[Help] Why My Website Crashes

[clown07]

My website crashes whenever 70-80 people connect to it. I've seen that whenever there are 70-100 people online on my site, it crashes. Sometimes it gives an error "Error Establishing Database Connection"

I have this package of hosting at Vps.net:
Dedicated CPU 1.2GHz
Dedicated RAM 752MB
Disk space20GB
Network transfer500GB

Please Help.

Dedicated CPU 1.2GHz << Thats Why , Why would you have a 1 ghz CPU ?. Better off getting a small dedicated server. Then atleast you can have the whole CPU to your self .

Ps . Get a CPU 2.0ghz or higher

it seems you are running wordpress and you are on VPS, have you tried using any cache method using plugins like w3 total cache? , you can also try reducing number of posts visible on main index, try optimizing your mysql database and apache, also you may consider using nginx as proxy

which http server do u use? apache lighttpd nginx? try to lower the max. connections added and increase the que/child connections. or just fix your php code.

EDIT: oh sry... my bad... it's a VPS lol. then you probabbly should talk to your hosting admin... they maybe have too many users to which the server is shared and it just overloads.
