Resource Usage
Resource Usage shows what your account uses right now, against the limits your provider set. Quotas and limits explains what each limit means and what happens when you reach one; this page has the numbers.
Overall Usage has one bar per resource:
| Resource | Shows |
|---|---|
| Storage | Your space against your allocation, split between home directory, databases, and mailing list archives. The "last updated" time is there because storage is measured at intervals, not live. |
| Processes | Running processes against the process limit. |
| Memory | What all your processes hold, against the memory limit. |
| CPU Usage | Current CPU use against your quota, measured when you load the page. |
| IO Weight | Your account's relative priority for disk I/O. A weight, not a cap. |
Every number is from this moment. If an app stopped an hour ago because memory was full, that peak isn't here; you only see whether you're near the limit now. Processes shows what uses the memory.
How the panel divides your storage
This surprises people. Storage Breakdown shows the arithmetic: the panel subtracts your database use from your total allocation, and what's left is the quota for your home directory. A database that grows by a gigabyte takes a gigabyte from your files.
Your mailing list archives count the same way: kept outside your home directory, subtracted from your allocation like the databases, and shown on their own line in Storage Breakdown.
Mail is stored inside your home directory, so it counts as file storage, not as a separate allocation.
Usage by service
Usage by Service splits processes, memory, and CPU between the things that use them: your websites, your mail, and your app servers.
Use it to tell "my site is busy" from "my background app's memory keeps growing", then find the process on the Processes page.
