I have enabled the WP-Cache plugin for vmetc and have not had an issue withCPU utilization since. I'm still with the same provider, so I hope this continues, but all good for now!

[...] After discovering I was borderline too big for my shared hosting provider, I’ve had a few requests for VM /ETC statistics recently. I’ve also noticed a few of my favorite virtualization sites posting their stats so I thought I would post mine too. I sincerely want to thank everyone for reading, commenting and subscribing to vmetc.com. The success of this blog has honestly been surprising to me. [...]

BTW – your ISP are dicks for the way they are handling this.

I host my blog on the rack in my basement. This week I’m also doubling my bandwidth from 5Mbps down/512Kbps up to 10Mbps down/1Mbps up. For hosting, the upload is the key figure because that’s the pipe people on the internet are utilizing to read my blog. I’m using WordPress blog caching to serve static pages which cuts down PHP hammering on the CPU although I wasn’t having issues to begin with. I did this as a preventative measure.

I’d be interested to see what your web stats are Rich. I use WordPress with 10 or so plugins and my server CPUs aren’t stressing out. The same server is also running MS SQL Server, MySQL Server, Symantec Backup Exec, VMware Server 2.0 w/ 3 VMs, PHP, PERL, and Vizioncore vRanger PRO. Is CPU truely your issue or is it bandwidth also?

I’d be happy to help you out with the hosting but I’m afraid of what you’d do to my servers if you’re already burying your ISP web servers. But on the other hand, maybe I’m giving them too much credit for their setup. I’d still like to hear some performance numbers.

I woudn’t call my self a linux pro, but to do any execution, you would need SSH / Console access.

In fact, I am suprised they woudn’t give you SSH access if your using it for wordpress.

I was not able to set wordpress up on my linux box, ( SLES ) without some admin / root access.
