We have a Google cloud based server running WHM/cPanel software. The server's resources are: 2 cores with 13GB RAM 400GB disk space. For some reason the server is extremely slow. We need someone to go into the server and figure out what is wrong with it. We can supply an SSH Key or anything else necessary. It was running fine last week and all of the sudden it's very slow. We will request clarification as to what was the issue upon fixing it.

Hi, There could be many reasons for a slow server including but not limited to slow disk I/O, network bandwidth limiting, service stuck (such as apache, mysql etc), slow DNS resolution but most importantly a malware/trojan/spam infection that can eat server resources. Honestly about 2 weeks ago, with a similar slowness case i have faced that there were crypto mining bots on a AWS instance that was eating server memory and cpu without being noticed. I have figured out them and clean the server professionally. I can debug/troubleshoot and find the root cause of server and can report what is causing server slowness and can fix it properly by preventing it happening again. I am a reliable, hardworking and a honest IT guy with more than 14 years of hands-on linux server experiences. I never leave a project incomplete and i continue till i succeed. If for some reason you wont be happy with the project results, i wont ask for any money. My main motto is to first solve the problem! Kindly review my previously completed projects (which include several server optimization, troubleshooting projects) as well as my reviews to qualify my experiences. Thank you for your time and interests in advance, Best Regards, Pardus
