Connection issues?

Posted on July 8, 2013

How come at times I cannot connect to my server? I have a LEMP stack configured and often times throughout the day, I’ll try to connect to the site only for it not to connect. During these times I cannot access the server through putty, or FTP. The “downtimes” could last upwards of 2+ minutes some times. Is something configured improperly or is this another issue?

I seem to have the same issue. My server seems to drop off the internet every 1-3 days. This causes e.g. all my IRC-connections to drop off simultaneously. My droplet resides in Amsterdam.

Is there any resolution to this problem ?

I see it was reported 2 years back and even now I am facing a similar problem without any anomaly at the server.

My server just stops to respond sporadically anytime in the day for 10 odd minutes which is very frustrating for my customers.

Could DO guys suggests a fool proof way to protect this from happening ?

Please suggest asap.

Thanks.

Dan, can you please open up a support ticket? Please make sure you mention the affected droplet. <br> <br>Thanks!
