  • Normal Linux Server Resource Limits

 

  • User agree to not use excessive amounts of resources. Any violations may result in us taking corrective action in order maintain server stability by killing any processes, disabling and/or suspending your account. User may not use 50% or more of available system resources (CPU or memory) for longer then 30 seconds or more than 2% CPU daily, 3% memory daily. User may not run more than 10 simultaneous processes per user or allow any process to run for longer than 30 CPU seconds or run any process that consumes more than 32 MB of memory. Databases are limited to 16 max user connections. Cron jobs must not execute more than once every 30 minutes unless if specified by the script provider and will be niced to 15 or greater. Each cPanel account may not send more than 300 emails per hour. If it is determined that a customers account is overusing the system resources, we may temporary suspend the account to prevent the server from experiencing any issues, resulting problems to other valued customers. If it is determined that the account is not suitable for the shared or reseller server environment, a notice will be sent to the customer providing them alternative solutions or such as ‘Semi-Dedicated’, ‘Dedicated Servers’ or a Premium Hosting account. GlobalWebHost.Net will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision and GlobalWebHost.Net reserves the right to make adjustments to these limits at our sole discretion.

 

CloudLinux Regular Server Resource Limits Regular limit means a limit that users are allowed to burst at any given time and for any time period that they prefer*, individual resource limit allocations are for each cPanel account, listed for each plan is given below.

CL Limits for Corporate Resellers
– CPU SPEED = 200%
– Dedicated RAM (PMEM) = 2GB
– Read & write operations limit (IO) = 1024Kbps
– File Download Speed Limit = 1Gbps
– Max Number of Processes (NPROC) = 100
– Entry Process Limit (EP) = 20

CL Limits for  Resellers
– CPU SPEED = 100%
– Dedicated RAM (PMEM) = 1GB
– Read & write operations limit (IO) = 1024Kbps
– File Download Speed Limit = 1Gbps
– Max Number of Processes (NPROC) = 100
– Entry Process Limit (EP) = 20

CL Limits for SEO/Shared and Normal Resellers
– CPU SPEED = 100%
– Dedicated RAM (PMEM) = 1GB
– Read & write operations limit (IO) = 1024Kbps
– File Download Speed Limit = 1Gbps
– Max Number of Processes (NPROC) = 100
– Entry Process Limit (EP) = 20

*In addition to the above burst CPU limits users are required to use no more than 2% CPU per month (Example: If a user users 200% CPU continuously for 1 hour his monthly CPU usage would be 00.138% so it’s unlikely an average user would ever reach the monthly 2% limit ). There are no monthly limits for other resource types listed here.

  • All un-metered dedicated servers and virtual private servers are installed on hundred mbps shared bandwidth ports, unless service is sold as a specified port size or specified/requested as a capped port. GlobalWebHost.Net reserves the right to monitor network usage, and if a service significantly exceeds average usage, to throttle the available speed to conserve network resources. This will generally not include short spikes in usage, but will include, but not be limited to, sustained transfers of significantly larger than average amounts of bandwidth. If at any time any client’s data transfer rate affects other GlobalWebHost.Net clientele, GlobalWebHost.Net reserves the right to throttle the service causing such a problem.

 

  • Net performs daily or daily and weekly backups on all of our servers to ensure critical files are never lost. Our daily and weekly backups are created for accounts that are under 20GB and 150,000 Inodes. For Reseller plans, these limits apply to each cPanel user individually. Furthermore, GlobalWebHost.Net does not guarantee this feature to any of the clients, and therefore strongly advise the client to regularly perform a backup of their own data, hosted with us. In the unfortunate event that the client has lost their data hosted with GlobalWebHost.Net, will use reasonable endeavors to restore the client’s data; however GlobalWebHost.Net will not be responsible for lost data, time, income or any other resource due to faulty backups or non-existent back-ups or any data loss due to faulty hardware. We highly encourage our customers to have their own separate backups if your website or data is critical to your business or livelihood as no backup method is failsafe therefore we make no warranties.

 

  • The use of more than 145,000 inodes on any cPanel account (single user) may result in automatic warning on cPanel > Stats > inodes. There will be no service interruption at this stage but if no action is taken to reduce the inodes, service interruption may take place once a user reach 150,000 Inodes. Accounts found to be exceeding the 150,000 inode limit will automatically show resource exceeded message and may be suspended if no action is taken to reduce the inode count. Virtual private servers have a server wide limit of 5 million and there are no per cPanel user limits. Resellers have a reseller wide limit of 1 million inodes in addition to the per user limit, however this reseller limit is not something we actively enforce and it will only become an issue if a reseller is causing problems for other resellers on the server. If a resellers inode usage is in between 5 to 10 million inodes we may request the reseller to upgrade to a dedicated server or provide adequate time to resolve the inode usage, if no action is taken by the reseller, account may be suspended. Gold resellers have a per user limit of 75,000 inodes and a 250,000 reseller wide limit of inodes. If this limit is exceeded, we may request the gold reseller to upgrade to a normal reseller plan or provide adequate time to resolve the inode usage, if no action is taken by the budget reseller, account may be suspended. On reseller servers a single cPanel user account space usage should not be larger than 50GB, the related cPanel account may be suspended if no action is taken to reduce the account size.

 

  • Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files or resellers with millions of files that cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

 

  • You MUST NOT use our SHARED HOSTING AND RESELLER HOSTING ACCOUNTS to offer any of the following kinds of services;
  • First, free services: generally do not require any reliable means of identifying the person who registers for them. As such, it can be practically impossible to track down persons who abuse the free services.

 

  • Our customers, including (resellers) are all paying for prompt, reliable service and we have built a solid reputation for delivering excellent service to them. We cannot risk having unidentified persons damage our reputation.

 

  • Users of free services are notorious for registering for free accounts and immediately spamming or otherwise consuming very large amounts of system resources and bandwidth before their accounts are shut down. Such abusers often register for successive or multiple accounts and cause many problems for the servers and network.

 

  • Spammers, operators of phishing and pharming scams, phishing sites, distributors of spyware, viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and other malware, operators of illegal Warez sites, operators of illegal or unauthorized file-swapping or archive sites, and hackers frequently abuse free online services. Allowing free services would expose our servers to severe abuse and could harm us or all of our customers, and all the customers of our resellers.

 

  • Free services lead to various forms of abuses that may violate criminal laws or even foster terrorist activities. Because such abuses violate applicable laws as well as our policies, we must prohibit them.If you violate this prohibition on free services, we may suspend your account immediately, with or without notice, as we in our sole discretion deem necessary to address the situation.

This means you can not operate a site that specializes in downloads like Download.com or similar and you may not use your account as a storage repository for MP3, games, video, photos, images, audio or music files or as a backup storage facility.
