ChemiCloud Starter Limits 2026: 2GB RAM, 1 CPU, 250K Inodes
The short answer
**Quick verdict:** ChemiCloud Starter is a one-site shared-hosting plan with **20GB NVMe, 2GB RAM, 1 CPU core and 250,000 inodes**, plus roughly **25K monthly visits guidance** and **10 days of daily backups**. For a small WordPress site, the practical limits are more useful than the headline "unlimited" bandwidth/email wording.
At a glance
- Best for
- One modest site that fits 1 CPU, 2GB RAM, 250K inodes and short backup retention.
- Price model
- Current live Starter display; verify checkout and renewal
- Check first
- One CPU, 250K inodes and 10-day backup history remain finite despite unlimited bandwidth/email wording.
2GB RAM is generous, but CPU is still one core
Starter gives the account **2GB memory and 1 CPU core**. A cached brochure or content site may fit comfortably, but imports, heavy plugins, backup compression, image processing and uncached admin work still share one CPU core. Use the visit number only as a rough sizing guide; application complexity matters more than raw monthly visits.
250K inodes can become the file-density ceiling
Starter publishes **250,000 inodes**. WordPress core, plugins, thumbnails, cache files, logs, email and staging leftovers all consume file count. A site can remain well under 20GB while still accumulating many small files, so monitor inode growth separately from disk usage.
Ten daily backups are a recovery window, not permanent history
Starter lists **10 days of backups**. That is useful for recent rollback, but it is a short retention window. Keep an independent copy for business-critical data and test restore workflow before relying on the provider copy alone.
Unlimited bandwidth/email does not mean unlimited resources
ChemiCloud uses unlimited wording for bandwidth and email on Starter, while CPU, RAM, storage and inodes remain finite. Treat "unlimited" as absence of a simple headline quota in that category, not permission to ignore the rest of the account's resource envelope.
Migration and refund windows should be used to validate fit
ChemiCloud allows eligible migration requests within **60 days**, while qualifying first-time Shared/WordPress purchases have a **45-day money-back window** subject to exclusions. Move the real site early enough to observe CPU behavior, file count, backup retention and support workflow before the refund period closes.
What current reviews reinforce
Independent reviews similarly warn buyers to look beyond the promotional display and evaluate resource limits, backups and renewal behavior.
**Bottom line:** Starter is strong for one modest site when **1 CPU, 2GB RAM, 250K inodes and a 10-day backup window** match the workload. The limit most likely to surprise a file-heavy WordPress site is inode growth, not the 20GB disk alone.
