I get "503 Service Unavailable" error message on my website

It is possible your 503 error is caused by too many processes in your website. Generally, this is a temporary state.

HostMop has implemented a kernel level technology to ensure no single web site can bring down our web server because excessive resource usage.

Today, a single site can consume all CPU resources, IO resources or apache processes -- and bring the server to the halt.

This technology prevent that!

What do I need to do to prevent this issue?

Excessive resource usage usually happen because there is a unfinished-loop process which cause the script to run again and again without end. Accumulatively, it will cause excessive resource usage. You can prevent this by doing:

  1. Check and modify your script to optimise loading process.
  2. If not, your site is already too big to handle in a shared hosting account. You might want expand by using VPS hosting or dedicated server.

Remember, a good PHP script can loads in less than 3 seconds. If it loads more than that, then there is something wrong with your scripting.
