Bluehost Doubles CPU Quota

January 30, 2008 by wavenumber 

Bluehost HomepageMatt Heaton, the president of Bluehost.com, announced via a message in their forums that the CPU quota for their users has been doubled, and is already in place.

Bluehost is a popular, full-featured, and leading provider of shared web hosting. This is good and unexpected news for Bluehost subscribers as the low CPU quota was the most common user complaint.

Their homepage is located here: Bluehost.com

The full thread can be found here: “Cpu Quota Changes Effective Now!”

Here’s an excerpt from the message:

“Effective immediately (Actually as of Friday January 25th) we have altered the way we calculate CPU usage. Each user’s cap is now approximately double what we had it set to previously. Many users have complained lately that our cpu quotas were overly restrictive. I believe these changes should reduce the number of people that run into this problem by about 90%. We will continue to tweak our settings to stop only the most abusive of users on the system. This was never meant as a way to limit functionality, but rather a way to guarantee resources for servers that are shared by many users.”
