Server problems?

[HertsFinest]

Getting increasingly common DNS or cache failures. Particularly early morning?

What sort of time are you getting them?

 

[SM]

I had issues about 7 am through til just before 9

Same as @SM this morning. It happens maybe twice a week some weeks. Not always for that long though. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes couple of hours

Therell be a slowdown at midnight every day as this is when my daily back up runs, another slowdown around 4pm to run another back up. This mornings downtime was due to a process running on the server which hogged all of the resources and killed it! Managed to kill the process and get the server running again
