Re: Site Going Slow
I think I finally found out what was wrong with the server and fixed it. Time will tell though!!!
Due to all of the site being database driven, there was a backlog building up relating to the maximum number of "files" the database server could have open. Was set to 90, and is currently using 125+ in quiet time of day. I think that was the issue.
It doesn't help when the server is constantly being hammered by bots either.
Time will tell.

12 hours downtime. Sorry about that chaps. I was out in the pub so didnt notice the site was down. I shall purchase some more credits at pingdom.com so they send me a text message when the server is down.

Re: Site Going Slow
Anyone notice the site going slower that usual? I think I may move it onto a cloud server in the next few weeks.

Re: Site Going Slow
Perhaps. Or the Rackspace Cloud! That should serve us better.
