Hello fellows, was a really bad day for me. My hosting suspended my account for best part of the day. Just few minutes back it came up. The reason being as usual ” High resources consumption”.

But I’m really dumb found after so many stumbles and social media traffic for last 2 months how could that possible happen(for god shack I’m on a cluster solution). According to the usage log it seemed that it was probably because of a spam attack, the wp-comments.php was totally getting off the charts hits. Apart from that i think a new plugin i used which was in beta could have done the damage.

Sorry for the down time! Was Own3d by the webhost

It took some time to get the site up. The first support guy in the morning, no matter what i tried, couldn’t pursue him to let me fix the problem. I tried putting up support tickets, it was no use thou most of the staffers where in weekend holidays maybe! (that’s what you call 24×7 support) after some 8hrs with no email and the support line down finally i got hooked up with a good person. He instantly gave me access to FTP, without delaying i deleted that plugin and fix the things. Wow the site was up in just few minutes. But he told he will monitor the cpu usage which i think is a necessary thing. Thanks mate really appreciate your help, the world needs people like you.

All’s well that ends well, isn’t it! But for the f#$king spammers they better learn maths because i have put a math spam protection plugin. Sorry fellows if some good guys get caught in between but its a necessary thing. Please bear with it. Would love some comments and experiences from your side.

PS: I have bought a VPS solution in-case the site bucket’s again.
