VPS - Virtual Private Server? Has anyone experience of the overhead of using this? Also it will be in addition to the hosting cost for SQL Server database!
Hi
I have set up my own VPS server because of the problems of hosting nopCommerce on pile em high sell em cheap hosting companies, who will in some case tell you that memory is not the problem, but my experience is that these hosting companies will force the application pool to recycle when it hit's the memory limit they have deemed to be the maximum for the efficiency of there server which seems to be set around an average of 200Mb, the other problem is that they will set the server up to kick the application out of memory by regularly recycling the application pool , so the first time access can be very slow a lot of the time on sites that are not so busy.
On my own VPS I recycle the application pool 1 time every 24hours just to ensure it is flushed out, and allocate sufficient memory to nopCommece to function properly.
