Alright well I bought my copy of vb about a month ago. Everything is tip-top smooth. Just want to make sure of one thing. Maybe about 2-3 times a day I will get a error email from the vb system. This error is always the same, and always from users trying to download attachments. Usually, the 2-3 times I get these emails a day, it is all from the same user trying to download the same attachment probably in the same small period of time. I have searched this forum and read much about this problem and I have come to the conclusion that this problem results simply from nothing more then my server being a "Shared server". My server loads I noticed tend to bounce around a lot due to this. While in my admin panel, I have seen server loads as high as 23. Its weird too, I know becuase its shared weird server loads happen. But it seems like its very random. Server loads can be like less then 3 with hundreds of people on. But at times with only 5-10 people it can be as high as 15. This makes sense since probably my host has many people jammed on one shared server.
Anyways I just want someone to tell me what I can do or if this indeed the problem at hand. I talked to my host already and they said that yes even though server loads will seem high. The server is always fast. They assured me that. And also that even though the server load numbers were high at times, that it does not always mean its a bad thing. etc etc.
here is what the email looks like taht I always get. Its ALWAYS the same email.
