This is why you should run your own vps or server. Take the hosting company out of the equation. I run a server with Server Intellect and never have to worry if my websites are going to be shut down because someone if hogging the resources of the CPU. I can also run any software including beta and never have to hear my host say “we cant install this because it will effect other customers”

Argh! Look like I have to contact my web host to ask them first before submitting my pages. Last month I got a surge of nearly 400 visits from StumbleUpon with only WP-Cache (not super cache) on but the server was still OK. Scary! Binh's last blog post..5 Free New Year WordPress Themes 2008

Makes me laugh how a simple Blog consisting of one SQL database can be such a stress on cpu or server in general especially when using fine php system like wordpress. Overloading would have to be like few hundred people reading, or loading complex script on the blog at the same time, trust me, I KNOW! I have fleet of servers. Hostgator absolute rubbish.
