All our Shared Hosting Accounts allow you to use:

• Maximum of 25 mysql connection simultaneously. If you having 5 domains, then its 25 connection each domain, and total of 125 connections.
• Maximum of 25% CPU usage limit.

25 simultaneous mysql connection is a lot. Basically a forum with 300-400 active members, would only hit this 25 simultaneous connection once a while. You should choose to use a good optimised forum script. We strongly recommend vbulletin forum scripts , over phpBB, IPB, or SMF board for serious forums usage.

For the CPU usage, its rarely that you hit the 25% cpu usage. Unless your site is script intensive and require more logic processing or in other words is process intensive.

A question we are often asked is regarding flash websites, will it hit this quota. Very unlikely, because a flash file is downloaded to user browser and played from browser. This makes use of bandwidth only and not CPU.

However, if you find your websites hitting the cpu usage quota or when you are about to exceed the maximum cpu usage limit - here's a quick solution to get around it:

Turn off the awstat that comes for your account from within your Cpanel.
Awstats is quite resource intensive - by turning this off, you gain more cpu resource for your accounts use.

Note: WordPress Hosting Plans have a larger maximum limit of 50 simultaneous mysql connections.If you are using WordPress for your sites then we recommend you upgrade to any of the WordPress Hosting Plans.
