• Since upgrading to WordPress 2.5.1 (via Cpanel) I’ve had major memory issues. My site keeps returning 500 Internal Server errors. My hosting provider tells me that my site is using more than 16megs a time for the index and other pages. I can’t think why! I’ve checked all my plugins and still no luck. I was running a static page, but have gone back to showing the recent posts again… I’m not sure why it would suddenly run up so much memory.. here is a snapshot of my resource file…

  • Helloooooooo? Any help? The issue is getting really, really frustrating. Would changing webhosts (someone like HostGator?) would work? Or it wouldn’t matter.

    I just got notified by my host of this same issue – too high cpu usage :

    Im with dreamhost. And I get about 4k hits a day. Running WP 2.7 with maybe 4 plugins. and I keep getting error 500’s and they are telling my site is at 99% resource usage.

    I need a new host. What suggestions are there out there. Im temporarily moving to godaddy. but reading here on the forums it sounds i may have the same issues.
