Performance and Connections

My server is slow/ freezen?

Please run "tracert ServerIP", "ping ServerIP", "telnet ServerIP Port" on your local computer, and send the screenshot to email support@databasemart.com.

Tips for VPS Usage

To reduce the risk of VPS slowness or freeze, please take the follow measure: When you finish your work on the remote server, please quit RDP session through Start -> Account -> Sign Out, instead of closing the RDP window. That will clear the programs running in the background and release system resource. Or you can restart the server periodically.

Note: If you need your program running, please do not sign out nor restart.
