Maybe you noticed since few days there was no posts and some posts that have been added on sunday are no longer available. The whole story was about our hosting account, which is currently a shared hosting but advanced as its name indicates. But the problem that the hosting provider is very anxious about resources consuming, almost every month I got an email from their abuse service, fix your scripts or go out and they have no problems to say it.
I have in my plans to move very soon to a dedicated server, but currently there is no need to spend $200/month on a server that I won't really use. Today current use of the server looks very normal for me CPU% 1.55, Memory% 4.02, nothing special for a static website running only few AJAX demo with PHP. Top Process today %CPU 99.0 proxy.php, which is the script I used for the AJAX and AWS demos. I have disactivated the script until I fix this issue, but see why the abuse service was worried :
The proxy.php script is using 99% of cpu and if that is an anonymous proxy script it will need to be removed as we dont allow proxies on our server. Top processes shouldn't exceed 25%. We also would like to see daily memory usage below 3%.
