Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. CGI processes and individual ssh commands are limited to two to five minutes of CPU time, and PHP requests are limited to three minutes of wall-clock time.

These restrictions are designed to catch runaway processes, not to interfere with ordinary usage. "Stock" web applications, specifically including phpBB and WordPress, simply do not use enough resources to encounter these limits. Who would wait three minutes for a web page to load anyway?

Although we do not impose a overall specific per-site CPU limit, ours is a shared hosting service. Please do not sign up for our service expecting to use our hardware (either ssh or CGI/PHP) as if it were your own dedicated server, as this will not be allowed.

One important related restriction to be aware of is that we do not allow persistant processes of any sort.
