Today(or yesterday now), I spent like 10 hours trying to figure out why my web server kept going down.
Well, I did upgrade to Lighttpd couple months back, which is much better web server than Apache. (YouTube runs on Lighttpd btw.)

For the last couple months, I have been playing around with a lot of different web servers. Because my web servers kept going down, I had to find a new solution to help minimize my on-growing web server hosting costs.
About 2 years ago, one of the tech support guys at the dedicated server hosting company told me there’s a lighter web server called “Lighttpd”.

Well, I have been manually managing the dedicated server for this site for last 2 years or so but I found a better way to automate the server so it doesn’t ever go down due to overload.
One of the common problems in dedicated servers is the fact that load can go out of control and your web server along with it, causing you to hard-restart the server.
A better way to deal with this over-load problem is to shut down the HTTPD server (web server) before your server
I remember first hearing about Linus Travolds back in the early 90s and I thought Linux was going to be a hit in year 2000.
Well, it turns out I was right, just about 10 years early. You have to admit, Linux is really taking over the world right now with web servers (including this one) and Eee PCs and other laptops that come loaded with Linux.
