Here's the error message I received at 10:45 pm. Just an FYI.

It was down, I did a restart of the server (VPS) and when it came up it still was giving errors.
I'm not sure what the hang up with CPU usage was, we weren't doing anything at all!
I really suspect they have either oversold the server hosting our VPS or they are using it for other processes.
Either way we are soon to be on the same server this forum is on and well away from Midphase.

Kestryll, does the VPS have it's own operating system installed that you can access to see what processes are consuming the CPU resources?

I have the access options of cpanel, web host manager or virtuozzo control panel. As to the VPS's OS I'm not sure if it's on the main and not the VPS's or if we each have our own.

Typically on a VPS you can see your usage, but not the cumulative load on the server itself.   I suspect the machine is running out of RAM and/or swap due to massive over-selling.

Restarted the server, we're back up.

Down again, just as I was posting a technical reply.

This is almost as annoying as Incitatus' program to incite fear and hatred of muslims.

Oh were changing allright, we're down now because I am backing up the database.
