What do I mean by throttle



What do I mean by throttle? I mean they shut it down — they turn it off. Not
permanently, though; maybe for only a few minutes to an hour. They do this
to kill any connections to your Web server causing the spike in CPU use.
They eventually turn your site back on — but the inconvenience happens


 

regularly with many clients across various hosting environments.

 

When looking into different Web hosting providers, ask about their policy
on CPU use and what they do to manage a spike in processing. It’s better
to know about it upfront, than to find out about it after your site’s been
throttled.
