Hi.
I wouldn't add too much dinamic content in the main page, specially with CPU usage problems.

Sorry :P

Seems to be down?
HostGator took us down AGAIN for high CPU usage! What th'!! They claimed it was because of 50 simultaneous accesses to the main page! I think we need to be thinking about another host. That's just rubbish, to kill the site without warning like that; not once but twice! :evil:

Anyway, I made some changes to caching, etc and that seemed to satisfy them for the moment so it should be back now. :roll:
Could we consider using TuxFamily as a host?

What is happening? :cry:

Also I recently got a personal message from someone wanting to edit the wiki
I suggest they register
Still could not edit
I suggest they get permissions from Raffy
They get permissions
Still can not edit and send me stuff to edit :roll:

Is this a wiki or Fort Knox? :?
Anyone else want to edit the wiki and unable to?

I blame the spammers . . . :P

puppylinux.org taken down again!

#44 Post by WhoDo »

Hostgator has killed off puppylinux.org AGAIN! That is the third time and also without any warning whatsover; just a "beg pardon" AFTER the event! Here is the text of the Support Ticket raised:

Hello,
This is a courtesy notice to inform you that the following directory has been temporarily disabled due to excessive resource usage:
/home/whodo/public_html
As you can see above and below, the directory in question contains at least one script which was using more than the 25% CPU usage allocated to your account as per our terms of service. Because we were unable to identify the script (It was defunct in the process listing), we had no choice but to disable your entire public_html directory. Exact statistics are below:

You will need to optimize your site for a PHPSuExec native environment in order to mitigate this issue.

To reply to this ticket, please be sure to email 5006912@tickets.hostgator.com from the email address you created the ticket with.
As you can see there were only 4 processes running at the time. That is nowhere near good enough IMHO. I believe we should be looking for another host with more concern for its users than HostGator has displayed.

I have emailed our website admin (Prit) and raffy who both have access to the admin level of puppylinux.org for maintenance. In the meantime please be patient.

I don't know much about this but what about Internode? They seem at least to be Linux friendly with their mirroring of Ibiblio.

I'm sure they host, and they are fast.

Just my 2c.

simple for now

#47 Post by raffy »

It's back to simple website for now, at least until the difficult recurring error at the site is solved. It will take some time.

Darreljon is making available a wikibook:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42755
It must be good to have the translations there, too.

There was plenty of warning: it's in HostGator's TOS.
...the directory in question contains at least one script which was using more than the 25% CPU usage allocated to your account as per our terms of service.
I note the HostGator plan is called "Baby Croc." Now without investigating, I can only deduce that this is a lower tier plan. Sometimes in the interest of saving money we short change ourselves, which I suspect is the case here.

Linode offers both robust hardware and excellent plans. Just don't expect visiting their site to be like a visit to the Family Dollar store.

Just as a matter of interest, puppylinux.org is now back in its more familiar guise, replete with Google ads to help pay its way (I hope).

@AJ - welcome back. TOS notwithstanding, an email to the admin with a chance to debug the problem before bringing the whole site down might have been much better customer relations from Hostgator. We are not your average home web site, and Baby Croc is supposed to be an UNLIMITED hosting package (their description not mine). It costs us (me personally) around $US100 per annum for the hosting.

Actually, a better understanding of the TOS and adherence to it would have prevented the shutdown of the site.
We are not your average home web site, and Baby Croc is supposed to be an UNLIMITED hosting package (their description not mine).
Read the destription and the TOS very carefully.....there are limits imposed...the site exceeded them and that's why it was taken down. It matters not whether it's a home web site, a corporate one or a hobby site....it has limitations.
It costs us (me personally) around $US100 per annum for the hosting.
And you're getting what you pay for.....a web site with limitations. The TOS applies to all of the plans....

well-taken

#59 Post by raffy »

Points well-taken. If the revenues will be sufficient, Virtual Private Server is being eyed for puppylinux.org, such as this one by dreamhost.

But.....their restrictions point out that you may be asked to get a private server

What do you mean "Unlimited"?

What we mean is, you don't have to worry about disk storage or network transfer when your site gets popular.

You DO still have to worry about plenty of other things though... if your site isn't well optimized and is causing issues for others on your shared server (either because it's pounding the CPU, hogging RAM, or doing tons of disk I/O), you may be asked to sign up for your own DreamHost Private Server.
