The CPU/RAM consumption of a web site may in no way affect the performance of a server. This means that the implementation of scripts on a web site must be carefully studied by the account¢s owner.
All domain account's only allowed to use not more than 10% of CPU processing power at anytime. If there are cases of CPU Usage exceeds, we will advised on optimization options for your website. If said domain still using more than allowed CPU Power after optimization, it is clear that said website is not eligible to be placed in shared hosting and client will be instructed to move away for VPS or Dedicated Server.
Examples of what can cause high CPU/RAM usage are:
- Scripts that handle too much data from text files. An example of this is a message board. The UBB (Ultimate Bulletin Board) & Ikonboard is well known to consume very high amounts of CPU anytime it has to handle its flat file/mysql database (like when someone posts a message).
- Perl scripts constantly executed consume a lot of server resources, since the Perl interpreter must be launched each time the script is called.
- Components or scripts or plugins with long loops and componets or scripts or plugins that are constantly calling a database and doing complex queries.
- Any autoblog components or scripts or plugins, such as wp-o-matic for Wordpress.
- Any self-hosted autoresponder components or scripts or plugins.
- We reserve the right to disable any script that affects normal shared server operation without notice. Web sites with excessive traffic will consume plenty of CPU and RAM, since the webserver has to handle more.
If a script (and its instances) is found to be consuming too much CPU power (more than 10%) and/or RAM, and it¢s affecting the overall performance of a server, BaitulBytes has the right to move/block the script, and warn the account¢s owner. The warning will consist of a request to improve the performance of the script, or to replace it with a more efficient one. If, the account¢s user pays no attention to a warning (or several ones) and puts the script back to operation, BaitulBytes has the right to again block the script and/or change the account¢s password until the user complies. If, after that, the user still pays no attention to the warning and puts the script back, BaitulBytes will delete the account. No refunds will be given.
