Explanation of Hosting Resources

In computer technology, we usually recognize usage limitations. for example, a smartphone has a dual core processor, 4GB RAM, etc. This also applies to hosting, because it also uses a computer system to run it. The following are some terms used in resource sharing that we usually hear when using hosting

LVE is a feature that makes it possible to provide limitations (SPEED, Memory, IO, IOPS, NPROC, and EP) so that no website overloads (abuses resources) and causes the server to go down. LVE ensures that users cannot exceed the resources that have been provided.

1. SPEED

SPEED Limit or what is known as CPU speed is a limit on CPU or processor usage. each core or multi core

Example of LVE speed limitation calculation:

–speed=XX% will calculate the relative performance per 1 core.

• –speed=50% means 1/2 core
• –speed=100% means 1 core,
• –speed=150% means 1.5 cores

2. Memory (Physical memory)

Memory Limits is an LVE limitation which functions to limit memory (RAM) calculated in MB (Megabyte) or GB (Giga byte).

You can see individual processes' memory usage by monitoring the RES column on the process' top output. Physical memory also accounts for the shared memory used by the client, including disk cache.

If the user lacks physical memory, the memory used in the disk cache will be released without disrupting memory performance.

3. I/O (Input Output)

IO (Input Output) is an LVE limitation that limits the input/output (read/write) of data to the disk drive for clients in kb/s units. When it reaches the limit, the process will be put into sleep mode and become slower. The IO limit will only impact disk IO, not the network and disk cache.

4. EP (Entry Process)

E.P is an LVE limitation that limits all the main Apache processes per user on the server or what is usually called concurrent Apache connections.

When the given limit is exceeded, the user will be placed in the LVE process so that the user's process becomes slow, which means the client's website will be slow when accessed.

If one of these resources is reached, it usually makes the website inaccessible or slows down. This is the same as a computer that hangs because it cannot withstand the many programs or applications running at one time
