Thank you for contacting Online Support. I understand you need assistance with your Dedicated IP not resolving as expected.
A concurrent connection is the number of simultaneous connections available to your site. Concurrent connections are related to requests being made to your site. This would reference the number of authenticated "handshakes" between a client and/or server during any given time before all communications have been disconnected.
Things that can affect concurrent connections are requests to view website pages, file downloads and database queries. It's possible that if you have multiple requests to have a file downloaded through your site that this connection is staying open and is ultimately causing your site to think it has more traffic that it actually does. Larger files cause connections to remain open longer, while your site's visitors download them. Smaller files/text lead to shorter connections. As an example, a blog with fewer readers might perform fine with an economy account and its 50 concurrent connections. However, a blog with streaming media or a higher patronage would probably need more connections.
This is most likely caused by your site having met its maximum concurrent connection limit. Shared hosting accounts are subject to the following limits:
Linux
Linux Deluxe - 100 Concurrent Connections
Linux Unlimited - 200 Concurrent Connections
Our 4GH® accounts allow many more connections. This number varies, but is at the following minimum amounts:
Linux 4GH limits
Linux 4GH Deluxe: 300 connections or more
Linux 4GH Unlimited: 600 connections or more
MySQL connections are limited to 200 from your hosting server to the MySQL server.
MSSQL connections are limited to 100 concurrent connections.
Larger files also cause connections to remain open longer, while your site's visitors download them. Smaller files/text lead to shorter connections. As an example, a blog with fewer readers might perform fine with an economy account and its 50 concurrent connections. However, a blog with streaming media or a higher patronage would probably need more connections.
To resolve these issues, consider upgrading to a plan with a higher concurrent connection limit. See Upgrading or Downgrading Your Hosting Account.
Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.
