I don't like it!!!!!

What happened was that the service I was using was "migrated" to another service. Now we are getting these types of errors. I might have to switch yet again.

Haven't seen it yet. Though I had some problem reaching the site after the switch, like for two days, but I think that there was some extreme lag in the DNS propagation. I'm good now.

I got it earlier too, though like Perrow it has abated.  Glad to know it was shared by others and not a byproduct of something at work.

Not gotten it. But, I have not been on the site much this week. Others may be able to help better but contact me if you would like info for another hosting service. The one I use has been very reliable for 10+ years.

It seems if you have multiple windows open - you can get resource limit reached or other errors. Not good. Anyone here have a VPS account?

Post by: Jdansti on March 22, 2012, 10:18:26 PM
Just had it happen on my iPhone. The full message reads:

Resource Limit Is Reached
The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later.

I am by no means an expert on this, but based on a google search for this message, the provider has X clients per server and when a client's site is very active, the service curtails activity to avoid affectIng other clients. A good provider will move more active clients around to servers with fewer clients. An unscrupulous provider will try to get you to pay more for an upgraded service.

It depends. With a VPS, you have to buy a package that includes what you need. I imagine this site is like mine-- really CPU/disk intensive, but not a whole heck of a lot of bandwidth.  Unfortunately, most hosts don't make it easy, and sell on generic ram/disk space/bandwidth, which really doesn't help forum owners.

If this site has been running on shared hosting, and has been running as well as it seems to have been, you've been lucky. I was lucky with my site for about 8 years, and had a host who supported my cause, and gave me way more resources than I paid for. He vanished into the night, and I've been on VPS ever since. 8x the price, and a similar increase in complexity.

I would simply ask your host which resource limit you have hit. If they are unable to tell you, it is time for a new host. :)

The last host was very good - I stayed with them because quite simply, the guy running it was a genius. Now he is into farming (no kidding) and with the recent problems, I'm worried. I think I might want to try VPS.
Title: Re: RESOURCE LIMIT REACHED?????
Post by: amptramp on March 23, 2012, 10:35:51 AM
Ran into it again today.  It doesn't do that much damage - I am on other sites, so I refresh the page and if that doesn't clear it, I go to other sites and come back.  I wonder how many Commodore C-64's it would take to act as a server for this site? :icon_wink:

I sent you a PM about VPS.

When my last host went belly up, they took my data, and the data of 2,000+ customers with them. Luckily I had nightly, off-site backups, so I only lost about 8 hours of data. Still, it was a very unpleasant 48 hours.

FWIW, I just ran into another one (I've seen it about 5 times before in the past weeks) at 18:04 local time (Netherlands), so about 5 min. ago. Forced reload does nothing, a short while later the board is back up but very, very slow now.

I'm getting intermittent very-slow-loads. From many-seconds to several minutes. Fine at the moment, but a few hours back I gave up and surfed The Register instead.

I suspect your CPU is shared with hundreds of other sites. Most sites are low-traffic, but with spurts.

At another forum such an issue turned out to be another site on the same CPU doing some heavy background chores.

dualrack.com:
'Web proxy hosting accounts are currently limited to 40 concurrent processes. What are "concurrent processes" you may be wondering? This basically means the amount of pages that are being processed at one time. This feature was put into place to refrain accounts from consuming up too many shared server resources.
'If your proxy account has more than 40 pages being processed at any given time then visitors will receive a "Resource Limit Is Reached" error. Once the concurrent process limit goes below 40 this error will be automatically removed. Proxy accounts with traffic that uses more than 40 concurrent processes on a normal basis are recommended to purchase a VPS hosting account instead.'

www.ubbcentral.com
'It is very common for shared hosting accounts to limit how many computer resources (CPU time and memory) a site uses. Otherwise a very active site could negatively impact other sites on the server.
'The big question is how restrictive are they being.
'An unscrupulous host will get REAL picky in an attempt to corral a site owner into a more expensive hosting plan, or even a dedicated server.
'Of course, I have no idea at all if MindRaven is being fair or not. However, the fact that you have noticed sites banging their head against a limit that seems not to of been there before is an indication that they changed something. We can only guess as to a motive.'

Alexa traffic rankings: 'Diystompboxes.com is ranked #227,538 in the world... Visitors to it view 3.0 unique pages each day on average,'

Seems like whatever changed last week also invoked lower limits. Options are to find a more liberal host or pay more for higher limits.

Yikes! That is pretty restrictive. I wonder what they consider a "page being processed" to be. Is it the execution of a script? Is it a database hit? Is it a simple HTTP request?

This posting page has 85 images on it. They are all requested at once. Add in style sheets and the actual HTML for the page, and it could be 100 concurrent requests just to load the page.

I repeat: yikes.

I've done some research and I am paying more than enough for "higher limits". I have written to the new support several times and while they are fast to respond, as you can see nothing has changed. I will be investigating new options. I need to keep a log of how many times we have switched providers! I think it's VPS time.

How ironic. So I put up a post saying that the conversion took place yesterday at 3pm and that everything after that would be gone when THIS server becomes active.

But the post was one of the casualties! Anyway, this is the first time I can see the new server. We have a lot more resources so lets see how it goes. Sorry about the last 12 hours.

WOW, this server is so fast on my end!!!!!

anywayz - new server - yay!
