: "Connection Reset", "No data recieved" all of the time on my website I'm building an imageboard, and for some reason this error happens all of the time (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE). I talked to GoDaddy

Some more anecdotal info for future readers:

I created an AJAX-powered app which scrapes data from a 3rd party external site using a rapid-fire series of http requests. This is done with PHP, using AngularJS on the frontend. It works great on my local PC and it makes over 1000 requests pretty quickly and without error.


When I upload the app to GoDaddy, I can see that after about 18-35 successful requests (it varies), they all begin to error out with net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE. The whole domain hangs for a bit as described by OP. Then I can try again and I get the exact same behavior.


This leads me to believe that GoDaddy has a bandwidth-per-minute cap or something of that nature. I would be curious if OP's imageboard also loads a large amount of data or uses multiple rapid http requests.

Many people appear to have this problem on Godaddy hosting and Godaddy have told one complainant this


It is possible that when the error is occurring that it is triggering
the Mod_sec of the hosting account. In the current hosting account
type that you have it isn't possible for us to disable that function
for security reasons. We do have hosting accounts with cPanel that
allow us to bypass the Mod_Sec rules, which could resolve the issue.
