Thread: throttling and wordpress
Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by Armandn
Hi, I moved to Bluehost a few days ago and I am a little puzzled by how throttling works. I see it as a penalty for excessive CPU usage, am I wrong on that? I have 2 Wordpress sites.

The CPU throttling is actually a fairly new implementation. In the past if a site was found eating up resources on one of the shared servers, then that site would have been suspended. The owner would then have to go in and clean up whatever scripts or whatever was causing the problem. But until the offending site was found, all of the other users of that server would suffer.
