Hi. Tell me, can CMS create load on the CPU? And some moments, just going through the roof, and the host does not support. I think that during the addition of material.

Yes its called IO (input output) and Process.  


Programs do three basic things, input/process/output


There are more and more hosts out there which are limiting IO and bandwidth so i am not surprised that you are being limited.  Some of the larger older hosts still offer alot of flexibiliy in this area so it depends on your host. 


The process part not only includes the code execution, it also includes the database queries (and in a CMS there can be many upon many of those), sending email, parsing pages, and many others. 


So i would suggest that if you are going to run a CMS that you have four choices. 


1. get a better host with less limits

2. get a VPS

3. get a Dedicated Server

4. keep your CMS very small to stay within your host limits.


If you are new to running a CMS or new to being an Admin i would suggest you look at some youtube vids on server management and learn how things work behind what you see on the screen.  :)
