This article contains some information that applies only to a version of the product prior to the redesign.
The interface allows you to see an overview of the overall resources of your shared Web Projects. You can also manage the resources allocated to each and request additional resources as needed.
To complement this article, we invite you to watch this video, which describes the advantages of resource management as well as the PlanetHoster interface.
The PlanetHoster Glossary contains explanations on multiple topics and can be consulted to clarify certain terms
Prerequisites

“The World” Interface
Go to My Hostings –> Ressource Management –> The World (Shared):
Ressources
The top section of the interface shows the distribution of resources allocated to all of your Web Projects:
- CPU is the ratio between the number of microprocessor cores requested at a given time by all Web Projects and the maximum number of cores of the hosting.
- Memory is the ratio between RAM memory in GB currently used by the Web Projects and The World’s maximum memory quantity.
- Disk I/O is the ratio between the number of I/O operations in MB/s (at the time of execution of a combination of read and write tests) for all Web Projects and the maximum number of I/O operations.
Creating Web Projects requires a minimum of 1 CPU core, 1 GB of RAM, and 1 MB/s of I/O. The maximum resources per Web Project are 8 CPU cores, 24 GB of RAM, and 24 MB/s of I/O.
Resources Allocation
The resources of each Web Project are displayed next to them:

When you enter keywords associated with Web Projects in the Search field, the Web Projects are immediately displayed under Resource Allocation:
Modifying the Resources of a Web Project
When the message “You do not have enough resources to create a new World hosting account” is displayed, you can avoid the need to obtain additional resources with the associated costs by changing the resources allocated to one or more Web Projects.
- Click on the Edit icon next to the Web Project whose resources you wish to modify:
- Modify the resources of the Web Project using the sliders (the allocated resources are displayed in blue, next to the maximum allowed for each).
- Click on the Save button.
- A message confirming the success of the operation is displayed on the screen.
Obtaining Additional Resources
Sometimes, the entire global resource pool has been allocated to one or more Web Projects in your Portfolio, in which case a message is displayed. The interface allows you to obtain additional resources.
To do so:
- Click on the Order more resources button:
- This takes you to the Billing & Payments -> Hostings -> The World -> Modify Plan window, where you can increase the resources according to your needs and pay the bill (please refer to The World: Getting Started Guide for the details).
