lol... LET doesn't have the traffic to take down anything. At most, there's around a hundred people hitting the site.
The first day of a sale is always like this. If you don't get what you're after this go around; don't worry, there will be more
Not all of our clients come from LET. We're fairly well known on Hostloc and other overseas forums as well
Could not connect to the database
Local :P

LET/LEB accounts for like 1/10th of our total market interests. overseas ones as well as personal communities we own are all over this stuff.

How many requests/sec are you guys averaging right now?
I have no idea, the SQL is pretty much dead right now. An order takes something like 20 - 30 queries to process through so the poor things dead to the world. Ald put the site back into maintenance to allow MySQL to complete its run.
I'm in the middle of ordering an SSD setup + E3 for the billing box just to help it out.

@Francisco yeah I can tell its getting killed lol
@Francisco can't you just offload the Mysql to your own Mysql offload service?
It would more than likely kill that too.
I'm far too paranoid for that
I trust myself setting up mySQL and securing it... I don't trust cPanel.
Me order no worky:
@sleddog I saw that bar for about 2 minutes then magically the confirmation page
@sleddog lucky, I can't even get that far lol
It's just getting railed with clients.
Right now we're workin' out a game plan. Every time sales comes around we get railed harder and harder so it's hard to plan things out.

Time to move to billing panel to "the cloud" and use automatic scaling
Best reply of the whole thread.

You guys should do something I used to do... Start a waiting list (and backup waiting list) and when there is stock available, email everyone on that list. After 24 hours, email everyone on the backup list. That way you won't get hammered and people who want a spot can still get one.
Don't announce anymore, pull out some little stocks and not a bunch after 6 months.
I was really tempted to just surprise buttstocks everyone... but that ends up causing more grief than announcing <_<
So how big is the whole whmcs database anyway? Put it all in a ramdisk? With live replication to another server, so you have backup on persistent storage.
I have hourly backups of the DB, which is about 550meg (age-trimmed and compressed). I have another implementation we'll likely move to for our billing server, but I'm awaiting authorization from WHMCS and clarification on how it'll affect licensing.

This is what the DC uses as a front end to billing and mysql, pair of LVS to load balance, pair of web servers, and pair of mysql front ends to a 4 node ndb cluster. Grow any part as needed.
And... The site is back down
Wait until they put it under their DDoS protection.
@Aldryic how many KVM 128's were available at the start?
DoS protection doesnt help against the fact that we simply get so many sales requests that the httpd dies :P
You guys are like Apple when they released the iPhone 3G. I had to activate mine at home.
