Hello,
I could really use a good advice about the problem we have been facing lately.
In recent weeks we have been experiencing problems with our site. Sometimes in the evening hours (low traffic) site starts to react sluggishly and even stops (loading... can't reach server).
I call our hosting provider and tell them there is a problem, they basically tell me each time that they don't know what is the problem and that I should re-check my code and optimize my mysql database.
BUT - as soon as this conversation is over (within minutes) site runs great, no delay at all.
It is obvious that they have a problem, but refuse to acknowledge it.
Any idea what is happening here? It's as if their server gets clogged and they unclog it when I call them :O
Our company is paying a pretty monthly fee for supposedly "Dedicated hosting service".
Hmm... it sounds to me as this is not the case and they are putting other stuff on our server.
Is there any way I could check this? Any trick via FTP or from PHP?
It's a shame because they are otherwise a very respectable company, have 24/7 customer service etc.
Do you have any advice on what I could do to resolve these problems?
Thank you all ! :)
