MyBB Community Forums

Hi all i am having a problem with my forum and ca'nt seem to find out what is causing it .
I am running MyBB 1.6.3.
Plugins installed "None"
Host 000Webhost (Free)

Here is the problem i am having .When i click on my url, http://canadianwildfeeds.prairiewind.hostei.com/ I get this message through out the day , "The maximum server load limit has been reached. Please check back later once the server is less busy". Its a MyBB board Message , but does,nt show forums just that message . Or Sometime i just get this message " The server is too busy at the moment. Please reload this page few seconds later which is a message in my browser blank white page with message .

My forum is'nt overly busy as i may have maybe 20 visiters and maybe 2 registered users at most at one time. Tried optimizing database from users ACP and also checked Tables for errors in mybb and PHP Admin. Nothing seems to be working . I contacted host support and this is what they tell me this :
Hello,

If the server is busy (for example we setup a lot of new accounts at the same time), you may see this message briefly while server load returns to normal levels:

The server is too busy at the moment. Please reload this page few seconds later.

This message can be noticed on peak times only, and only for active servers (active servers are the servers where we add tons of new accounts every day). This message will permanently disappear as soon we will switch new account setups to another server (usually in few days).

I never ran into this problem before , its not only just during peak times but perty much all the time .

Here is my Debug Imformation:

Get a better host. Simple as that.

This is a problem of your host, not MyBB.

ACP>configuration >Server and Optimization Options


Set *NIX Load Limiting to 0 (disabling it)

000webhost is a terrible host. Your server load is nearly at 30, the server is being thrashed. There's nothing we can do about it and the only thing you can do about it is use a proper host.

Hi and thanks again for your support. I changed the settings to 0 and that did seem to help a little . It seems like the more calls that are made to the database , lets say 3 or so then i get the server is to busy message (the white browser page) . Maybe they overloaded the server i am using or something like that . I am going to submit another ticket to the Host and see if they can sort this out . Its kind of a pain because they always seem to blow you off with some other excuse , but what else can a guy do . I wonder if it would be any better on a paid Membership ,thats also an option i guess. I wouldnt loose all the seo work for the url thus changing to another host. I don't know , i will keep this thread open and let you all know what happens when they get back to me . Any suggestions for a new host lol ?. Just in case i decide to switch , in any event , i'll keep you informed.
Thanks
Lubrack.

A host outside 000webhost, completely, will be better, free or paid.

Anyways, you will lose all your SEO work if they close your account, better start friendly redirecting your site now that you can.

Also remember that 000webhost frequently take websites down for review with no notice, and they also frequently shut their servers down, leaving your forum unusable. They are not a good host.

Thanks Matt and everyone else, what is the norm for server load on a satisfactory server? , kinda dumb question but the truth is i really don't know .

Well, I'm on a free host, and my server load is 0.2
