Disk space will be the total allowed space you will get on a
hosting plan. All your files, web site, emails and other related
information will store into your own account and will calculate
as total used disk space. This will include:
- Web files and all uploaded files
- Mail boxes including inboxes, trash boxes, custom
created boxes, attachments, etc.
- Statistic information which will store in /tmp folder of
the account and will use to create usage information by
statistic software including Webalizer, Analog and AWStats
- Mailing lists including lists information, subscribed
users and archives
- Databases including MySQL and PostgreSQL data
- Password information of password protected folders
If you install FrontPage Extensions based on size of your web
site you will need 30% to 50% more disk space than you
calculate.
Note: Having enough free disk space is so important, If your
account goes over disk quota many services will not work
correctly, this will include:
- Mail system, You will not be able to receive any email
- CGI and PHP scripts that use databases or want to modify
or create some sort of files.
- Databases could currant
Therefore we recommend you to keep enough free disk space all
the time.
You can check the total and free disk space in hosting
control panel. Login and check it at the left side under
"General Account Information" box:
There are two useful parts in control panel regarding disk
space and disk usage:
"Disk Usage Report" will give you a report on disk usage on each
folder, Disk Cleanup is a cleanup utility which purge "Trash"
files and emails, It can also purge unwanted statistic
information and disable them if you don't need a specific
statistic program. |
