I'm trying to create an adult dating website, and I've tested the files (PHP + MySQL) on both hosts and for some coincidental reason I always have in my cPanel Service Status page the 'Server Load' and 'Memory Load' in the red. :\

Is it me thats causing this? And any tips on how to not use so much, if it is me?

Unless you've got an infinite loop somewhere I very much doubt you alone could be doing this to a shared server ;)

Shared servers aren't exactly known for keeping the server load low. What kind of stuff are you running? Just database queries and PHP or streaming video/audio services?

EDIT | What do your scripts do to your testing machine? Resource hogging or all ok?

Well I cannot find a loop anywheres. The site is practically, yeah, just running a load of queries (on every page) and holding a sessional value. No streaming as of yet.

They work fine on my testing machine.

Sounds more like the host has too many users setup on that box to me.. wouldn't hurt to see if the server load wen't down if you took your site down for "maintenance" to see if it is affected.

Well the site ain't launched yet. Only me that trolls it - to make sure everything is working. Taking it off doesn't affect it.
