As you are spawning processes on each hit, your scripts can cause high CPU usage ona busy server. >As as result, I've had to disable the download URL Rotator script, as I'm >guessing that's the script that's causing the problem >(http://www.ljscripts.com/freescripts/) Can anyone recommend a free URL >Rotator script other that the above one. URL rotator scripts are only useful if they don't consume a lot of resources. That's not the case because of the way the script works in your environment. >I'm basically thinking that the problem is because I'm using a shared web >host package... and should be using a dedicated server host, due to the >number of users running the url script?? Such scripts are not suited for a shared server environment. There are several ways to distribute (web) load. You can use mod_rewrite, DNS round-robin, web proxies or load balancers. Most people go for DNS round-robin as it is the easier and cheaper solution.
