503 Error

[hakkuo23]

How can I remove this error since you guys don't offer a better plan for webhosting. Is there any other company that offers more resources without going to a VPS since I'm not a fan of that xD

Hi,

What exactly are you referring to? If I remember correctly 503 error is when to many people or connections are attempting to visit/connect to your site at once.

Is this your problem?

I use a VPS and I love it for web hosting.

Anyways, a 503 error doesn't sound like a resource issue, but more like something like this: http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E503.html

I had the NFo base web hosting package and it worked well.

If the error talks about hitting capacity, then you're probably running into your concurrent user limit. This is extremely hard to do under normal circumstances, so that situation would likely indicate that one of your scripts is buggy and taking too long to process. If it takes 2s to process a broken script that should normally take 0.1s to process, for instance, you immediately go from being able to handle 2000 page loads per second to only 100, under the 200-connection top plan (assuming an even usage distribution).

One way that I've seen scripts randomly take too much time to execute is when they have been dependent on flaky external services, such as the Coral CDN. Another is when the script queries something with every page load, such as a game server or voice server, instead of caching the result -- if the server goes down, it might hang while waiting for a response.
