Server Cpu usage

My host allows 25% Cpu usage for about 90 seconds before suspensions of my account.

Lets let im running a site with 50kb pages, no cgi, no php scripts, no other fancy stuff, just plain html w/ images (And awstats).

How much Cpu usage would 1 visitor to my website incur?

Im trying to find the amount of visitors my site can support without going over 25% for 90 seconds.

My site being suspended would cause a bad loss in affilaite commisions.

 

If Plain html pages than the cpu usage will be minimum

 

I wouldn't worry about your cpu usage unless you're running large automated task's (ie: Cron jobs)

Depending on the cpu/s speed, a hundred unique visitors to a html page would be hardly noticable.

Also depends on how much ram the machine has etc

 

These factors depend maximum:

CPU Processor speed
RAM

If it has 512 MB RAM, you wouldn't even use 2% of memory on a P4 3.0 GHz HT processor

 

i assume he is on shared hosting so ram will surely be more than that

 

dont worry, thats a single process hogging 25% cpu for 90sec.

Child apache process are used for every page load...so I guess that'd be negligible as you have static site.

 

The single CPU hog is awstats. And that based on the modules loaded in the awstats config file.

 

hi i would also like an answer.
am running a proxy (PHP 0.5),how much will be the CPU usage???

 

That will use extra server for sure

 

Depends on how your proxy script is written. However based on my own experience apache2/php5 runs pretty much fatser then apache1.3/php4 about 10 % or more.

 

Ahh ok

Cpu speed is: Dual 2.4 GHz Intel Zeon processors.
Ram is 4 GB .

 

Worry not. i run a PowerEdge 2x3.2 with 8 GB ram and it's laughing at a heavy visited php/mysql/fms2/actionscript2 website using amfphp bridge. So your proxy script could barely tickle you ram and cpu
