  1. An existing and so far happy customer here. I may be writing an app that will generate a lot of traffic to my website. I will gladly pay for any excess bandwidth needed, but am wondering about two questions:

    1) what server load limits does DiscountASP have for its customers? See below for a definition

    2) Does DASP practice load balancing? I think I read somewhere it does.

    What is Server Load?

    Load expresses how many processes are waiting in the queue to access the computer processor. This is calculated for a certain period of time, and the smaller the number the better.

    We consider a load value under 10 to be acceptable.
    Why is my server load high?

    Shared and Reseller plans: We are already aware of the problem because we monitor your server closely. Likely another user is causing the high load, so we will suspend that person and restore the server to a normal load.

    VPS and Dedicated servers: Possibly you have SQL connections that are not closing properly, or a broken script, or you are experiencing abnormally heavy traffic, or your server could be under attack.

    Load balancing is a computer networking methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers or a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, disk drives, or other resources, to achieve optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload. Using multiple components with load balancing, instead of a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy. The load balancing service is usually provided by dedicated software or hardware, such as a multilayer switch or a Domain Name System server.
     
  2. Hello?

    Echo to get a reply please. Any info appreciated about what DASP server loads are, if published.

    Maybe I am in the wrong forum...so I will repost this in the database forum and if I get an answer cross-link to this post.
