I'm so lost right now. I'm signed up with a shared web host, and for the past few days my sites have been fluctuating.
It's a shared host with 35/35 entry processes constantly maxed.
This started happening out of nowhere and my host is useless in helping me see which page/site is getting hammered.
I'm on cPanel and I looked at the visitors log and concurrent CPU usage logs.
I saw this process over and over in the CPU process logs whenever it crashes:
PID CMD CPU MEM
3596168 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 899
3596176 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 899
3631149 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 906
3642433 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 917
3669402 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 870
3669403 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 870
3669412 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 870
3671644 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 880
3671645 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 880
3672846 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start 0% 871
Am I looking in the right place? What else should I check? The downtime is really a nightmare and I can't sleep.
I have very limited technical knowledge and I'm on the brink of quitting my current host and signing up with another who have a "professional" DDoS firewall (and paying for it) just to get some help.
