[quote]Unfortunately I cannot provide you with a numerical value, only percentage of total "allocation".
It appears to have dropped to 247% now which is still above the allowed 100%.[/quote]

Of course they can't because they cram too many people on the same shared server, and the more there are, the more and more your allocation of resources drops. 

In simple terms 100% of available processor divided by 100 users = 1% allocation each - And that 1% is "your" 100% allowance - Need I say more?

GoDaddy did the same thing to the point where one would get error messages "The server is busy - Please try again later", and even if you got on, you were battling to hold the server against time-outs.

One IT Reporter wrote a "scathing" report on GoDaddy at the time, and I don't know if it ever improved, because I had been long gone from there and never went back.

Spending more money with them will fix all of your problems - depends on as a NFPO how much you want to donate to an ISP just to run a forum.

Putting Icy Phoenix v2* on your current plan IMHO is not going to fix your problem, it may use slightly less resources, but it certainly ain't no magic bullet. :(

Also my friend, I've been here a long time since Icy Phoenix was v1*17 and not always as Mort[i] (Long Story)[/i] and I drew a line under v2, when it became the next "Official" release because it's time I was less involved here, and that's why you don't see me answering any questions about installing or upgrading it. But there are others here who will certainly help if you were to start a new thread on anything you get stuck with.

I don't even have a running copy of it any more to be honest. :(

[quote]thanks for all the help.[/quote]

You're welcome, it's been a nice diversion from something else I was spending far too much time on.

And for the benefit of others who may read this thread.

Some people think that their domain name is attached to their ISP and is part of the whole hosting package.

It's not, it's yours - and irrespective of whether you have an hosting account or NOT, you must always be given access to the domain name to manage it - To lock/unlock it, park it,  transfer it to another registrar, auto or manually renew it and more importantly point it to any server that you have opened an account with - even point it to GoDaddy [b][i](Perish the bloody thought) [/i][/b] :lol:
