What does fair-share CPU usage means?
Hi,
Just being a beginner, what does fair-share CPU usage means and many AUP says CPU can't go above 0.9 (Ramnode), some says average load of 4 for 1 hours etc etc. And in what condition the VPS restarts/suspends?
So with maximum load if I could put into, how many requests can be served per second for a Wordpress blog for instance??
Can someone have a view saying, "I've Xgb RAM and x core @ x MHz and I am getting xK hits per day, and it's serving fabulously"
Regards.

Fair share means the resource is not dedicated and is shared by other clients. Contact the VPS provider for specifics about their CPU/load limits.
Unsure on the second bit as it would depend on plugins and site content etc. It's very varied. If you're honestly worried about CPU usage a small dedicated server or dedicated thread/core VPS would work ideally for you but I can't see it being an issue at all as it sounds like your provider is very generous if load of 4 for 1 hour etc.
Usually, if you're not using HitLeap or bitcoin/altcoin mining, you probably will never actually hit the limit.
This is just for my understanding. I know my site will never get million hits per min. Just want to have the idea what actually can be used.
I guess so.
Don't worry too much about it, my personal load limit is half the number of CPU cores for VPS providers and never had an issue before.
If it's something non-abusive and one time like compiling software or running benchmarks for a few minutes then nobody will care, it's only once you start using high CPU 24/7 with something like super heavy minecraft servers, hitleap or god forbid bitcoin mining!
fair share means you're getting just as much processing power than the other vps on the server. You won't get throttled basically.
well, I have a blog receiving around 1000-1500 UVs a day. Hosted on a 1 core, 1 GB memory VPS running centminmod (LEMP stack). Average usage hovers around 0.05-0.10.
Well, I shouldn't be worried then. Just a quicky, what's your average response time?
here is the pingdom screenie :

Average response time at Loader.io for upto 50-60 concurrent users is under 100ms.
