Understanding Resource Limits

DigitalFyre shared hosting runs on CloudLinux, which enforces per-account resource limits (called LVE — Lightweight Virtual Environment). These limits ensure that no single account can impact the performance of others on the same server.

Resource Types

Resource	Description
CPU Power	Processing power allocated to your account, measured in cores at 100% utilisation
Memory Allocation	RAM available for your processes (PHP, application code, etc.)
Concurrent Processes	Maximum number of simultaneous processes allowed
Disk I/O Speed	Disk read/write throughput limit
Disk Operations	Number of disk I/O operations per second (IOPS)
Inode Limit	Maximum number of files and directories on your account

Limits by Plan

Resource	Basic	Entry	Intermediate	Ultimate
CPU Power	1 Core at 100%	2 Cores at 100%	2 Cores at 100%	4 Cores at 100%
Memory Allocation	1 GB RAM	2 GB RAM	3 GB RAM	4 GB RAM
Concurrent Processes	20	60	75	90
Disk I/O Speed	1 GB/s	2 GB/s	3 GB/s	4 GB/s
Disk Operations	1,024 IOPS	2,048 IOPS	3,072 IOPS	4,096 IOPS
Inode Limit	200,000	500,000	750,000	1,000,000

Monitoring Your Usage

You can view your current resource usage at any time from Plesk — see Viewing Your Resource Usage.

CloudLinux uses CageFS to isolate each hosting account in its own environment. This improves both security and stability — issues on one account cannot affect others on the server.
