What are the specs (most specially RAM allocation) for FREE account?

like the title says...
What is the spec on free account and the RAM limit?
I ask because on another server my php scripts seem to be hitting the RAM limit (1GB usually) causing Error 500 Internal Server Error


Thanks

What is the spec on free account and the RAM limit?

look down left side of [ cPanel-x3 theme ] ( not x10hosting Basic) home page - you might need to open ( click on ) [ Stats ]

You'd need either Infinty+ One (Premium) or an S3 level VPS (both at around $20/month) to step over 1GB RAM, by the way, and you may need more. Much cheaper, usually, to do something about the space complexity of your code if it's something that needs to run more than once in a blue moon, or to off-board the process if it's a big process that needs to happen quite infrequently. If it's something in the middle (big process, can't be smooshed, needs to happen often-ish but not often enough to justify paying for that huge resource full-time), then an elastic resource that bills to the second is probably your best bet.

hi guys
great replies, thanks men.

@lylex10h, extra thanks for the comparssion doc, really helpful. however it doesn't seem to say anything about the entry process limit though.. because on FREE account my site is hitting these errors:

You have reached entry processes (number of simultaneously running php and cgi scripts, as well as cron jobs and shell sessions) limit 38 times

I/O operations per second were limited for your site

You're allowed 5 concurrent EPs. Going by your other thread, it looks like your client-side is rather chatty. The Free Hosting servers are free because they're more crowded than a paid shared hosting server would be; your share of the runtime is limited so that other people have some available.

are the limits the same w/ paid accounts?

Also, my scripts are light-weight and outputting small data sets only. I have them on auto-refresh every 5 or so seconds (updating counters/tickers) .. my issue is on initial page load .. once the page has loaded the 5 second reloads doesn't have any issues. I let it ran all night and no issues till morning. once again it's pretty light and it's just like a user visiting a plain text php page every 5 seconds.
