I've shared accounts with 3 providers: 2 MB/s, 25 MB/s, and 40 MB/s is the disk I/O, and IOPS are 1024, 1024, and 7*** respectively.
In my personal experience related to wordpress sites I host with them, it never reaches 25 MB/s as RAM and CPU limits hits first.
Below 10 MB/s - I will never use such provider.
I/O usage 25 MB/s on shared hosting? It looks like I need to cancel this 1 MB/s host provider.
Depending on how the server is setup, once the page is visited once all subsequent visits in the next X minutes will probably be cached so testing IO in the span of a few minutes won't work. You can test it by hitting a bunch of dynamic pages at once, but depending on compression it might not work either. If you're worried about the performance of your website, IO should really be the last thing you need to be looking at because the biggest IO bottleneck would most likely by MySQL but this isn't impacted by any LVE limits in CloudLinux.
I will say 5 MB/s is also acceptable. I've had a really heavy website on a hosting with that limit and performed great until some point.
I had a customer with 1 MB/s on GoDaddy, what a headache!
what exactly do you mean?
You've never heard the expression "never ask a woman her age" ? It's along those lines (sizes being breasts, hips, etc)
plastic surgery could help them!.
If you haven’t got the website content, ignore the specifications. Just concentrate on building the website, if you run into issues running it in production, move to other providers. Why bothering testing and requesting to increase the IO when you haven’t need it yet?
Because I'm still within their "Money Back Guarantee policy".
Why should I pay for a whole year if I won't be able to use it?
Just change your provider for something better.
Name and shame
I think they have their family to feed. Let their customers to decide.
I would just ask for full refund.
Yep, so it's a fair reason. I think you should ask for a refund.
so...2 days ago, I opened a ticket asking for refund.
They said "We have set default I/O Usage limit as 1 MB/s. For courtesy we will increase your I/O usage limit upto 4MB/s."
Interesting. Anyway I/O Usage at 4MB/s still too low for SSD.
And they don't mention about the refund. Look like they are playing game to get me over the "Money Back Guarantee policy".
Even webhostpython.com did not increase my I/O. they offer only 2 MB/s and asked me to upgrade to VPS if I expect 25 MB/s I/O
Take the 4MB/s, you won't use more
