moose-en-a-gant Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I'm looking at shared hosting provided by GoDaddy. On the shared hosting they offer, entry process limitations range from 100 to 125. I was also told this by customer support: Entry Processes are the number of connections your account can process simultaneously. Understanding what constitutes a connection is important, though, because it's not as straightforward as "the number of visitors on your website." Here's what constitutes as a connection: Your website delivering data via HTTP Your hosting account transferring data via SSH A Cron job processingHowever, the connections are only counted while they're processing. As soon as they've finished, they no longer count as processes. For an example, if a visitor comes to your site and your home page takes .1 seconds to load and generates only one HTTP connection, that visitor counted as one process for .1 seconds. Even though that visitor is still "viewing your site," they no longer count as a connection until they do something else that generates another connection, like move to a new page. So what is an average user count that I can conclude? I don't want to think that "it's not possible" I just need to know what limitations I'm looking at. I'm also curious what kind of error would be generated if more than 100 or 125 people tried to access the server simulataneously. Or perhaps employ an access delay of some sort.

QuickOldCar Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 In my opinion godaddy is good for registering domain names and not hosting. I also feel a dedicated or a very good vps is the only way to go, otherwise most likely have issues somewhere. Shop around for best hosting and try to find one in your budget, pay the little extra for your sanity. ovh.com is very reliable https://www.ovh.com/us/vps/vps-classic.xml Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/293827-how-can-you-estimate-a-performance-specification-based-on-entry-processes/#findComment-1502494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose-en-a-gant Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah I am looking for cheap hosting for basic site requirements but I may find that a VPS or Dedicated server is better and purchasing new dedicated IP's These aren't for me but for customers, I need to have some on hand and ready to go rather than buy it for them I like their SSL deals that come with their best shared hosting plan / a new account or something Thanks for your response Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/293827-how-can-you-estimate-a-performance-specification-based-on-entry-processes/#findComment-1502499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
