Hello,

We are writing from the Namecheap Legal and Abuse team.

It has come to our attention that the account with the username 'attrtnzv' is affecting the server performance and all accounts hosted thereon by a number of queries to the 'attrtnzv_muller_database' database.

We assume that the subject abusive activity may be caused by an unoptimized database assigned to your website(s). Thus, in order to resolve the matter, you should optimize it with the help of the following Namecheap KnowledgeBase article: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9791

Additionally, please perform the following steps to prevent the matter from being repeated in future:

- enable caching plugins (Note: Such plugins in conjunction with other website elements might malfunction. That is why if one of the plugins is already in use, it is required to disable the plugin temporarily and monitor the account activity.)
- revise all active plugins disabling unnecessary ones (in some cases even changing the current theme might be of use)
- make sure that all websites are well optimized and work as expected (if you are not a developer or professional in website administration, we strongly recommend use webmaster services)
- if SSH access is enabled for the account, it is possible to check which threads are being processed by the MySQL server:
Step 1 - Connect to your database using the following command: mysql -uusername -ppassword database_name
Step 2 - Once connected, please use the following command to see the active threads: show full processlist

As an option, you might consider upgrading your current hosting plan to 'VPS Quasar'. If you decide to proceed with this route, please let us know. Once your confirmation is received, this ticket will be forwarded to our Billing Department for further assistance.

While we try to avoid disruption of services for our customers wherever possible, given the severity of the incident, we have been forced to suspend the account in order to prevent the resource abuse and its impact on other accounts located on the server. In order to have the account unsuspended, it is required to confirm that all measures necessary for the issue resolving will be taken immediately after the unsuspension.

Thank you for understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions.

===============[ Please find the additional information below / attached ]===============


hank you for the confirmation.

We have scheduled the unsuspension of the account on May/13 after 10:00 PM UTC.

The account will be unsuspended for 12 hours. Let us also underline that if the server load increases critically, we may be forced to suspend the account before the time frame expires.

Once the account is activated, we will inform you accordingly.
