The World Interface
Go to Web Hosting –> Ressource Management –> The World (Shared):
Resources
The upper part of the interface shows the distribution of resources allocated to all your hosting accounts:
- CPU is the ratio between the number of microprocessor cores requested at a given time by all accounts and the maximum number of cores of the hosting.
- Memory is the ratio between RAM memory in GB currently used by accounts 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 accounts and the maximum number of I/O operations.
Account creation requires a minimum of 1 CPU core, 1GB RAM and 1 MB IO/s. The maximum resources per hosting account are 8 CPU cores, 24 GB RAM and 24 MB IO/s.
Resources Allocation
The resources of each account are displayed next to them:
Searching for the Informations Related to an Account
By entering the keywords associated with accounts in the Search field, the accounts are immediately displayed under Resources allocation:
Changing the Resources of an Account
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 accounts.
- Click on the Edit icon next to the account whose resources you wish to modify:
- Modify the resources of the account 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 accounts 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 -> Hostings window, where, via the Manage icon, you can increase the resources according to your needs and pay the bill (please refer to The World: Getting Started Guide for the details).
