Hi, I just want to know What is the server configuration or Resources like CPU core, ram, and other configurations allocated to the free hosting account so anyone can compare free account configuration and decide to move on paid premium hosting plans that they can meet their requirements.
Hi
Memory limit = 128 MB
CPU - we do not know or is a secret
If it is even the newest and most powerful CPU that exists - That information means nothing to you when you make a comparison because the server resources are shared among the users.
That processor is not assigned exclusively to you (not the dedicated resources).
For that reason, well-managed hosts pay a lot of attention to limiting the server resources for each user to avoid deliberate or unintentional abusing the server resources and consequently overloading the server.
RAM and CPU are still important for a shared hosting account, but not to the extent most users think.
It’s much more important how hosting manages its servers and monitors resource-intensive tasks rather than the number of MB, GB and CPU it allocates for a shared hosting account.

The limits are classified, and also quite useless.
For example, the CPU limit is typically expressed in percentage of a core. But not all cores are the same. Being able to use 100% of a core sounds much better than having only 50% of a core, but if the former is a 15 year old Core2Duo desktop CPU, and the latter is a brand new EPYC server CPU, then that last one will be able to handle much more traffic (and be a lot faster too).
And our daily CPU limit is based on CPU seconds. Many other hosting providers calculate this metric in different ways than we do or use different metrics altogether. And again: faster hardware means less CPU time to do the same work.
The reason hardly any hosting provider advertises these metrics is because you can’t compare them across providers.

Thanks for the reply …it is very useful and knowledgeable for me… it is just curiosity cause when we browse premium plans and they have provided specific resource limits and specifications in those planes … its vary from hosting company to company so i just want to know about that…again thanks for the reply.

And like I said: they don’t mean anything when comparing them across providers.
Some providers use them to distinguish the difference in server power between two different plans. But you can’t really compare plans from different providers with those values.
