1. SERVER TIMEOUTS / DOWNTIMES

Symptoms include:

Inability to access your website; server timeouts occasionally; webpages not responding; page cannot be displayed errors; page not found errors and similar problems.

This is one of the most common problems in the webhosting industry.

Causes and Effects:

Sometimes, web servers don’t perform as they should due mainly to overcrowding or overselling of these servers. Others freeze up because the server hardware can’t handle the load anymore without an upgrade. As a result, the processes are too much to bear for the poor servers and they end up not responding. Normally, it occurs on shared server/hosting environment. Shared hosting means you are not the only one customer in that server and/or have no control over it.

It basically happens when the major server components
(like the CPU, memory and hard disks) fail, freeze or
malfunction because it can’t cope up with large
simultaneous tasks it processes at the same time.

When too many domains are hosted on the server
(overselling) and many are abusing the server resources at the same time, the core of the server system fails.

As the server stops operating, your websites and all the other sites on that server will not be displayed to your visitors. On and off… Up and down… This can happen several times in a day without you even noticing it at some point, yet it can ruin your website’s reputation.

Server downtime normally results to partial loss of websites and databases. It could also mean lost opportunities and business to the webmasters.

These downtimes are anticipated and expected by most webhosts, that’s why you’ll notice that most of them give you less than 100% uptime guarantee to make sure that their customers will not blame them later. This is also setting up expectations with their customers that their service is not error-free.

Solutions/Preventive Measures

• Go for those hosts with assured backup capability.

• Check your hosts reputation on webhosting forums like WebhostingTalk.com

• Stay away from those known webhosts that oversell their servers.

• Ask your host how they are handling downtime even before you sign up with them.

• Clarify with your host what their uptime guarantee means and how will you be informed or alerted in cases of scheduled downtimes. Uptime Guarantee explained here.

• Stay away from super cheap hosting offers to which the old adage applies, “what you pay is what you get”.

• Backup your websites and databases on your local computer and try to save them offline like on flash disks, CDs and DVDs.
