[...] Remember whilst WordPress Plugins can be an exciting and useful addition to your site it is important not to use too many as this can cause CPU Overload which chews up bandwidth and loading speed, may cause your site to crash and in extreme cases may cause your site to be suspended by your Website Host.

Hi Jacob, thanks for your quick response.

I deleted most of my plugins, specially the ones you mentioned in your post. I’ll take things easy this time, and I’m gonna set up another blog to test “WP Cache”.

Thanks for the tips about “Database Backup”, Last Night after reading your post I saved up my whole site on both my HardDrive, and Flash Drive. 4 GB of files and folders, can’t you believe it? Thanks God I have FTP to do that for me, it took me the whole night still…

I’ll go ahead and install “WordPress Database Backup” instead, hopefully I can get some sleep after that. Keep your post coming! Thanks man:

Try using the plugin WP Cache. Other than that, I am not entirely sure. I would recommend upgrading.

Hello, This is my first time, thanks for this post. I had the same issue, matter of fact I still do have it. However, I always emailed my Host Provider, and they re-activated my account for me 3 times. Funny thing, they said they will do it for a last time, or else I’ll need to Upgrade my Service with them. It is a real pain though and very expensive to do. Bad thing, I install so many plugins on My Site as well. After reading your post, I’ll uninstall the ones that I don’t need, thanks for the tips! Anyway, my question to you: is there a way to clear my Website CPU cache or something? I hope I got your answer on time before my Website got suspended again. Thanks man…

Very interesting.

We could have a way to see how much resources our sites load, and which actions take most resources.

My host said they are more open to high loads as higher is the plan.

If you are having trouble getting on a restricted site at school, just log off of your profile and return to the page that will allow you to log back in. Then go to the box bello the password box and click the drop down arrow. Then select another system to log onto. Do not change your username or password. This will give you administrator access.

Thank you Syridian… would you mind letting me know what details were inaccurate?

By: Syridian

Being someone who works for a Hosting Provider I can say that you are not alone in having this happen to you. And you most certainly won’t be the last. Most hosting providers have easy access to their AUP or T&C Documents, and I would say that any hosting provider that doesn’t have a clause that says they can shutdown/ban your site if it’s causing issues on a shared server is opening them selves up to loose many customers. It’s a much better solution to “piss-off” one customer who’s site is causing an issue than to loose many because of that site causing an issue.

Whilst I found some of your explanations of details annoyingly not exactly accurate, and your article a little biased towards you being hard done by by your hosting provider (Which in a sense you were by their delayed response in getting back to you), I still found it provided enough information for Jo Public to understand what was going on, and at least be able to know where to start. Well Done.

Hey Jacob… WOW

I feel now that my email and hosting issues back in January, although extremely frustrating, were minor compared to what you went through.

Your research and the information you have shared here, without a doubt, will help many. You have brought up numerous things I am sure many bloggers have never considered, including myself.

Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly document this unfortunate situation and for sharing this information.

Hi Omega,
That shouldn’t be a problem changing domains, you just need to know the details (ie. name servers) which you should have on file or you can get by logging into your old hosts. That is all you need to change hosts and domains I believe. Good luck with it.

thank you Jacob for such a good post, i didn’t know that could happen, what a pain…good thing you resolved the problem! I am faced with a different problem now – i need to move the domain, but the owner of my hosting died and the domain expires in a couple of months.

Hi Dexter, Welcome to the blog, I always like getting new commenters, you will find this site very useful and you will make new friends if you comment regularly.
Regarding the 2nd blog, you would make the folder where you install your new wordpress theme blocked by search engines by editing your robots.txt file. Give it a quick google.
What experience did you have in December?
