Hi everyone i normally don't post up my problems because i can normally fix them myself or figure it out! but recently (approx 4 days ago) i have been getting 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error on and off sometimes the site is functioning perfectly and sometimes i try and open it and its completely dead i get a 503 error message and thats about all.
I was wondering if this can be caused because someone is DDosing my site? i am pretty sure its not the host because there are few other sites on same host and they are running perfectly. Since the site has been opened Dec 08 early January i have not had any trouble in fact the site has never once been down (only when we close it down via vBulletin options because of updates etc...).
The site has been coming online for a few hours then i try and access it and it gets me the 503 error. I was searching on Google and some sites suggested over flow of site traffic causes 503 errors but in the past iv been getting up to 300 guests online continuously (thanks to Katz and Phazeddl) and the site runs super smooth.
Anyway if someone could point me into the right direction it would be much appreciated.
