Hey guys,
I'm certainly no web expert (feel free to move this thread if in the wrong location, but I couldn't find a better one) but this has me pretty annoyed.
I woke up this morning to continue work on my website which was working perfectly fine the night before. I contact live support for Domains for Less which are always very responsive and easy to deal with.
I ask why I'm getting "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" and he says "Oh you're using to much resources, stop doing that". He gives me a large list of pretty obvious things to do, like optimize databases, remove high resolution images and a bunch of other things. I told him there is nothing on there except a factory Wordpress installation and basic theme I was uploading the night before.
He says, "Just wait a few hours, it will go back to normal". I get a screenshot that shows my CPU and memory usage briefly spiked up to 92% (according to him).
I'm assuming this was me uploading stuff via FTP. But that does not seem to me like it's anything out of step with what normal people use their service for, is it? How am I supposed to know this service is going to be reliable when I'm exceeding resource limits on a basic Wordpress install? They have an option to install wordpress, so it's not like I'm using the service outside of what is advertised so far.
What's more, the graph seems to indicate that resource usage returned to normal fairly quickly, unless I'm reading it wrong.
I hate instructions to "wait and see what happens". Because it often does not fix anything and I get told the same thing 24 hours later.
