Website Using Too Many Server Resources?
What exactly does it mean to be using too many server resources in a shared web hosting environment? Web sites can often get suspended for using too many server resources, such as RAM or CPU usage. To put in the simplest terms, your web site might be overloading the server to an extent where no other accounts on the same hosting server can continue to function.
How Many Server Resources Do You Have?
When your web site is hosted on a shared web hosting server, you share certain elements of the web hosting with other people that are on the same server you are on. The metaphor might be a little old, but think of it as being virtual neighbors with other web hosting clients like yourself. Each neighbor has to share the same amount of the server’s RAM and CPU processing power.
Now the limits on how many sever resources you can use might vary from web host to web host, so check with your web host for the hard numbers and statistics. Now the next question is, how do these problems happen?
Causes for Server Resource Usage Suspensions
There are many different events that could cause you to use too many server resources. Here are just a few common examples:
- Hacked or Security Related Issues
- Script or Plugin Vulnerability
- Sudden Burst of Popularity
- Out of Date Script or Plugin
- Badly Written Script or Plugin
Anything that is over working the server could be considered a cause.
I hope that helps to explain what it means to use too many server resources in web hosting. As long as you are proactive about how much RAM or CPU power your web site is using, you should never run into a big server resource usage problem.
