High Load
When you hit the ceiling of a given resource, be it RAM, CPU usage, or high I/O usage, your server's load average will increase, and processes will begin to queue up.
You might observe delays in accessing SSH or Virtual KVM/IP (VNC). Even the simplest commands may take a tad longer to execute, and web pages may be slower to load (or might not load at all).
For those with a Fully Managed Service, we are likely already on the case, investigating the situation. However, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
For those using an unmanaged service, you still have access to the best-effort support included in your package. We might be able to steer you in the right direction by offering guidelines to help you resolve the issue.
Unmanaged servers are typically suitable for system administrators, teams, or companies with their own IT departments who are proficient in managing their own systems. It's also an ideal choice for those seeking to learn, those who want to experiment, or those whose projects are purely hobby-based.
