How much memory does wordpress.com allot to each account?
-
How much memory is allotted to each account? I’ve spoken with some shared WordPress hosts. It seems like they’re generally between 256 and 512 meg per process. How much does WordPress.com allot? Does it vary depending on the type of account: free, premium, or business?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not a clue – but if you are asking about how much traffic your blog can take, don’t worry. There have been some blogs that got hit with I think 1,000,000 page views in a day and the staff did their magic and not a problem. You are on the same system as such lightweights as CNN.com.
You have 3GB of media storage before you need to buy an upgrade – words however don’t count for the 3GB

The amount of storage varies with upgrades. Please understand there aren’t different types of account: there are different upgrade bundles. If your upgrade bundle includes the storage upgrade, you get more storage.

Random-access memory is a form of computer data storage. The information we have access to is:
All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. If you need more space you can purchase a Space Upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/Please provide a context for your question and concerns so we can determine the relevance they have in the context of blogging here at wordpress.com. As the two other Volunteers answering and myself have been here for many years longer than staff has been on staff, we need to know in what way do you think the the amount of RAM currently affects, and will continue to affect your blogging here and in the future.

One of our pages is very long, just lots of links. On other hosts that we’ve used, at times, we were not able to update the page. One theory was that the hosts we were using did not allot us enough RAM to process the page updates. (One had 256 meg. The other was 512.) That’s why I’m interested in, specifically, the RAM allotment, which is used as a sort of temporary storage while the computer is processing information.
Many thanks!

Thanks so much for the explanation. Do be aware that any page with over links on it triggers search spiders suspect “link farm”. I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

If your page is 256 megs of links and whatever – it will be slow loading no matter what you do and I don’t think many people will find the page useful

Ok, thanks for all the help. I’ll look out for the response. It is a few hundred links, which I would think would not be a big deal – it’s just text. It seems like there’s some processing done by WordPress on each link, or something like that.
By the way, we had this issue even with all plugins disabled. I opened a free account on wordpress.com and just posted that page, and I haven’t had any problems yet. My concern is that we had the same experience on Godaddy’s managed wordpress hosting, and then shortly after we migrated to them, we started having the same problem – we couldn’t make changes to the page. That’s why I’d like to find out about the RAM before we switch again. If you want to check it out, it’s the “resources” page.
Thanks again!

I have a half-dozen pages with nothing but links — but they’re links to articles in the blog. Those pages function as a table of contents, so that my readers can locate older posts by subject. Each page has hundreds of links. They load quickly, and I routinely update them with a link to each new post. I’ve never encountered any problems.

I have the same thing happening for internal links to my posts (index pages). However as this thread has been tagged for Staff us posting into it is simply moving the timestamp further ahead and that means it will take longer for cszendro2014 to get an answer.
