I don't need the money. I'll upgrade when the server loads start looking dodgy during peak hours. At the moment, bottlenecks only occur during backups and repair routines.

What are u talking about? Accessing sammyboy these days is like playing Russian Roulette. You never know whether you will get an error message.

Sam lookout for cloud host for your next change. It can burst increase RAM & CPU dynamically. And cloud hosts are now beginning to charge by GB/hr at cents level. That means when you peak it say during GE or during backup time you double you RAM & CPU and you drop back to normal to save cost once your peak demand is dropped.

That means you only pay for what you use as you need and only as you need. Quite Economical.

Means if you donate then uncle Sam maybe able to upgrade his server, then you won't see the error anymore loh.

Keep on getting database error more often these days. Thanks to Cooleo and Ivebert

Sam always say monitoring, but end up no upgrade. Beginning to sound like the boy who cried wolf.

Here is the cause of it.

​

LOIC performs a denial-of-service (DoS) attack (or when used by multiple individuals, a DDoS attack) on a target site by flooding the server with TCP packets, UDP packets, or HTTP requests with the intention of disrupting the service of a particular host. People have used LOIC to join voluntary botnets.

That's not true. The last upgrade was less than a couple of months ago when I doubled the RAM to handle the election crowds. However, the larger the database gets, the more grunt the server needs to process the queries. At some point, I'll need to go to a faster server.
