VPS Research

description: I'm on a VPS and have noticed for about a week that between the hours of 23:00 - 02:00, my site becomes very slow. I'm very inexperienced with VPS root access and don't know what to do. How can I check to see what's causing the problem?

description: do you have root on the hardware node? If not, I don't think anyone can give you any specific information, nor could you confirm anything. if you are paying for a vps service, you should be contacting your provider. ie, the company you pay. Rick

description: Can you elaborate a bit more on slow, Does the page take long to load? Have you logged onto the server and run "top" to see what is going on? Try downloading a big file from the server and see how the transfer rate is...

description: Yes, the page is very slow to load and sometimes it just times out. Even if site shuts down, I'm always able to use Cpanel. I'm attaching the top results from 2 days ago. Since I'm an amateur, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. It took me some time to learn about the top command -lol

description: its either a ubc failure or a bottleneck in your application. it doesn't look like it would be a hardware performance problem to me. you didn't mention if that top is on the HN or VE but its basically idle so shouldn't matter. check user_beancounters first. Rick

description: I wish I understood your post. I'm not familiar with most of the terminology. Can you provide some shell commands that I should run? I can post the results here.
