Server Status Page - posted by dg - on March 29 2008
I've decided to modify the uptime page, to reflect also the load average on the server and the time since the last reboot, so the uptime become the server status page.
Thanks go to fido, for the help provided.
Problem Solved - posted by dg - on March 22 2008
During the last couple of weeks there have been some problems on the node where our server is located. However the problems have been solved and the server load has returned to normal.
Once again, I'd like to apologize for any inconvenience caused during the last couple of weeks.
High CPU Load - posted by dg - on March 09 2008
As you might know, our server is a Virtual Private Server (VPS). There are advantages and disadvantages when owning a VPS. The good part is that you don't have to worry yourself with hardware failures, since the provider takes care of that, and even if the node where our VPS is located suffers a hardware failure, our server can be restored within minutes on a different node from one of our VPS backup images.
The disadvantage is that when another VPS hogs the CPU on the node, we all suffer the consequences, and it affects the CPU load on our VPS. As some of the user noticed, there were some moments today when the server was pretty slow. This was caused due to a very high CPU load on the same node where our server is located. The provider has been informed about this, and is trying to track down which VPS is causing the problem.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might cause, but there is little I can do about it other then contact the provider.
