I have 5 sites hosted on a dedicated Apache Linux server leased through a major national hosting firm that sponsors a major national female race car driver.
Just to be clear this is a dedicated server. I have complete control and there are no other sites on it except mine.
Occasionally the server will crash and no sites on it are accessible.
Neither can I access simple control panel for the server.
The crashes usually occur just after I send out a newsletter to approximately 8000 people.
Tech support for the major national hosting firm say that the server should be easily able to handle the traffic generated.
But it seems to crash at the exact time that I send the newsletter.
Can I increase the bandwidth, or do I need to move to another server?
Or is this just a random occurance?
