We upgraded to the Business Plan and now its fast again. 79 euro something. The nice man said unlimited bandwidth too. I dont know how many sites we have now maybe 60? My nephew moved some of his friends sites onto it.

This thread is why I rent bare metal in Helsinki and configure nginx by hand. Control panels hide the rot.

So if I have 2 sites on Time4VPS and its slow with plugins, should I ask them to move me to a faster node? Or is that not how it works?

This is actually helpful data for us. Our shared nodes start alerting at around 80-100 cPanel accounts with active sites, but thats not a hard throttle, just us moving people to less loaded hardware. We dont count "sites" per se, we count accounts and their resource usage.

I had the same thing with Hetzner
Meant to say: their Storage Share product, not VPS. Hit some kind of limit around 30GB of photos, upload speed dropped to nothing. Support said "fair use." Switched to their Storage Box instead, no issues since.

I am on Hetzner CPX31 in Falkenstein, 12 sites, mostly static. No throttling yet. Their network is excellent from Vienna.

We dont use cPanel, we use DirectAdmin on our Bratislava nodes. Cheaper license, lighter overhead. Can squeeze maybe 120-150 accounts before the IO wait kills it. But we tell people 50 max.
