I noticed that when my VPS got really fragmented performance went to . I feel your pain. I wish HMS would have the VPS units setup with bare bones services ( just enough to boot ), then let us enable what we need. Your setup sounds similar to mind except I am using .NET and not CF. The biggest issue I have found is trying to uninstall SQL server. As it always seems to leave garbage behind. Also if you are using .NET at all ( for smartermail / smarterstats ) I would recommend setting your App Pools to recycle every few hours if memory is getting tight.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="spacerow"><img src="./templates/Morpheus/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="center" valign="top" class="row"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>smnbin</b></span></td> <td class="row" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/Morpheus/images/gray/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="genmed">Posted: Mon May 19, 2008 2:19 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Jason, <br /> <br />Thanks.

But when we did have a VPS, a few steps that stabilized it are the following: <br /> <br />Disable all unnecessary services - We found there were alot of services running that shouldn't be such as the Print Spooler, and Windows Image Acquisition. - Not sure why HMS would even have these enabled to start with. Use your judgment on what to disable. There are alot of website resources relating to this. <br /> <br />We had our VPS set to automatically restart every 3 days at like 2am. We found a big improvement in stabilization after this. <br /> <br />Since you're on the VPS+ package, which is what we were on, make sure your websites, sql databases, mysql databases, SmarterMail domains are all on the d drive, and make sure all logs files such as IIS logs, sql server logs, and smaterstats and smartermail logs are on the E drive. <br /> <br />I think trying these little things will give you an improvement, but try at your own risk. They worked for us, but may have a different result for you.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="spacerow"><img src="./templates/Morpheus/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="center" valign="top" class="row"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>smnbin</b></span></td> <td class="row" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/Morpheus/images/gray/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="genmed">Posted: Mon May 19, 2008 12:17 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Releasing VPS Resources</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Hello, <br /> <br />I have a Coldfusion VPS+ package with about 40 small/medium sized websites on it. <br /> <br />My VPS also has the MySQL, SmarterMail and SmarterStats installed on it. <br /> <br />I'm not planning on adding any additional websites to my VPS, but I have found that most of the server resources are now taken up and I am getting occasional issues with email and Coldfusion tripping out.
