Swap is super helpful if you’re running a web server on a 1GB RAM 2 CPU Linode instance!!

Be careful with that

I think some providers prevent full usage of a VPS in the ToS

Are you sure? Because that's fucking dumb. If it was alà ISP, then it is understandable. Most ISP CANNOT GUARANTEE the maximum advertised speed, not outright violating ToS when you are able to use those full speed. Big difference there.

It depends on weither you are on the shared CPU plan. I'm quite sure but I think they may have ram limits along with CPU limits.

Maybe it is a violation when you are doing it all the time? Like, 24/7 you are using the whole resources available. Then yeah, I could see it.
