Namecheap hosting policy no cron job less than 15 min | Forum

Hi, 


I was just notified that my oxwall site that i set up violated the Namecheap hosting policy TOS because i have my cron set to 1x a minute.  They claim that having crons functioning any sooner destabilizes their servers. 


It was just a warning and they adjusted the time on the cron to 1x every 15 minutes for me. 


Question is - how is this going to effect my site? 


This is just a test site where i test out plugins and Oxwall itself.  So i assume the effect is limited if you can confirm that.   But also i would like to know what is the effect if this was a full blown site with all the activity of such? 


Please advise on both..


Thanks

Dave

Hello Dave, 


long time no see:)). 

The only effect will be like that: 


For example if cron runs every minute, the users are logged out from website after 30 minutes of inactivity. in your case it will be 45 minutes. 

Second, your users get email notifications within 5-10 minutes if cron runs every minutes, in your case there will be a delay of 15 minutes, so you're looking at 25 minutes That's all.
