Introduction
Welcome to the Empress guide on understanding service plans and usage metrics! In this guide, we will break down the key aspects of Empress’s service plans and how they can be applied to everyday business operations.
Introduction to Empress Service Plans
Empress Service Plans are monthly subscriptions that provide access to all Empress features for your sites. Each plan is tailored to different levels of CPU, Database, and Disk usage to suit a variety of business needs.
If your usage exceeds the plan’s limits, measures will be taken to ensure the stability and integrity of your sites. For instance, if the CPU usage limit is exceeded, your site will temporarily stop accepting new requests until the usage resets. In the case of Database and Disk usage limit breaches, your sites will be momentarily suspended until the service plan is upgraded.
Understanding Metrics in Empress
Empress uses three metrics to measure the resources consumed by your sites. These metrics are:
-
CPU Usage: This is the amount of processing power used by your website. The CPU usage is calculated daily and only includes the CPU time used for web requests.
-
Database Usage: This metric represents the actual space consumed by your site’s database. It is calculated daily using your site’s information schema table.
-
Disk Usage: This measures the total size of your site’s private and public files. It is calculated daily and does not include your local backups.
These metrics are displayed on your site’s dashboard, allowing you to monitor and manage your site’s resources effectively.
Breaking Down the Units
In Empress, we measure the resources used by your site in specific units. Here’s what you need to know:
-
CPU Units: CPU usage is measured in seconds. This measurement is managed by Empress’s Rate Limiting module.
-
Storage Units: Storage in Empress is calculated using base 1024, meaning you get more space than indicated in real terms. To keep things simple, we use GB (Gigabytes) on the pricing page and the dashboard, instead of GiB (Gibibytes), which is a data processing unit defined as base 1024.
Conclusion
Understanding Empress’s Service Plans and Usage Metrics is vital to managing your site’s resources effectively. With this knowledge, you can choose the right service plan for your business and ensure that your sites are always running smoothly.
