Forum Lag

Hi! Why my forum lags? Is this hosting powerful?

If you're on Johnny, that's normal. Johnny server is not very fast and can also be unstable at times. Johnny is meant for testing/experimentation. We allow unlimited registration on that server, but this also makes it prone to overloading and being abused.

 

Notice the load and response times of Johnny vs. Tommy on this chart: http://heliohost.grd.net.pl/monitor/ Johnny has suffered 3 different high load events today.

 

If you need fast and reliable service, you should sign up on Tommy instead. Tommy doesn't typically see such events because we limit the number of users that register per day, limit the number of load-inducing features available (ASP.NET is request only, no Rails support) and more tightly control how many resources can be used before accounts get suspended. The server is also significantly more powerful (Tommy runs on much newer hardware than Johnny).

Hi!

 

I saw, that Tommy server is full.

Tommy registration opens at midnight UTC every night and fills quickly for the day.

 

If you do not wish to wait, you can donate $1 or more and get an invitation email that works even when the server is full. https://heliohost.org/donate/
