Im running a VPS with Windows 2008r2 DataCenter, 1 CPU and 2GB RAM.
At apparently random intervals the server becomes unresponsive in that I cant access certain websites it hosts - yet others seem to work. I also cant RDP in to the box, nor can I interact with it via the providers VPS Management console.
I have to get them to reboot it for me so that it becomes operational again.
The server is running a Developer edition of SQL2012(sp1), latest MySQL, a wordpress site via IIS(which becomes unresponsive), a .Net site(which seems to work), a simple php site and a mail server(SmarterMail by SmarterTools).
Typically it is using about 1.8GB of RAM and about 20-40% CPU load.
Ive asked my providers about this and they say they want paying $100ph to investigate regardless of whos fault it is.
So, what can I do from my end of things to try and find out as much as possible about the source of the issue? Please bare in mind that this is the first server Ive had, so whilst Im really keen to learn how to do things properly, I'd really appreciate pointers and help going in the right direction....
Thanks.
