Frequently Asked Questions

How often are the graphs updated? The resource graphs update in near real-time. However, there may be a slight delay of a few minutes depending on server load.

Will I receive notifications by email? Yes, once you set up a resource notification, alerts will be sent to the email address associated with your account.

What should I do if my CPU or RAM is consistently high?
If your VPS is regularly hitting its resource limits, it may be time to consider upgrading to a higher plan. Check out our CloudVPS plans for options or open a support ticket and we can advise you.

Good to Know
Resource notifications are a great way to stay on top of your server health without having to manually check the graphs. Additionally, setting a notification threshold at around 80% gives you time to react before your server becomes unresponsive. If you have any issues with your service, open a support ticket through the client portal and our team will assist you.
