What kind of resource limits do you have for your shared
hosting environment?

We take several measures to provide an equal opportunity to system resources among the many customers that share the Modwest shared hosting environment. This includes limitations of resources per customer in addition to intelligent PHP defaults. Keep in mind: these limitations are designed to protect the quality of performance for our customers. They are in place to safe-guard occasional issues in which the actions of one customer may affect another. While there are more limits than we will list, these are the ones that we find our customers occasionally will reach:

Storage/Bandwith Limit - these limits are based on the levels set for your particular hosting plan. More information about what to expect when exceeding these limits can be found in our FAQ here.

CPU Limit - if you run a script that utilizes %100 of the CPU for a machine in our web cluster for over 30 seconds, then you will reach this limit. Keep in mind that this is 30 seconds of %100 cpu utilization, not 30 seconds of total execution time. This is a rare case and is usually due to software that has gone out of control.

Memory Limit - there is a 48MB limit of memory allocation for any particular execution.

PHP Resource Defaults - there are some defaults that are set for PHP. These can be modified through various methods depending on the limit. For more information about the particular limits, check out the PHP documentation here.

NOTE: although these can be set to values which exceed the system limitations, you will not be able to actually break them.
- max_execution_time = 30
- memory_limit = 8388608
- upload_max_filesize = 8M
- post_max_size = 8M
