[Forum] Screen shot of a server error message

[Okuma Steve]

I've been getting this a lot on my forum. I'm a novice when it comes to this stuff. My forum is hosted with godaddy. It happens maybe 1 out of 30 times I load a page on the site.

Any ideas on what is causing it and how I can fix it?

Have you contacted godaddy and asked them about it?

Im guessing you are on a shared hosting plan with GoDaddy? I have had the same issue for month, now that I am on Grid with a new server I have no problems

Yes, I am on a shared server. How involved is it to move a vbulletin forum to a new hosting company? And how much downtime should I expect?

I'm very new to all this, would I be able to run a virtual dedicated server by myself? I have virtually no experience with linux.

is that reseller or personal hosting?

There is resource limitation if you are using on reseller hosting, try upgrade your hosting package.

Download all your files to your PC.
Download(export) your database to your PC.

Change your nameservers to your new host.
Upload all your files to the new place.
Create a database and import your saved file from your PC.

Some of your users might be able to use your forum in a few hours,for some of them it could take upto 72 hours.

I had economy hosting but I upgraded to the next tier when the server problem started. I think it called deluxe, its $6.xx a month.

If you look at what I'm using compared to what I am paying for, I'm only using a small percentage, maybe 5%.

I guess my problem is I need dedicated resources instead of shared? For a novice such as myself would a dedicated server be practical or is it just overkill?

I just started Google analytics and in the last 48 hours I had 92,000 page views. My forum is only two months old, if it keeps growing at this rate is godaddy even a viable option?

Thanks for all the help.
