Happy April Fool day! , and Hosting Migration

Have you been fooled today? ;) I was busy migrating my reseller hosting account (I am a hidden unknown hosting reseller) to another web hosting provider. The account migration was smooth. Domain name’s nameservers update was easy, although time consuming (update one by one by hands).

Everything looks good until I received an email from my new hosting provider with subject “Attention on liewcf.com”. My popular LiewCF Tech Blog is taking over 20% of system resources of the web server.

Wow! I never know my site is so resources hungry!

I was suggested to install WP-Cache and CSS Compress WordPress plugins to reduce the server load. At the server side, they were able to tweaked Apache, MySQL and PHP to cut down 50% server load. That’s impressive! The web server load is back to normal now. :)

My two cents

I am not sure how much the two plugins had helped to reduce server load, but I will keep them running. For your information, LiewCF Tech Blog is now taking up more than 1GB around 4GB bandwidth per day. I have prepared to move to a dedicated server hosting later for the first time. :)

Update: The daily bandwidth usage should be around 4GB/day. The total bandwidth used in March 2007 was over 119GB!
