draco VPS control panel not responding, AGAIN

[knoxhosting.com]

This is like the 4th or 5th time. The panel loads, but when you click on any of the menu options, they never load, even after 10 minutes.

All my sites are responding like CRAP, ftp connections disconnect randomly, and the server is timing out like crazy. I can't even SSH into the damn thing to see what's going on.

This has GOT to change, I can't put up with it anymore. This VPS has been a performance nightmare after the first week I started paying for it.

PLEASE FIX DRACO PERMANANTLY!!!

Can I ask what you use your server for please?

I too am on Draco, my sites are faster and more reliable than on any other server I have been on, and if my sites should be even faster than they are I would love to know how and where (Mainly forum software but also a few photo galleries)

I have had a couple of isolated incidents, one where emergency maintenance was going on, and the other where I believe someone was abusing the server (according to support), but other than that I have had a trouble free month.

ps I am kind of scared they are going to change things on Draco, because so far its everything I could have hoped for, unless my expectations are too low?

I've been with jagpc since september 2003, and being transferred to draco was the worst thing that happened to my site.

My site performed better in gigadeal and semi-dedicated

VPS was a wrong move for me, VPS is still shared hosting IMHO. No matter what guaranteed CPU or burstable RAM, you're site's performance will still suffer from other resource hog users in the VPS.

Got tired of draco and got a dedicated server (not from JagPC)

Problem solved
