Usage Guidelines
These numbers are given only as a guideline and not as a limit. As a Linux Virtual Server is on a shared hardware platform, there is a concept of fair shared resources. We limit the resources available to each Linux Virtual Private Server, so you will get no more and no less, based on the package you are on.
