# crashes, resource usage, cpu usage

 * I have been having all sorts of issues with my sites crashing and getting errors
   like CPU usage/resources being used up since last fall.
 * I keep my plugins/themes updated. I have cache plugins installed on the advice
   of my webhost but I don’t even know if they are set right or if I am using them
   right. I moved from a shared to virtual server. I have 2 main sites hosted together
   and get about 400 visitors a day to each site. I have 2 other sites hosted too
   on the same server with only a 20 people a day or so.
 * I use WordPress for all 4 and Genesis/Magazine Theme for 2.
 * I am not a programmer/IT person and don’t know what the VHM server is doing or
   telling me or how to use/run it. My webhost guys do stuff when it crashes and
   have been helpful. I use a small hosting company called ez-web-hosting.com that
   I have used for over 12 years. I just am a WordPress user and have been using
   it for about 12 years without any issues like this. I don’t know what to do anymore…
 * My webhost people say it is plugin conflicts but I don’t know how to figure it
   out really. I have turned off various plugins but it still will eventually do
   something to crash or slow down etc.
 * I want to develop a new site using WordPress but am hesitant to do so before 
   figuring this out.
    Is WordPress getting too big for regular users? I don’t want
   to have to hire someone to manage all this as my sites are not making enough 
   money yet.
 * thanks for any insights

 * Hello.
 * I don’t see how plugin conflicts can bring your server to a halt.
 * What is your host telling you? Is your virtual server using up all the memory?
 * There are sites that receive easily hundreds of thousands of people per day and
   are working great.
 * WordPress isn’t the limit here!

 * my webhost says it is plugin conflicts.
 * It usually says cpu usage is maxed or when it crashes it just shows like one 
   line of text that says resources have reached their limit.
 * the webhost has increased all of my limits.
 * thanks
