Website being throttled

That is to generic of an error I think you need to switch hosts before you go any further.

Any shoutbox, chat bars or instant message scripts you use and are hosted on your own server will "always" use tons of resources. I know ozzy will disagree because he has worked with most DB Tech mods but vBshout has always been a huge culprit of this.

The only way that shout systems wont cause this is if you are are on a dedicated server instead of shared hosting.

The best way to have a shout box or chat bar is to use one that is not hosted on your server. I personally use Envolve which you can find here: https://www.envolve.com/

Try it out ...

My host is the cat's meow. Could be you went too cheap on hosting.

I agree Shout boxes use up resources, but he had like a total of 10 people online at the time 4 members and 6 guests, hardly a reason for the issues.

The issue apparently was the DB backup i did on the site before i updated to 4.2.2.

I really like alot of the DB mods i have found. Im running two atm.

That being said, My forum is not that big atm and still growing. Once i reach a point of 100 people online using shoutbox ill get a VPS

This thread has years of feedback from countless vBulletin clients looking for good hosting - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...monials-thread use it to your advantage i.e. grab a cup of coffee sit down for a few and read up . Make sure you make a well-informed decision before simply switching hosts.

it is resource heavy when you do a database back up depending on how you do it. This probably put your resources over the top for a short amount of time and put you on their radar.

If you are using the database back up mod here set it up so it does not do the entire thing in one chunk.

What is the other database mod you have?

Either way I would get rid of them and get a better host.

Fair enough ozzy....but I did use one shoutbox, not sure which one it was and I only had 5 members chatting and I was getting flagged every time for it....which is why I now use the chat bar I have which is not hosted on my server ....haven't had any problems since ...
