[How To] 508 Error - Resource Limit Is Reached

GlowHost is using CloudLinux on shared servers. That means that all accounts are isolated from each other in order to prevent resource overusage that may lead to server overload and influence on other accounts.

At the same isolation of accounts improves security level of the server. In case one account is hacked, the attacker won't be able to get any access to other accounts on the same server.

In case you face 508 error at your website, telling that "Resource Limit Is Reached", it means that your account started overusing allocated resources. If it was a simple CentOS-based shared server, such an account could just overload the whole server (and even bring it down) affecting other domains. CloudLinux helps to prevent such issues and get accurate information on resource consumption.

You can find logs and statistics in cPanel -> Resource Usage.
