serverFFS has estimated a standard resource usage for all types of game servers they offer. When your server exceeds this limit for a period of time, your server will be restarted. I think they are the only SA:MP server host that does this, but think about it from another perspective.
Let's say server owner A has a server that frequently uses too much CPU. Server owner B decides to buy a server from serverFFS and owner B's server is installed onto the same server as owner A's server. Owner A's server starts hogging all the resources, and then owner B's server lags and starts dropping connections. Server owner B contacts support, only to be told that nothing can be done because server owner A is using up all the server's resources.
At the end of the day, it's either a script or SA:MP issue, and it really has nothing to do with serverFFS. serverFFS are just limiting resource usage to make it fair for everyone, which is perfect, and exactly how it should be done. Also note that they won't restart servers that peak at high CPU usage, they only do it if it uses that amount of CPU for a decent period of time.
