VDS Shuts Down (Crash?)

[KraaZe]

My VDS constantly shuts down after a certain amount of time, earlier today it was 30 mins, now it took 6 hours...

I've been told by support to post here, but I'm almost positive it's a hardware failure...

I run a minecraft server, Apache and MySQL server.

For something like this, you would want to submit a support request, so we can take a look at your actual account.

I do apologize here, as I handled your request and was under the impression the apache and minecraft were crashing.

I will go back to your request and make sure we get it over to Edge100x. And once again my apologies for the misunderstanding.

OOM (Out of Memory) events are the most common cause of VDS crashes. Since you're running a Minecraft server, I strongly suspect that you are allocating it too much RAM. Try dropping down the amount that you allocate to Java when executing the Minecraft jar by 500 MB or a GB, and see if the crashing stops.

If you don't have it already, I would suggest installing the plugin PTweaks.

Our minecraft had constant java errors, mostly when the kids set off large explosions or created massive bulk formations. This plugin has eliminated all errors and these 2 events above now run smooth and quickly.
