No it's this server. I've called every day this week. They know it. Here's the basic replies:
"Upon further review, we have found two abusive users... Your site is loading normally now that the offending processes have been stopped.

"I have monitored this server today, and found another account that was utilizing most of the available processes.  This issue has since been corrected."


They want me to move to a different (cheaper) plan. That plan won't work for QJ. Unfortunately, hosting is paid through August. I've already called my credit card company for a charge back. That got someone's attention so the site was fine for a while and I paid it once they threatened to shut it down.

They can fix it. They choose not to and I'm sorry but I'm a stubborn SOB. I want what I paid for plus moving this site is a three day job and I just did that like 4 months ago. Since then I added a lot of server specific things to make sure QJ wasn't the site hogging all the resources.

What they won't say is if the reason is sites are knowingly abusing resources or if there's some known security hole that allows processes to be commandeered by outside sources. It makes a huge difference to me. Putting too many sites on a server is one thing. Not being to control access is another.

...but I'm a stubborn SOB...

I know the feeling.  I just spent an entire morning fighting a piece of 'technology' in a lab ...only to find out someone had changed one obscure setting without letting anyone know!  I respect your desire to fight & be stubborn & not give up - I hate to let the inamimate object win!  But it sucks up so much time!   Angry Angry

Thanks for all the effort. This site is still the best!   Cool

Have you checked out the company asmall orange? They have great prices and have worked great for me and several others I know. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) I am not a tech guru but just thought I would pass it along.
