This is a bluehost question posted by dvessel on 07 March 2006

Hi, I’m a new member and at first bluehost seemed to be perfect for me. Lots of control, disk space and bandwidth but one thing is worrying me.. CPU limits.

I now know that I can’t exceed 20% usage on the CPU only because my site was down with that message. What I’m wondering is 20% over how long and is there a way to track it? I’m on box 97 with quad CPU’s and whenever I check the CPU usage in the cpanel it’s always about 1-4%. Not sure how if it’s an average over the day or if it’s specific to me since it’s so low.

I have 3 domains with various CMS’s installed but no traffic yet. I’m still playing with different packages and only 1 is live (the-heartless.net) but there aren’t many visitors. Sure, installing/uninstalling these applications will take up cpu minutes but to have it trigger so easily has made me uneasy about the future.

So, again.. How can I track this if it’s possible -is it the cpanel and if so, how is it being tracked? The 20% is over what duration? And is anyone else running into this?
