- - Are my server load averages ok? (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=143100)

thats a little hight for the number of users you have. I presume you are on a shared environment ? in which case it could be because your server is slightly overloaded. If you are on a dedicated server, something is very wrong

How do you check server loads?

go into your admin panel, at the CP Home, under Quick Administrator Links

you will see your load

Server Load Averages 0.10 0.13 0.07 | 197 Users Online (53 members and 144 guests)

Thank you!

Can you explain what the 0.10 0.13 0.07 numbers stand for?

The 3 numbers indicate the server load for 1, 5 and 15 minutes. As for what server "load" indicates

Quote:

basically the server load is a number. This number is usually under the x.xx format and can have values starting from 0.00. It expresses how may processes are waiting in the queue to access the processor(s). Of course, this is calculated for a certain period of time and of course, the smaller the number, the better. A high number is often associated with a decrease in the performance of the server.

Knowing what the value of the server load is not very important though. Knowing how to interpret the value is what counts. Unfortunately, there's a lot of debate on how to actually interpret it, even among web hosting company owners.

One thing is sure however: all of them consider a server load of 0.xx as safe. As long as most of the time the server load is under 1.00, you should not notice any problems like your website being slow (unless there are some networking related problems somewhere between your computer and the server).

The uncertainties come when the server load has values over 1.00. Most web hosting company owners apply the following rule: if the server has a single CPU (central processing unit), a server load higher than 1.00 is not good; if the server has two CPUs, a server load over 2.00 is not good and so on.

Hmmm strange. Under quick administrator links i just have Users Online 45 (23 members and 22 guests) but no server load.

Hi Guys

Just setup my newly purchased vBulletin forum at http://www.nextlevelgaming.co.uk/forum and checked my server load averages which are

7.38 5.33 4.91 | 2 Users Online (1 members and 1 guests)

after reading through this thread its made me think I need a new host. My current host is
1and1.co.uk and I am using the Business Pro package. Should the loads even be that high?

Can anyone recommend a new Uk based host?

yes move asap..... thats ridiculous for so few users....
