High CPU and Exceptions over host limit issues.

[lukas24]

Hi guys had the dreaded warning from the host about our CPU usage and Exceptions.  We are on a Semi dedicated server

also who is your current host?

Going through your statistics, you should'nt be using that much cpu processing power at all unless something is wrong with some script/some mods.
and as Illori asked, who is your current host?

The reason I asked about mods, is because shoutbox/chatroom, which is set to "Real Time", can really eat your bandwidth.

Siteground would be the problem, they are an overseller and therefor trying to sell you a bigger hosting plan due to that fact.

PortaMx...

Does that have a chat thingy, or a shoutbox?

If so, are they set to"Real time"?

If so,you might want to change that.

Other than that, I can't see any of the mods being your problem.

Although, if you have a lot of vids, which you use AEVA for, could it be that?

No shoutboxes or chat of any nature

No videos either

as said no chat or shoutboxes

There's your answer.

They seem, to me, to be a bunch of con-artists.

Thanks any idea what is the best host?   Been in the forum part of the board but unsure as to what I need.  Also concerned about the high exceptions anyway as I had the same issue with godaddy

Have a look around, here:

There're a lot of personal experiences, there, so you may get some good ideas.

That machine is super overpriced.

No reason for a dedicated server for your site.

As was stated.
Check out providers here:

You  could also request here:

[Something like that]

Yeah, high end shared hosting should be sufficient.

Yup, Siteground is trying to rip you off. You can also get a decent VPS for much less than 180$
