I'm going to be transferring my vbulletin site (http://vgchat.info/forum) over to x10 hosting. In the cpanel I noticed some pretty high usage already

Code:
Server Load  	16.58 (4 cpus)  	
Memory Used 	48.8 %

So before I transfer, is it ok for my to transfer my vbulletin here from hostgator or will it wind up using too much cpu/memory? I'm transferring it to here because today I just lost my job & can't really afford the $7 a month at hostgator plus my gaming bills (which alone are $25 a month) for much longer then a little over 10 months.
Edit:
Also I dont know if these use up tons of resources or not... but here's the mods installed for it.

Code:

as long as your copy of vb is legal. x10 has a 0 tolerance policy on nulled scripts, and they will catch you if it is nulled.

other than that yeah its fine. the server load is a useless number to gauge performance. ive seen the server load hit 80 or so once, and my sites loaded almost instantly

[edit] i don't know about the mods, but if they do use to many resources, all that happens is your automatically temporarily suspended. You can unsuspected your self, you'll just need to figure out what used the resources.

but i only see automated suspensions happinging with poorly made scripts

You could try, but if you get suspended for using too much resources, you'd better get paid. The cheapest paid plan here is $4.95

Yeah I know they don't support nulled stuff and there's a scan coming up today, so thats not really a problem for me since I'm licensed :biggrin:. It was pretty much the resource usage that had me concerned. I'll go ahead & transfer the files right now.
Edit:
ok I just tried to import a 14mb zipped sql file into a database via phpmyadmin and I get this

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 117087992 bytes) in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/libraries/unzip.lib.php on line 325

you may need to edit the sql file and break it down into 3 or 4 or more files, then import each section.

Ok I've noticed that hostgator has

# Server version: 5.1.30
# Protocol version: 10
MySQL client version: 5.1.30

while x10 hosting has

# erver version: 5.0.84-percona-highperf-b18
# Protocol version: 10
MySQL client version: 5.0.81

So what do you recommend I do when I make a backup since I'm still getting errors when importing.. Such as "your syntax is invalid on line x"
