Soulwatcher Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I started this website on shared hosting and it was a major mistake. I had problems with the host as soon as the website went live. Furthermore, I have since moved the website to a VPS and moved away from shared hosting. The VPS is scalable, so I can increase the size of the VPS as we grow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpvr Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Good thinking on moving to a vps! A VPS server should keep this forum running smoothly for along time. 🙂 Edited March 10 by Cpvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this VPS size should be good enough for a long time. I am pleased with it. and the cost is reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_skeith Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 VPS is pretty good to make sure the forum remains responsive, hopefully the hosting has good uptime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I may be stuck with shared hosting until I have a job, and at that time can move to a 5-6/mo VPS to start. Since I've already paid for a year of the shared hosting, I could convert it to something else and let it expire later once I do move over.

Soulwatcher Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 My VPS is overkill and it's $55 a month. Idk why but a week ago I had high CPU usage and a high load at night. But it's gone now and I am going to be down sizing soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were coming from various china ips. I ended up ip banning them. Most of the ips started with 101.44.249 or 101.44.248. A lot of other webmasters were having this same issue. They were discussing it on reddit. Edited March 22 by Cpvr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do. There’s a list of ip’s on the reddit topic too. Poland has been spending spam traffic to other webmasters as well, but I’m not too if they’re they’re spoofing ips from china too. https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/s/Cb6qm1cTj4  Edited March 22 by Cpvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
