WP Blog: Network Violation Resource Over-Utilization with Godaddy

  • I am running MySQL 4.1.24 WordPress 3.0.1, used for a blog site which I know both need to be updated.

    I have 4 questions stemming from an email I got from Godaddy hosting saying the following:

    “Our administrators have reviewed your hosting account and determined that while CPU and memory usage have improved, it is still considered too high for the shared hosting environment.”

    I spoke with Godaddy support and they said my problems are:

    1. We are get repeated traffic from untrusted spam sites. Does anyone know how to fix that?

    2. Our cron job is not working properly. We have the built in version, how can we fix it?

    3. We have too much content in our upload folder, much of it is duplicate images. Does anyone know how I can figure out which images I can delete without disrupting existing posts? When it says an image is Unattached does that mean that it is not being used and can be deleted without taking it down from the published blog post.

    4. Can someone provide a link that explains how to update MySQL from version 4.1.24 to 5.0?

  • I’ll take a stab at a few of these:
    1: I’d check your raw access logs and AWStats to see what IP addresses are accessing your site, the block those individually.
    2:What cron jobs are you running?
    3: Unattached only means it’s not inserted into a post or page, not that it’s not being used. But, this shouldn’t impact your CPU/RAM usage, only your webhosting size. One option, though, would be to offload those images to AmazonS3, there are a number of plugins that will do that for you.
    4:Not an expert on this, but if you’re in a shared hosting environment, GoDaddy should handle the upgrade, not you…?Maybe I’m wrong there.

    Good luck,
    Eric
