Hello,
I am running my service on a dedicated cloud vps from siteground and my server keeps crashing.
Originally I was on 1 core and 2 gb of ram and crashed at 20 online users. I upgraded to 3 cores and 2gb of ram and crashed at 50 users. I have since upgraded to 4 cores and 4gb of ram for €82/mo and I am now crashing at 75 users.
I spoke to siteground tech support and they told me that easysocial and cometchat are making a lot of queries which is what is eventually causing the crash. I have since moved cometchat messaging to its own server. A friend of mine was able to have 160 users online with Joomsocial without any issues using 3 cores and 3gb of ram. I am anticipating upwards of 250 people this Sunday and I was wondering if there was anything you could do to help me minimize the amount of stress being caused by the easysocial component. I have modified my php.ini file to allow for more men usage and larger upload sizes but that only bumped me up to 100 users before a crash.
I have been told that 4 cores and 4gb of ram should be more than enough to support my features/community but apparently it is not. I am ready to upgrade again but the cost is getting really high and I would first like to ask you for any possible support as I am desperate.
Thanks.
