CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello all,
I'm having trouble with my host.
Access to my website was taken down by the host, when I asked tech support why they replied the site used up too many "mdi resources" and that I need to upgrade my hosting.
Am I being taken for a ride?
This is the first time ever I get such a problem with CMS Made simple (have been using it for at least three years now, with never an issue).
Any advice?
As things stand now I can't even access the admin section.
Thanks

CMSMS in itself is generally considered to be lightweight.... but of course when building websites you need to be concerned about HOW you implement things and your traffic.

It doesn't matter what system you use (or static html files) if you are serving too much data, or serving too many requests your website can consume resources.

This is where it takes skill and experience.... to know how to diagnose, and reduce these problems... and to know to call somebody when you can't go any further yourself.

I'm not a server expert, but in 13 years of web design it's the first time I've ever heard of mdi resources in this context.

The host officially offers unlimited bandwidth, and while the website does provide downloads of audio files it does not offer video streams.

The only video provided by the site is actually hosted on vimeo.

Any further advice?
Thanks

A google search for hosting mdi resources left me none-the-wiser. Maybe ask them exactly what they mean by mdi? At the same time check you haven't hit limit of things like disc space and bandwidth.

bandwidth is just the number of bytes sent to and sent from your website. it is a completely different subject from file handles, database resources, queries, RAM, disk space.

I'm embarassed to say I got swayed by a typo in the tech support e-mail, it was not "mdi resources" but just "resources".
Thank you everyone, I'll look into it.
