The reason why I have the server all by myself, is simply that they've moved all the other sites to newer computers. My site has been running for nearly three years without any major trouble, though, so we've never had any reason for moving it - until now, that is. > > Hopefully the current provider backs up your site to > zip disk each night :-)Better than that: *I* keep complete backups!> > My opinions of course and you may or may not be in any position to move your > site off that server for whatever reasons, but I would think that yes, it is > a bit overworked,Moving it is then. I just wouldn't go for that solution unless I had at least *some* reason to believe it would help (the sys-op is convinced overloading isn't the problem, but he hasn't managed to find any alternative answer either).I still can't understand why it happens now, though. The traffic has been fairly stable for three years, and I haven't done any *drastic* changes to the site. (Just small, daily updates - another WebDNA script here, a new page there... ...OK, OK! this was bound to happen sooner or later, right? And, of course, according to Murphy's law, it had to happen at the worst possible time - which is exactly what it did...) > > plus the outdated WebCat alone...all the extras you're > missing with version 4.x.Not much I can do about that. My isp seems to be far more interested in php than WebDNA these days :-(But of course I can find another isp if I have to. Any idea how much I should expect to pay for - say 1GB storage 50GB monthly transfer (with full ftp access and WebDNA)?
