System specs:

Intel Celeron Proccesor
256 RAM (yeah I know...)
Debian Etch
Joomla! 1.5

Okay... so, here goes.

Recently, I have switched from Siteground hosting services and everything was fine. Now I have changed over to a deticated server that resides at my house. I'm routing DNS through FreeDNS (freedns.afraid.org).

For a week or two, the server was fine. Recently, we started working on the website on the new server (posting new articles, changing the theme, adding some plugins, etc.) and it's steadily gotten worse and worse about, when we save changes to something, or post an article, the website will go offline. Eventually, the website will come back.

My question is: What is causing this? The actual server isn't shutting off, so It has to be something between my modem and the user. Is my modem just shutting off because it's overloaded? (that seams sort of improbable) Or, is it a DNS issue? (I have a Dynamic DNS system set up that is working fine)

Thanks in advanced

try connecting to your ip address. if that works fine then its a dns issue. otherwise it's a local issue.

You're posting on a subspace server forum. This forum can't give you the help you're seeking for.
A forum like webhostingtalk.com would be more suitable for your question/problem.

Yeah, I've tried using the IP instead of the domain and it still doesn't work.

The Web part of the server isn't really the main problem. The ENTIRE server goes down. That's why I'm posting here

But this place is about SUBSPACE servers... Subspace/Continuum is an online space shooter game in which players can easily create servers.

It's not that we don't want to help, but as Maverick said, it's not the best place to find answers
