I got my vbulletin site shut down.. Plz Help !!

I was a happy user of servage hosting, until my site got popular and then since, 2 days.. My site got shut down for the second time now.... For server overload.

This is the email i got :

I'm afraid I have bad news for you. We have been forced
to take your account offline for the day due to an extremely
high load on your account. At this time today our servers have
served more than 417011 requests for your account.

You have not used to too much transfer it is a load issue meaning
that your site has used too many CPU resources on the cluster. If
more customers on the cluster caused such high load it would make
other sites on the system run slower which would not be fair to the
webmaster of those sites.

Servage claims to offer 3600 GB bandwidth but looking at the stats, i dont consume more than 50 GB bandwidth per day. so whats the problem here ? What should i do next ?

My vbulletin info:
Version : 3.6.4
I have 3 styles , 20+ mods installed.
Average users online per day : 500-700

Tried looking up some information on dedicated servers but terms like "Xeon" ,"Woodcrest" , "Switch Port" really scared me .

Also, dedicated servers offer not more than 1000 Gb bandwidth for 100$+ !!!! but servage claims to offer me 3600 GB bandwidth for 7$ a month for shared hosting !! Is this a rip-off ..?? or whats the hidden thing i dont see ????

Thanks for your help in advance.

They said it is not bandwith, it is server load. Get a VPS, it is really the only solution.

Any chance you are using vbshout?

Listen to ultimate. If you're forum is that big, get a VPS.

PS - 3.6 TB of BW for 7 dollars? I think their overselling....

What's the activity going around your site?

This has nothing to do with storage and bandwidth. It's a matter of using CPU and RAM on the server. If one user takes too much, the others on the server will experience slowdowns and such.

So what determines the load on the RAM ???

Based on my requirement of :
10,000 threads
20,000 posts
8,000 members
and 700 average per day...

which hosting do u recommend ?

Just get a VPS. NetworkSoulutions.com is a good VPS place. I dont know if they have it anymore though.

I'm using KnownHost.com's service & I prefer KnownHost. Their support is awesome.

PowerVPS.com is the absolute best hosting that I've ever had in ~8 years running websites. Their staff and support are outstanding, and they have packages that will suit you fine.
