stuffedhippo Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have a PS shop (version 1.4.3) which is starting to get 5000+ visitors a day. It is now starting to fall over. The client hosts the site themselves on a Windows server (I tried to convince then to go for a Linux). Is it PS itself that would start to struggle of the server? Any advice/help would be much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisranjana.com Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 It is now starting to fall over. Are you receiving any specific error messages ? What do you specifically mean by "fall over" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffedhippo Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 No error messages - just time out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocothecat Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Its down to lack of bandwidth / memory and cpu resources. If your host is not willing to help its time to move on. A client of mine crashed my old server when we launched her site she got over 45,000 page requests in under 2min. Now I moved to a new dedicated box (touch wood) I've had no problems since with her site or my clients site. She gets between 55,000 - 100,000 visits per month depending on how many promo videos she launches. So my advice... look for a new host or move to your own vps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffedhippo Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks cocthecat. I thought this is more than likely the case. I have to be honest I have no idea what setup they have on the dedicated Window server - they give me very little access. They have told me that the CPU usage is not maxing out when it does crash, but I am still sure it is the server rather than the site itself. Many thanks, new server it is!!!!!

cocothecat Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) How much ram do they have? Are they on dedicated or shared? Do you have dedicated ram and cpu usage? Even on some "dedicated machines" its still shared!!! Its all down to how the host actually words stuff..
