This has been reported by another user from the UK, last week, but...
Every single fragging day, my site - which is on Boru - become inaccessible from around 1pm local time, which I think is about 7am at the server location if the geolocation for Boru is correct in placing it physically in the Chicago area.
Every single day, the same issues - either 'page temporarily unavailable' or a failure to connect to MySQL, lastiing from one to two hours before it clears up of its own accord.
To me, as an ex-sys admin that says system overload - something is hammering the MySQL server at the same time every single day, which is no biggie for users on your side of pond, but peak lunchtime viewing hours over here.
Obvious possibilities would be something internal like a main server backup but the timing also raises the possibility that there's just a shedload of sites on the server all running Cron jobs at the same time, most likely database backup scripts, and this is just chewing up all the connections.
Can we at least get this investigated to find out what's hammering the MySQL server so hard at the same time every day - it shouldn't be difficult to pin down the cause(s) from the server logs.
For the 22 hours of the day, the hosting and reponse times are top notch for a free service, even allowing for all recent outages caused by problems with the SAN migration, its just a shame that us UK and European users are having to put with a regular daily outage during our peak hours.
