I have an account on server33 where I set up a MediaWiki site this weekend. The MediaWiki uses MySQL.

What I experience, and this is confirmed by other users too, is that it runs terribly slow. There does not seem to be any similar problems with loading regular HTML/PHP pages without database, so I suspect something with MySQL. Are anyone else having similar experiences?

Edit: Spelling, URL

Oh, yes. And another thing: Sometimes the entire mysql server appears to be down (like now). When I try to access the site I get only error messages, while cpanel claims that I have no mysql databases defined

Then, a bit later, it is back up working. What is going on?

dont worry Havard, I have spoken to support as I am on the same server as you. They have fixed the issue and it shouldnt happen again.

nturton, thanks for the explanation. Though we can't guarantee that the problem won't repeat. But we'll surely keep an eye on the server and especially its users.
As I already explained to one of the customers, the problem with mysql is connected with spam sending. We have suspended 2 accounts so far, which are suspected in spam sending.

The funny thing is this shouldn't happen in the first place, it's never happened where I'm hosting from. Which if you don't include the extra 6 months of hosting these guys billed me for it's been the same amount of time.

There shouldn't be downtimes like I see here.. I don't get it, do you guys have low expectations or what?

I'm lost in a sense of bewilderment.

Jack, I think this is not a proper way to leave. If you were billed incorrectly please continue this discussion with our billing department. Our company will return everything that was taken by chance, if it was really so.
