  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Server lags randomly

We use PLESK on an SuSe Linux 9 plattform.

Single CPU 3000+
1 GB RAM
1 Gbps


We host different websites with several subdomains on the Server.

One of these subdomains contains an application based on PHP5 with MySQL . The application is in use of about 25 conurrent users.
Randomly the application becomes very slow. An action which normaly takes a second takes up to 40 seconds now. In that time the whole server lags and even the other websites are slow. But only for HTTP-Requests.

Our we tried to analyse the problem:
- HDD only 9% in use

- show processes with "top":
While a lag appeared no CPU Load for any http or MySQL processes

- show network traffic with "iptraf"
Nearly no traffic hits the server

- show apache status with "apachetop"
Normaly 2 requests per second

Has somebody any ideas what we can check to find the problem?
