Hostinger premium plan exceeded with 40000 inode (files & directories). business plan comes with 600000 file limits. first off all lets comapre hostinger premium vs business plan and also with cloud startup.
Hostinger business palns vs premium short
price 1.7x higher than premium. files 400K vs 600k (Storage 100GB SSD vs 200GB NVME) and memory 500MB (1024 vs 1536) higher, same cpu cores which is one. disk peformance 2x than premium plan (12288KB/s vs 24576 KB/s . Php connections 50% extra (50vs 75) which is more crucial. memory limit, max post size, upload size 30% extra. (1536MB vs 2048MB. mysql max user connections 50% extra (50vs 75) mysql max query time (s) 2x (60s vs 120s).
my thoughts: file counts and NVME disk more php workers RAM and mysql connections. for 1.7x price its ok to price to performance ratio.
for Hostinger cloudsartup 2.8x price of business plan , 20M files 3x of files. 2x RAM 3GB, 2x cpu cores 2. disk, 4x disk IO (24576 KB/s vs 10 240 KB/s), 100 php workers & mysql connections (25% extra 75 vs 100) mysql storage limit 2x (3gb vs 6gb).
Big dffierence mysql imort size 1gb (200mb vs 1gb), mysql max query time (1800sec vs 120sec). mysql statement time (300s vs 1800sec).
Hostinger vps KMS 4: 4 cores, 16gb RAM , 200gb nvme, 16TB bandwidth 2th mons 849 1 year 949 year . digital ocean 2 cores $20 month. gcp 2 cores at 40$.

main limitation and when to upgrade
hostinger resources page tells your which one of the resources reaching limit.
Files limit you have to reduce files or deletet the unnessary data at least 75% below to limit 400K files limit 300K is better.
IOPS & RAM & CPU usage: if these frequenctly hitting you may get 503 service temporary avilable error. you must upgrade or buy other plan to keep website live for users.
Which plan to use ?
it depends on users and website load, if website is static no user login.
1st enable caching it will reduce lot database connections. without caching you may end of with higher plan.
also try cloudflare caching if it global users(problem cloudflare routes from far away datacenter for the user and cheap cost for the cloudflare it also have paid plan but cost only bears by enterprise 1$ for 1GB you can easily expecte 100$ per month based on bandwidth)
PHP memory limit in hostinger
1524MB good, in 2000s its 32MB later it went upto 512MB, but ideally it would be 60MB for users, wp-admin backed we may increase upto 512MB depends plugin usage.
Memory limit plus exectution time important .. here its 6 minutes or 360seconds.
and php process or wokers limits 40 for premium for 60 for business.
40 worker*1524MB * 6minutes = your account ram only upto 1536MB. even 1 php worker block whole RAM but there is a secuirty rules by hostinger for unndecessary requests.
good for performance and security.
mysql max_user_connections vs max_connections
max_connections = the total connection limit
max_user_connections = the per user limit
here at hostinger user connections applies to website and whole websites in the account. users made connections to the websites.(every databse has seperate user) if it root user just like vps server then no need of user level limits.
max connections includes user connections * number of users (10 datbases with 10 users 50*10=500 connections). unfortunately, mysql need upto 100MB for every connection if 10 connections made you are out of RAM.*
mysql memory limit per connection
ingneral managed mysql hosting plans includes lans under 4 GiB: 75 connections per gigabyte
Plans greater than or equal to 4 GiB: 100 connections per gigabyte
| variable_name | Description |
| global_connection_memory_limit | The memory limit for global connections. [1, 18446744073709551615] |
