query MySQL gets or a way to watch them in realtime? If I could see every query it's being issued, I could probably identify the problem. It does seem like you're loading a ton of poo poo on the front page. One thing you could try is disabling all the plugins and re-enable them one by one, it'll either gradually get slower or one will just gently caress the server. Before that, you might want to look up 'mysql slow query log' and see if there's a certain one or two that are doing all the damage.

I'd post in the linode forum (or search there). I think every time apache gets going it has to start up php and that takes cpu+memory, I'm not sure if you could use something like nginx or thttpd to speed things up.

Kronok posted:I'm looking into getting away from leasing servers to building and colocating my own. I'm currently looking at a 2U with 100Mbps (1200GB bandwidth cap, not 95th) with 1 outlet for $80 a month at a seemingly great datacenter with a ton of redundancy, or I could downgrade to a 1U at $55 a month. What are you going to do with it? You might be better off with a VPS. 1200GB on 100mb isn't much. 10mb will do 3 times that, maxed out. So that's like having a 3.3mbs unmetered line. But in the real world, you won't be using that much data unless you're hosting video or seeding torrents, and having the 100mb burst will be great.

Kronok posted:Basically, my main issue has been hardware, not bandwidth, so I feel like if I had a 3.3Mbps unmetered line, I'd be happy, but 3.3Mbps seems to be a lot more expensive than just asking them for 1200GB bandwidth. I peak to 4-5Mbps here and there, but it's .5Mbps on average, so I think I'd be fine for awhile. Depends on how much hardware you need. Unmeteredservers.com has a quad-core Xeon with 10mbs unmetered for $89.99, and for $80 more a month you can upgrade to 100mbs.

We don't send any SMS messages, but we send out ~ 100,000 emails a day. These are all people who are registered for our programs. Usually they are daily, tips, recipes, and the occaisonal reminder that their program is ending soon or other notifications. We simply use our dedicated server at Rackspace. I'm pretty sure you can't get a server there for anywhere near $100/month but you can at other providers, no problem. Occaisonally we'll get a company that blocks our server, but we'll call their IT staff and get it worked out. We'd never be able to pay a third-party service to do this for us, it would be way too expensive. We use some lovely software called 'Campaign Enterprise' to do most of them, the rest are dynamically generated by our software.

EoRaptor posted:I have a a growing website (b2b) that's based on a rather complex platform. It needs MSSQL, ASP, as well as PHP/MySQL. It's a worpdress content site with a set of reports powered by MSSQL and ASP with Report Control. We also handle authentication via ASP (custom wordpress plugin) so everything needs to talk. How big is your DB? We run ours on SATA drives, RAID 5 of 4 disks for the DB and mirror of 2 disks for the web apps (stupid but I didn't set it up). Rackspace gives us a dual-quad Xeon with VMware on it so we can add or remove VM's as we need them (Private Cloud) You can always add enough RAM to fit your DB in memory.

Does anyone use GoDaddy/Dreamhost/Hostgator for a small company of like 25 people? They claim unlimited email boxes etc but I was just wondering if they were horribly unreliable or slow or what. I've set up 3-4 person companies with them before but they're not huge email users, basically personal accounts.
