      Be careful with that

      I think some providers prevent full usage of a VPS in the ToS

        In this case the web server will temporarily exceed 1GB RAM and crash. It’s usually hovering around 700MB. I configured 4GB swap but I haven’t seen it use more than 1.5GB. I honestly doubt they would even have a way to know, but thanks for the warning.

          I guess you will find out

          Its probably fine. Just make sure you have a backup outside of the cloud provider.

        Are you sure? Because that’s fucking dumb. If it was alà ISP, then it is understandable. Most ISP CANNOT GUARANTEE the maximum advertised speed, not outright violating ToS when you are able to use those full speed. Big difference there.

          It depends on weither you are on the shared CPU plan. I’m quite sure but I think they may have ram limits along with CPU limits.

            Maybe it is a violation when you are doing it all the time? Like, 24/7 you are using the whole resources available. Then yeah, I could see it.
