At Stackhero, you are not restricted by a fixed limit on the number of simultaneous connections your server can handle. You have the flexibility to adjust this value directly from your Stackhero dashboard.

While it might seem appealing to set a very high connection limit, it is a good idea to choose a number that matches your actual usage. Each connection uses memory (RAM), so setting the limit too high could cause your system to run out of resources and potentially crash.
