Cpanel suggestion

[ziad87]

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post this.

 

You should add the uptime and load updating gifs to the stats or something. That way you know that you aren't causing crazy server load. And you only need the ones for your server.

Also make different versions for different cpanel styles (I personally like to use Dark)

 

If you don't know what I'm talking about here is an explanation :

 

→ Cpanel

By the way, how can you make an animated gif for number of visits?

 Since when could server load be over 100% ?

Also haven't you noticed. The Tommy server seems to be getting slightly unstable over the last month (this is not a complaint im just asking why). Before the gifs actually said Tommy's uptime : 100.00%

Unlike on Windows, the server load on Linux isn't a percentage.

 

It's actual an indication of much resources are being asked, compared against on how much the server actual can handle.

For a better explanation, you can read this: http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages

Ah ok. I'm more of a Windows Server person...

Same here.

 

First time I saw loads that high I asked the same question

Yeah, on Linux load is measured in an unknown thing. It doesn't have a value as such, so no percentage or something per second.

Here is a link Krydos showed me when I asked the question: http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-08-08/linux-load-averages.html

Well, the last few months Tommy has been donor only. I set the suspension threshold kind of high because people are not going to be happy if they donate and then their account gets suspended.

Oh, ok. I didn't really care about registrations since I registered at 2:00 AM (literally right as it striked) while free registrations were still open.

Now you have the new NAS, that is meant for Lily and Tommy (what's its name?) so you will open free registrations and lower the suspension threshold, right?

 

Also, do you plan on adding "Your load and MEM usage" to cpanel? (there is no time frame, just do it when you  can, or when you have nothing to do)

Haha, that is most likely never but I'm sure he'll implement it if he feels it is necessary, he does a lot behind the scenes.

 

And the storage won't be included for some time. As far as I'm aware Ashoat hasn't got a trip planned to the servers yet.

To be honest, we don't show individual load sort of on purpose. Part of that is because there's no way to provide a meaningful number because high load is "high relative to other users", not "high relative to idle". For example, if the server happens to be rather quiet, your account can cause quite a bit of load without anything happening. If the server's busy though....

 

The other issue is that if users know where their upper limit is, they'll stay right below it, hogging as much as they can without getting suspended. By moving the limits dynamically and not telling you where they are, it makes it close to impossible to defeat. The limits are high enough though that reasonable software will run just fine. I've been here 7 years with numerous applications and sites on my account, and have never managed to suspend myself for load (on the other hand, I did manage to get suspended for malware at one point after an un-updated WP install for my minecraft server got hacked).

 

As for free registrations, yes we'll offer them again once we have the space to do so, and yes, it would be reasonable to assume that as the server becomes more crowded again from free accounts, the tolerance for load suspensions will probably be decreased to reduce load-related lag and downtime. They may or may not both happen at the same time though.

More details

Well, actually, I kinda meant CPU and MEM usage for the server that you're on, not on an individual basis. So if its showing numbers like 126.95 then you know its borked.
