Well, sorry for the problem today, but our new host seems that NOOL is taking too much juice out of their server so they asked me to change things.

Apparently, it didn't do the job, I did change things around, they suspended my account the whole day...

Of course, now that I ordered a new host, they put me back online.. I'm getting used to this, murphy's law again ;)

Anyways, I think we'll have to switch host (again), but this time I think WenOrder found a nice spot, and if we use too much resource, we can have a dedicated server for a very good price.

So stay tuned.. if the site is still up!

Well, it's the second time that withing an hour of ordering a new hosting package, the old site goes back up... so I'm getting used to this :shrug:

We won't have choice to have our own server someday, the site is seriously too popular, and it seems ASP.NET applications are cpu eating devices.. can't do much about it, but we'll eventually find a stable way to have it working!

Hunt around for a snippet of code for page cacheing as a lot of the site is pretty static. The front page for example (which i imagine is hit a lot) only need re-creating once a day or when news changes, same for media pages etc.

Can have a great effect, i've done it in my PHP CMS system and it saves a lot of CPU time (also of course quicker for the users).

Problem is more or less memory use I was told... so putting in cache increases memory... :(

noooooo cache to disk, not memory :)

still infintately faster than doing processing. and you'll save loads of memory because you won't be initialising db connections etc.

In my homebrew CMS I use the URL rewriter to move from a URI like /someModule/someMethod?id=x to a central dispatcher function via an internal rewrite to /cms.php?module=someModule&method=someMethod&id=x then i can basically build a filename that looks like _module_method_id and check if it's there. if so, return the contents, if not begin capturing the output, run the module-method (which does all the db work), then save the returned output to the original filename.

i use the cache lite PHP package to do the cachy part: http://pear.php.net/package/Cache\_Lite . should be easy enought to convert to ASP.

on a different note my book on coldfusion finally turned up today - i've been offered causual work writing s/w for this. They can shove it up their ass. I'd rather program web pages in Forth. total toss.

If the backends written by Microsoft, of course its going to eat RAM. And CPU power. And eventually, eat your data as well

It's about time someone puts an axe into this bad excuse for a website.
