Quotas & Limits cPanel web hosting

(1) The disk space provided is reserved exclusively for your site files. It cannot be used for archiving data such as email, computer files, backups, etc. The file size limit is 500 MB on all our cPanel shared web hosting packages.

(2) Your account can use 100% of CPU resources for a maximum of 490 seconds. The CPU quota is divided into 5 CPUs for MySQL and the rest for the web service. For example, for a cPanel XL, you have 5 CPUs for MySQL and 4 CPUs for the web service (PHP, Node.js, Python, etc.).

(3) No limit on the number of read/write operations per second (IOPS). If excessive disk usage is detected, limits may be applied to the cPanel account in terms of volume (in MB per second) and/or activity (in operations per second).

(4) Processes are the execution of a command in the server that performs a specific task. For multithreaded processes, each thread is counted as a process. Some tools such as Node.js and Python require one or more processes to run constantly in the background, even without a visitor ( daemons).

(5) Different MySQL connection limits may apply if abuse is detected.

(6) Bandwidth is unlimited on all cPanel web hosting packages. To find out more about unlimited shared web hosting, see our terms and conditions.

(7) The size limit indicated applies to the total size of the email as transmitted by your email software. Email software generally appliesbase64 encoding to attachments before transmission, resulting in an average increase of around 33% in the size of each attachment.

Quotas & Limits cPanel mail hosting

(1) Beyond the limit of e-mails sent per hour, e-mails sent will be returned as undeliverable. In this case, you will have to wait an hour before you can send e-mails again.

(2) After 20 POP & IMAP connections via the same IP address, connection attempts will give an "incorrect login" error.

To optimise the number of active connections, it is advisable to deactivate the POP & IMAP log or to configure it so that the automatic log is taken every 10 minutes.
