InMotion is forcing me to upgrade...help

Switch hosts and demand a refund. 946 websites on one server is just dumb. Your vbulletin scripts dont cause constant load they only cause any load when they are clicked. I am willing to bet their server is misconfigured especially MySQL and your basic MySQL queries eat their server.

Just switch hosts.

You might want to upgrade vbadvanced.

Shared hosting is not optimal for vbulletin. When I moved my site from shared hosting to a bunk 2nd hand server was a major improvement for my site. I was getting a LOT of error emails. Most of those where due to settings / restrictions that hosts will normally not turn off for shared hosting.

Thanks!

The site itself seems to be running fine. The only time i get errors is when I try and enable mgc chatbox.

They are just saying I am overloading their server lol. Which I am beginning to think they are full of shit.

God I really don't want to switch hosts again lol. Such a pain in the ass.

Thanks for the info everyone!

The chatbox can be causing the server load to increase. Most chatboxes do this if not configured properly.

Though i seriously doubt if its causing that much load increase.

Depending on how u had that shoutbox setup average a page refresh every 5 seconds and its deployed on every page. Thats 30 page refreshes every 5 seconds and will eat a server up. Switch to Inferno Tech Shoutbox with AOP if u must run a shoutbox otherwise dont use one at all.

Right if you dont NEED it dont use one!

Anyway,

You can switch hosts easily if you find the right one.

With Cpanel you can transfer accounts from 1 host to another with just the accounts username and password... Its simple! I say move and transfer!

some stats if it helps...

do these make sense to what they are telling me?

Those are your traffic stats mate , they just show how many people visited your site and how much traffic you used up. You probably need to invest more money into a better host that can hold your forum with all it's hacks and mods.
