Hey Guys

I diversified hosting accounts around 6 months ago so All my earnings wouldnt dissapear in case of hosting errors. I have about 20 sites on hostmonster and now I am experiencing a lot of what they call "throttling" which basically means people can only go into my sites 50% of the time or so and the other 50% get "cannot find server".

This needs to change of course but host monster cannot give me specifics only tips like getting wp super cache etc to get cpu usage down.


Any tips on what I should do?

  • Chances are you're using wordpress blogs, right? Every time someone hits your site the info is pulled from a mysql database and depending upon how much info you have on your sites this can cause a lot of requests to the mysql server.

    Most hosting companies that offer shared hosting will do this to keep your account from affecting other accounts on that server in a negative way. If things get bad enough they'll disable your account.

    You can try installing caching on your blogs or move some of your sites to another hosting account or upgrade your account. There are others on here that are better at optimizing wordpress than I am, but that's basically what is going on.

    • How much time are you being throttled for? I agree with bretski you should figure out how to get caching set up on your site.

      I wouldn't be trying to run 20 sites from a shared hosting plan in general though. Throttling is really bad though because if googlebot hits the site while it's being throttled you may get knocked for having a slow-loading site.
