Server went offline briefly in case anyone had problems.  It was rectifed fairly swiftly though which bodes well.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

Server load just spiked.  It's probably either routine scripts running or someone with another account is doing so extensive maintenance.  Our server uses 12 cpus these days so these incidents should be rare.

I am monitoring it and it is still a bit high (server load that is). If it persists I'll have it looked into so if anyone experiences it later on, please report it here. Thanks.

My connection has been slow everywhere today. I thought maybe it was Cyber Monday shopping issue related :D

We've had a tube strike here in London and today was nicknamed "stay at home Monday". That no doubt made it slower locally, and I would guess that a lot of the rest of the country stayed at home due to the February weather we have had of late.

The server we reside on is the nuts nowadays and we will still get slow when other accounts are doing their maintenance thing, but our load rarely goes above 1 and I am hosting about 8 sites myself.  That said, gremlins know no honour..

No problem for me at all.

I pop up randomly and every time site works.
i'm waiting for someone to start an antisocial networking site.

It's been really slow this afternoon, but seems to have picked up a bit of pace now.

Yes I experienced the slowing down and saw that the server was performing well though.  I reported it and there does seem to be a glitch somewhere that "senior admins" are investigating and it appears to be do to with the datacenter.

We should never have some of the load issues we have had in the past as the tech we reside on has greatly improved, but these gremlins may stretch their legs from time to time.
