The error 508 Resource Limit Is Reached can be translated as 508 The resource limit has been reached. It appears when your hosting account is persistently exceeding the resources assigned to the account.
The monitored resources are:
- Cpu
- Virtual Memory
- Memory****Physics
- Number of concurrent processes.
- Input and output operations per second.
All these resources are managed through Cloudlinux. Cloudlinux is the operating system we use on all our servers and allows us to prevent a single hosting account from devouring the resources of the entire server.
Typically, the 508 Resource Limit Is Reached error message can mean three things:
- Your hosting is under attack. Possibly because the programs you use are insecure or incorrectly installed or configured. Ask one of our technicians to install a security package on your website.
- The plugins or templates that you have installed have some programming error. Maybe they devour memory. Maybe they never close processes. Make sure that **all the programs you use are updated to their latest **version.
**Your website is so successful that you need a superior hosting plan. **The one you currently have is not enough and you will have to pay a little more to accommodate all the concurrent users you have. It is easy to understand that a page with 1000 users per month is not the same as another with 100,000 users per month. In this case, you must consult with our commercial team to adjust your plan to a service that suits your needs.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS ERROR?
The main objective is to maintain the stability and quality of the service that we offer to ALL our clients. If your website is affected by this message, we assure you that it has a solution, but your needs will have to be dimensioned so that all clients have the service they deserve.
** THIS SITUATION HAPPENS TO ME ON MY UNLIMITED HOSTING SERVICE, WHERE I HAVE 80 DOMAINS INSTALLED, WHAT CAN I DO?**
We have clients with 80 or more domains on the same hosting service who have never seen this message, and others with 1 or two domains and have seen it every day. Surely only one or two of your domains are devouring all the resources. Ask our support department to help you identify what they are. Perhaps the simplest solution is to install those domains with the most resource needs on a separate hosting account.
How can I see the reason for the 508 error in my control panel?
If your provider allows you, (we allow our clients to access this information) you can see when and for what reason, your website is touching the limits assigned to your hosting account. You just have to go to your control panel and search by Metrics, the section where you have the statistics of your website, and within this section you will have a button that says Resource Usage. When you enter you will be able to see the latest incidents or if everything has gone well, you will see a message like this:
You see that there is a button that puts details. Upon entering you will be able to see the specific statistics that show the performance of your website, and if there are problems, in what aspect your website is having problems in resource consumption.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ON MY END?
We have realized that on many occasions, a website can generate this problem because the code it is using is poorly designed, or perhaps a plugin is causing problems. Always try to have the latest version of the software you use installed, and if you can temporarily disconnect the plugins you are using. Maybe one of them is causing the problems.
Be sure to check your error logs. Many times there you can find good clues to identify where the problem is.
