I just had to order a VPS for SilvAdopts. We have over 10,000 members and the server can't handle the load. I know nothing about this. Does it work like a normal server?

Well a VPS usually is much better than a shared server. It has better speed and disk storage, and webhosts offer much better customer support for obvious reason.

Can you help me? I'm having trouble with changing my nameservers.... this is all so confusing :(

I would think the host would be doing everything they could to get your site transferred. I mean your now a pretty big customer. congrats.

Edit: what do you mean the server can't handle the load? Are you running out of bandwidth? Or are you actually running out of CPU and RAM? There is a big difference you may not need a vps or dedicated server.

Here's the email I got before I switched to VPS.

Your account has been found using an excessive amount of CPU and disk I/O via MySQL. Here is your usage over the past several days:

This usage is more than double the next closest user on the server. There are some systems where the most abusive user would not use this much resources in a months time. You're going to need to make your account more efficient. Here is sample mysql process list:

You are going to need to reduce this usage or look towards a VPS as this sort of usage does not belong in a shared web hosting environment.

The site is switched... I'm having issues with the name servers... when I try to switch the old name server is says

Quote:

{ns2=NameServer ns2.silvadopts.com is not a valid Nameserver, ns1=NameServer ns1.silvadopts.com is not a valid Nameserver}

not sure if I'm doing something wrong....

Well usually your vps comes with two nameserver ips, you need to assign the ips to your domain.

Where do I find those?

umm the two nameserver ips should be emailed to you by your vps provider upon registration. If you dont have them, consult your webhost for this information since they should be readily available to any vps users. Assume you have your nameserver ips, you can go to cpanel to set up nameservers. If your vps provider does not host domains, you will need to log in to the portal page of your domain provider and set up nameserver there.

Ok I think I found them (Assigned them) but nothing happened. When I edit the site through the VPS cpanel it doesn't change the site.

Well it usually needs a few hours for the changes to take effect. I was wondering though, your webhost should provides detailed instructions on how to set up nameserver ips.
