Server Resource Usage

If Hetch's system administration team determines that an account is utilizing an unacceptable amount of system resources, Hetch may temporarily deactivate the account in question. If Hetch's staff deems it necessary, an eviction notice may be sent to the customer of an offending account providing them with seven(7) days in which to either upgrade to another hosting solution as recommended by Hetch staff. This only occurs in extreme cases; Hetch will do all it can to assist customers prior to this scenario.

As we are using CloudLinux OS to safeguard each account by isolating them all our shared hosting accounts are limited to a certain level of resources.

Following are our CloudLinux resource limits for cPanel shared hosting accounts:

  • 100% CPU Speed
  • 2 GB Physical Memory
  • 100 Number Of Processes (NPROC)
  • 20 Entry Processes (EP)
  • 10 MB/s I/O
  • 1024 IOPS
  • 2,50,000 Inodes (Every file a webpage, image, php file, directory, etc on your account is one (1) inode)

Our FTP shared hosting accounts (i.e Lite Plan) will share the above CloudLinux resource limits. A maximum of 10 Lite shared hosting accounts will share the above resources.

Database Restrictions

The MySQL Max User Connections is restricted to 30 and MySQL Max Connections is restricted to 350.

Database queries should not exceed 3000 per hour. Database changes (insert/update/delete) should not exceed 1000 queries per hour.

Database servers should not be used as a hosted solution. Database access should only be used for the website hosted by Hetch.

Remote database access is permissible only for administrative purposes.

Files and Directories

A single log file size should not exceed the plan storage limit or 1 GB. And the total size of all similar log files should not exceed 5 GB in size.

A directory cannot contain more than 2500 immediate child files. This includes sub-directories themselves but does not include files contained within those directories.

Cron Jobs

The minimum Cron Job Interval for all our shared web hosting plans is 30 minutes i.e A cron job should not execute more frequently than once every 30 minutes.

Email Accounts

We do not offer free email service / email accounts with any of our hosting plans. You may use professional email services for email hosting.

Backups

Hetch performs daily backups of Shared Hosting accounts with a Retention Period of the 30 Days; however, these backups are for Hetch's administrative purposes only, and are in NO WAY GUARANTEED! Customers are responsible for maintaining their own backups on their own personal computers. Hetch does not provide any sort of compensation for lost or incomplete data if backups do not function properly (even if the malfunction was due to negligence on Hetch's part). We will do our best to ensure complete and accurate backups but assume no responsibility for this duty. Always back your site up to your personal computer! We make no guarantees about the availability of backups.

Our primary backup system relies solely on JetBackup. We do not utilize the default cPanel backup system to generate account backups. You have the privilege to generate a manual backup of your entire account at any given time through JetBackup. Should you wish our team to manually generate a cPanel backup, be advised that such requests will incur a fee. Before initiating such a request, we recommend consulting with our Billing department to obtain a precise price quote.

You may not use your hosting account as a backup solution. Our Services are designed to host your website only and may not be used as a data repository. Hetch reserves the right to remove backups from your hosting account with or without notice.

We may also delete the following types of files if we find them to be using excessive amounts of disk space, especially if affecting other customers: (i) cPanel or other backups stored locally, (ii) Softaculous backups stored locally, (iii) Softaculous backup temp files, (iv) Common CMS backups stored locally, (v) Common CMS backup temp files, (vi) Common CMS backup logs, (vii) excessively sized error logs, and (viii) any other large files deemed unnecessary for core website functionality or not containing any valuable data. cPanel-generated backups stored on the server will be automatically deleted after fourteen (14) days.

While our backup system supports almost any characters for filenames (UTF-8), some special characters/symbols are generally best avoided as there are specific limitations across various filesystems and storage destinations that can cause unintended issues with your backups. This list is not exhaustive and is meant to help determine and avoid errors regarding filenames and your backups.

See Characters to Avoid When Naming Files and Folders

While our backup system generally performs backups for any files or folders, there are exceptions of files and folders that are excluded as there are specific limitations across various filesystems and storage destinations that can cause unintended issues with your backups. This list is not exhaustive and is meant to help avoid errors regarding your backups.

Account Activation

As we strive to maintain the highest quality of service standards we allow only genuine customers to onboard our services so near-instant account activations this is not always possible. Hope you understand our concern.
