This post is to report the latest downtime the server faced.
The downtime was caused by a user using a shitty script on the server which he most likely wrote himself. Sadly, the fetching of the process list timed out before it could be emailed to me, so I dont know what script or what user caused it.
The crashed was caused by the server running out of all available memory. And the downtime totaled 3hrs and 50min (I was sleeping…).
So in the meantime I’m going to be trying to figure out how to prevent this from happening.
Note: if you’re a new user downtime like the does not happen often. You can check the detailed uptime stats if you dont believe me.
Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

I'm sure it was a one time incident or a very rare one. I'm using Vlexo for almost two weeks I think , and never had a downtime or slow loading speed of my site.
Keep up the good work.

Good news everyone!
After the first downtime I was pretty sure it was going to happen again. So I did some stuff so I would be sure to see what was causing it. It happened again, and needless to say I caught the account.
The downtime will stop now.

Doesn't setting resource limit help? I haven't used it, but it may be of some help in future.

I would suggest people should use xampp to test the script before testing it here. If your computer crashes then you want effect everyone else and that why you can fix the script before uploading it the vlexo server.
