Server Resource Concerns
The responsiveness of our the sites on our VPS has been steadily declining over the past few months even though our resource usage has remained steady. I've notified our host (VPSLink) who have been able to temporarily fix the problems. After the responsiveness dropped again over the Christmas period I notified them again and they've moved us onto a new physical server with less clients on it. This should alleviate the problem for a while, but I fear it's a trend that stems from the fact that VPSlink don't offer a guarantee of maximum clients per physical server, or minimum available MHz of CPU capacity. I'm currently researching other VPS hosts who do offer guarantees on those aspects which should give a more consistent level of performance.
