I got a Dedicated Server, but website loading slow - DNS issue?

I THINK THIS IS SOLVED NOW....... ​
MY HOST EDITED MY APACHE SETTINGS. WEBSITE SEEMS TO BE LOADING FAST AGAIN... (for now :p ) Thanks for looking anyway. ​


Hi,
I took the leap from shared hosting and got myself a dedicated server. :)
Here are the specs:

Intel i7-2600
1TB SATA3 Hard Drive
8GB RRAM DDR3
1Gbit best effort: 250Mbps guaranteed

So basically I'm having issues with the website loading slowly. Here is a screenshot from Pingdom:

I'm not sure if it's down to my DNS settings or what?
It's taking about 20 seconds before anything is even loaded/shown.

However in about a few hours it might return back to normal, and start loading in 1 - 2 seconds. o_O

It done this yesterday as well.

Does anyone have any good experience with dedicated servers and would like to look into this for me? My knowledge off SSH / looking at DNS & checking disk I/O records isn't very good :(

I thought moving to a dedicated server would make my website fast, at the moment it's not the case.

Any comments welcome.
 
Hello,

When you have a dedicated server and you're hosting your own DNS and if your site is slow could be many problems.

1. Apache Settings - Default isn't so great.
2. Make sure your IPs are pointed properly to your server. (If they're not working than this can cause a DNS failure.)
3. Make sure your nameservers are setup correctly, Meaning: Registered, Pointed to the IPs of the server and A Records on your server for your DNS. (Server)

To verify your nameservers are pointing to a DNS Server and IPs: http://www.intodns.com/ is a good website to check.

Do you see any "RED"? Are the IPs, your server IPs?

Lastly, Another common issue that can cause DNS issues is a DNS Resolvers.

Login to your server via SSH.

Use your favorite editor (I prefer nano / pico) - If you're familiar with vim than you use that.

Code: 
nano /etc/resolv.conf

I'd recommend removing everything out of there and use Google's DNS Servers, The file will be like this:

Code: 
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Than press ctrl+x (Prompt to Save) and press 'y' for yes and press enter.
