best host that allows best % of cpu usage
Which host company you think is the best in terms of allowing a good % of the cpu on shared plan,
so far i have found the following
bluehost not exceed %50 for more than 30 Sec.
hostgator %25 for 60 Sec.
webhostingpad %10 for 30 Sec.
what is the % of cpu allowed on your host?Last edited by manhal; 05-04-2009 at 07:45 PM.

Heres how I see it * the more you pay the more cpu you get* and if you need anything over 10% cpu get a vps

bluehost claims that they allow %50 of cpu usage on their plan (shared), but in reality I am not sure how much is this true?

Look into higher quality and more expensive hosting plans such as MediaLayer.

There is no gurantee really regarding the cpu usage, The only way you can determine the CPU usage is by purchasing a dedicated server. Even in VPS, there is a cpu limit, though it should be much higher than the conventional shared/reseller hosting.

The question is what happens when you hit that? Are you allowed to go over with a warning? Is the CPU throttled at the application level? Linux? Windows?

Seeing as 'you are not allowed to discuss your own company here', I will say there are hosts the same as Hostgator, I think 25% upto 120 Seconds

I guess I'm old school. I think you can have as much as you want as long as no one notices.

Most hosts have it listed in their resource abuse policy under their AUP.
The average I see is 20% per domain/file/application.≈ PeakVPN.Com | Complete Privacy VPN | Cloud Hosting | Guaranteed Security | 1Gbps-10Gbps Unmetered

Agree 100% with the first part. But if you're consistently using over 10% of a typical (high-spec) shared server then a small dedicated would probably make more sense than the typical VPS.
I think that's probably true for many hosts. The trouble is, even if the host isn't monitoring closely, with hundreds of other users on the server it probably won't be long before someone notices...
The simple answer is you can't expect to compare different hosts' ToS and get any kind of meaningful guide to how much cpu you'll be allowed. Even if you see "x% for x seconds", is that x% of a Xeon dual quad or x% of a P4? And how are they measuring that x% anyway? If you think you'll be using a lot of cpu, look for hosts with a good reputation whose prices are high enough to cover the sort of usage you have in mind.Chris

I think that's probably true for many hosts.
Also, 50%, 25%, 10% usage can only be there for you if sufficient other customers are not using this "right" at the same time. It also doesn't mean that you can use 5% constantly ad infinitum.
Like darkeden said, "the more you pay the more cpu you get", which I would even change a bit into "the more you pay the more likely you are to get more cpu".0

different hosting has different policies. Sometime very hard to figure out which one best suit your needs.

I can find a good shared server with a good % of cpu for less than $10 per month, can I find something similar with a small dedicated and same price range? probably not

It could be a company with max %25 cpu better than another one with max %50 depending on the cpu-type

Agreed. Which means that the $10 shared account is a bargain, until the host notices your usage and politely asks you to upgrade or move on...
I was always under the impression that higher price means better service but in reality with my own experience this is not always true ...Chris
