I had to upgrade my hosting service to the top tier within three months to GO Geek Plan which ... More is supposed to be the most generous plan, and yet I kept running into "Node limits" "CPU overage limits" file count limits, traffic limits .... never ending! I even had to DELETE vital email accounts (I only had 8 on the server - no where near 'unlimited') to get things to work. Both my websites kept crashing and returning server 500 errors due to some limit or another. NON OF WHICH WAS MADE CLEAR when I forked out a full two year term for 380$. When I asked for a refund on more than a whole UNUSED year portion they flat out declined any refund. DON'T GO THERE. (And in case you are wondering I only have 2 magento websites with less than 100 visits a day and one wordpress website much less visited. ) Less
