ResellerZoom - 16 Max Connections to Databases..




Posted by Richard R, 06-19-2006, 12:04 AM
Hey, I was about to sign up to ResellerZoom, and I saw your only allowed to have a maximum of 2% of CPU usage, AND 16 max connections to your databases... This is a joke???? What if you have a forum, this means you can only have 16 people browsing it at once, this is soo stupid!!! Please confirm this for me, im very pissed. By the way, Advanced 1. I have $24.95/m budget. And I need ClientExec, good support, 75gb bandwidth, 5gb space, atleast.

The most you can get out of a shared hosting plan is 25 simultaneous database connections, any more than that and you would need something more powerful. A vps, semi-dedicated or maybe a dedicated server. That's how it is with each and every single web host

Actually as long as your using a good forum script 16 simultanious connections will allow a lot more than 16 people to actively browse your forum. As long as the script is closing its connections properly then you could probably get 30-50 simulatinous users on your forum and still not reach the 16 simultanious connections limit..

Quite right - also worth mentioning, this is why you should never use p_connect in a shared environment. This really depends on how much you are paying for shared hosting. Hosts do exist that charge more for hosting and allow heavier CPU/RAM/mySQL usage.

is this per sub-client domain/account or per reseller account?

I would suspect its per MySQL user, as it would just be a normal limit set in my.cnf.

They state the limits in their AUP: Point 8 -> http://resellerzoom.com/aup.shtml

vBulletin will easily do 60-80 users online simultaneously under these limits, I know first hand, and with that many online I have never seen a max connections error.

Great info Stephen, thanks for sharing ! That is certainly higher then I would have thought....

I agree. And 2% is probably an average per day. When a site starts showing up above 2% in 12 or 24 hours, it is either a pretty busy site or has a problem.

It is per domain/account not per reseller

Thats problem for big sites

Posted by (Stephen), 06-26-2006, 02:41 PM
No, not for properly coded large sites, vBulletin will easily work within these limits for 90+ users AT A TIME. I am speaking from first hand experience(not at RZ, but about mysql limits and what works on them).

For the price they are charging do you really expect more. maybe on the larger plans they should give a little more as there should be less users, but the lower plans that a good thing. See most people come here and say why only this or that, you can't run big sites. If a site is really that big and busy buy a VPS server. See the real facts are host need to make money as they have techs, bandwidth to pay, and servers to buy. ( remember good servers are not cheap and do cost money to fix ) If they said unlimited then that means somebody can buy a cheap package and take full control and hurt the other users on the system and even cost them money. Remember you’re not the only person on the server and having set limits is good as it keeps all users playing the same.
