For future reference to anyone who has problems and reads this thread. The major issue most people have with intermittent problems is computer resources. Windows itself puts a lot of items in memory in the form of services. These compete with what is needed to run your show and is of no benefit to you. The other problems are related to software running in the background also competing for the same resources. With a little investigation, you can determine what is actually necessary and what is not. Start with any programs that are running on start-up. If they are not absolutely necessary, why are they running? Each one is like having an extra waitress at the bar. Do you really want to pay them (in the form of computer resources) for just standing around? You may think, they are not very expensive by themselves, but they do add up and take away from the bottom line.

Next, I would suggest a web site I have used for many years. It is http://www.blackviper.com/ take the time to read about all the things that are running in the background that are sucking up CPU cycles and memory. The same rules apply. If they are not adding to your show, why are you paying them to be there?

Next, are all your Windows Custom Updates done?

Then, after all of this, you are ready to proceed. If Hoster is still not running correctly for you, post a message. There are plenty of people here that are willing to help. They are going to ask you a series of questions designed to narrow down the problem. This is a back and forth conversation that can take as little as a few minutes, up to a few weeks. It would be a whole lot faster for you to get your answer if you have taken the time to get your "house" in order before the questions start.

I am posting this to help all of you. Please don't take it the wrong way. We all want the same thing. For everyone to have a trouble free show with as little down time as possible.
