I just experience it just about 20 minutes ago. I had just reinstalled a few plugins on one of my sites yesterday and updated my sites content recently.
During the pass 8 hours, I noticed particularly the Hometrik site was having high traffic as per any one time I checked, it was around 200 plus visitor and members.
After that, I received email from my host telling me that I had overloaded my cpu usage and shut my site down!
Only after a few exchange of emails they decided to re up my sites. Warning me not to let that happen again. What?
I asked them, meaning if I host on shared hosting package, I can not have high traffic?!!
I agree with slavezero that the host is “forcing” their shared account holders to switch to their vps or dedicated hosting plans which is very costly.

I have been in the same situation for quite a few days. My sites(6, to be exact) are hosted in one account on a budget plan, and got 300 visits or less per day. They are not hot at all, really.

Thanks to Slavezero, Now I know the real answer to the cpu resources secrets.

I am currently experiencing exactly the same problem as yours. I almost removed all my plugins and i also did try using a 2 column minimal template. I installed wp-supercache. but my account is still uses excessive resources. They always telling me to upgrade to vps or dedicated hosting.

what i did now is i clean the codes, removed more plugins, and installed hyper-cache. it lowers my usage but still not enough for their production server. I’m really running out of option. If i remove all my plugins it is much better to host my blog on a free hosting site.

I also think that this is one of their way of “forcing” their shared account holders to switch to their vps or dedicated hosting plans which is very costly.

Do you have any tracking software installed server side that could be eating resources?

One thing you could do to reduce your CPU usage would be do get rid of cumbersone Javascripts that hog resources. Maybe the problem is widgets like MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog? I recently got rid of MBL myself because it was slowing down my page loads too much.

They must be cracking down because I’m using lunarpages and they just booted me off for CPU usage. I had to buy a VPS account for 45$ month.

I’ll see your question about storage and raise you one about hosting multiple domains on one account. When I tried to put a second domain on my hosting it threw off my whole permalink structure. Any ideas?
