If you are having that issue leave, there is no point and I had another company due the exact same thing. What it really means is that they have overloaded the box so much that is just dies.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS.
@Mun
I'll stick with ChicagoVPS for now considering I don't know of any other host that does 2GB of RAM for $5/month. I use the VPS for less critical things so a little downtime each day isn't a huge issue.
The interesting thing is that I'm not using many resources at all when it crashes. So their nodes must be really oversold.
@wdq agree.
My 3 nodes are online, let me put the uptime
I had a similar issue and the servers weren't overloaded at all, but the main node was, it isn't going to get better, and I just got tired of it.
That's strange @wdq I haven't had such downtimes and have one vps in each location... however past 2 days I've had some slow downs and awaiting CVPS to solve. So far, still getting ticket answered within the hour.

@wdq You need AutoBoot. Seriously.
@LAKid maybe your VPS is seen as abusing the node's resources, that's why it is shutdown so often. What do you do with that VPS?
That's not it. My VPS on LA1 needs daily booting and I'm running nothing more than nginx, php-fpm and MySQL.
For a single install of Chyrp that StatCounter says has no hits besides my own.
Who can I talk to in order to license this for my VPS.. @DewlanceVPS, you wanna port AutoBOOT to Cent6?
@wdq in an overloaded situation... do you actually get access to the assigned 2GB all the time? Not just from what 'free' said, but actual usage without crashing the node.
@ihatetonyy @rds100 I can pretty much verify that in a properly configured nginx/php-fpm/mysql setup, you can most of the time run a pretty heavy site with about 512MB actual usage, as long as the physical resources are not taxed. Just one thing to bear in mind, if it's OpenVZ and it's not using VSwap (requires CentOS 6 on the host node), 2GB of ram is actually about 1GB of actual usage as OVZ overallocates for specific processes, thus why you seem to be able to do more with 1GB of ram on Xen-pv or Kvm with the same configuration, yet the processes themselves don't seem to take up as much memory.
@rds100 I wish I am running something, but it's sitting idle due to going offline, can't trust the box, so am not doing anything, it still goes down once a day.
@LAKid does it go down at the same time of day every day, or random?
@rds100 It's random, sometimes morning, sometimes evening, I opened the ticket, and day later, they said that "check what you're running", I said, "there is nothing to run",
and they close the ticket.
I use 1.2GB in the 1st node of RAM, no downtimes as you can see. Probably it's the node.
@wdq It could be any number of things but if you say its just nginx and php, I'd ask them to move you somewhere else and see if the problem still exists... and if it still exists double check everything... make sure you're certain and then move to another provider all together in your case.
Lots of information flying around, I do hope we can see some sort of real explanation from ChicagoVPS on this. Especially on what is being done to prevent this happening in the future.
SecureDragon can put out an RFO when they have issues (within 24 hours) - https://my.securedragon.net/announcements.php?id=218
It's that sort of transparency & openness that makes me respect providers.
LA node is vSwap, or at least so it seems.
[root@fundamental ~]# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2048 133 1914 0 0 11 -/+ buffers/cache: 122 1925 Swap: 0 0 0Hasn't gone down yet since my last post. Set a Pingdom check on it so I can get an exact time if it does go down again.
My new vps is having cpu speed about 1,4GB, did anyone get higher?
It seems like they're giving us half cores but still 4 cores
I've got four blazing-fast cores:
Oh.. I forgot that you got that slow cpu.
Has it been increased?
I hate to defend here, but could this be Intel Idle State technology?
Essentially when the processor isn't being fully utilized, it shuts down parts of itself to save energy.
Just a guess, as it's odd to see fractions of CPU reporting unless it's in an idle state.
I've seen one or two of the cores in cpuinfo sometimes running at ~800MHz but I don't know.
There are a few idle states, in increments of around 400, so this seems to be Idle State technology.
If you spark up a UnixBench or anything requiring a good amount of CPU load and check /proc/cpuinfo then, it should be fully awake / running at Turbo Boost speed, if anything.
If not, something could be wrong with the CPU, but usually it's idle state technology.
Only if it doesn't register full speed under load is it something that requires more investigation.
Congratulations, you've found a way to kill your 830s in two months
and they close the ticket.
lol.. didn't amused the Support guys that you're watching an empty box going up, going down..
atleast host a testing subdomain redirected to LET
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....
mine on node 37 just went down
