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.
