Thread: High Use CPU Hostgator

High Use CPU Hostgator

Yesterday, Hostgator take all my websites down due a High Use of CPU. They say that it's a script that caused all this but they do not say which one.

I have websites with Vantage, Classipress, Jobroller and Clipper.

I updated to wordprees 3.8, udated all the plugins and remove some. I installed wp-optimize to reduce chunk in mysql databases.

My websites have only +- 100 visits / day and only one website have +- 400 / day but it's a very basic wordpress instalation with a simple template.

Now I only have access to the files in the server.

What should I do?

Thanks

Tell to your hoster what you have done so far and ask again to let you know which script is causing this. They should be more cooperative and help you to solve that problem.

All websites Up Again! Well done Hostgator. With the actions I took, it seems that the problem went away, for now.

But they alert me if the high use cpu comes again they take action . . .

I read that we can block bad bots with htaccess. Is here some htaccess Guru that knows how to do it?

Thanks
