Yes, I do not do it every day, but when the amount of data, even if only a few at a time, often comes a message like this: "** Resource Limit Is Reached ** The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it is exceeded resource limit. Please try again later " my provider says that it is civiCRM that consumes a lot of resources when importing data and says it should probably be set differently, about this problem

Answers.Text: I disagree with him. CiviCRM might use a lot of resources for importing, but that is almost impossible to avoid if you are importing many records. In my experience I only encounter this problem if I try to import a few thousand of contacts? But it could well be that you only bought a limited space and that you will need to upgrade to a more expensive hosting contract. Alternative is that you develop or get someone to develop a specific import if you need to do this often.
