What is a typical number of entry processes on a shared hosting?

If you are a shared hosting provider, please share honest answers what is the maximum number of "Entry Processes" that allowing on each shared package? why do you need to set this up?

Entry Processes (concurrent connections) are around 20 - 25 from what I've seen.

Concurrent connections are not the number of users allowed on your site at a time. It is instead the limit for users who are attempting to connect to a PHP or Perl script. 20 concurrent connections would be more than 20 requests a second (assuming the page takes one second to load). In another way, *insert limit here* users would need to visit your site at the same moment to hit this limit.

Hi BillEssley

An entry process is how many PHP scripts/ programs etc can be run at one. Each process should only take a fraction of a second to execute.
Hosting providers set this up to protect the server from excessive resource usage.

If the Provider using Cloudlinux The concurrent connection will be 20 by default ! More over Shared Packages comes with 20 by Default.

shared hosting is only for Small/Average Level Sites !

Mind you, 20 concurrent connections is alright. It'd be hard to get that limit reached for any average website, as it'd have to be at the *exact same time*.
I had a customer that was featured in the news - that limit wasn't reached, only the bandwidth.
