Disk Space Web Hosting Hong Kong Guide

Questions Considered:

 

Introduction. Disk Space Concepts

Your account allows you to host your website, store incoming and outgoing mail, create and manage databases. These tasks require disk space on the hosting servers provided to you through individual resource quotas. Your account's plan may be, also, configured with summary disk usage to control disk space usage on an overall basis for all your disk space consuming resources combined together.

 

Individual Resource Quotas

Quotas are set separately for your home directory, each mailbox and DB and define how many MB you can store in it. You can't upload and store more MB than the resource's quota allows (except for MySQL DB's and PgSQL DB's) and will get an error message if you try to do so. Every 5 minutes the system scans your home FTP directory, mailboxes and DB's to see how much disk space is being used and updates the corresponding quota usage readings, so you can always check how many MB are being used by the resource and how many more MB can be uploaded.  

Increasing Quotas

To upload more MB than the resource's quota allows, you can increase it.
Learn how to increase quota for:

Resources' quotas can be max restricted which means you won't be able to increase it any higher when this limit is reached. To check how much you can increase your quotas to, go to Billing -> Online price and check the Max field in the quota's entry.

 

Summary Web Hosting Disk Space Usage

Average and Last Day Summary Disk Usage

Every 24 hours the system scans your FTP home directory, each of your mailboxes and DB's to summarize disk space used by these resources which makes summary disk usage for the last day. Summary readings of each daily scan are added up and divided by days elapsed from the beginning of the billing month to make your average summary disk usage.  If your hosting plan is configured with the summary disk usage resource, you will see both figures on your Account -> Quick Access page:

 

Summary Disk Usage Limit

Free disk space allocated for all your disk space consuming resources makes your initial summary disk usage limit. However, it doesn't stop you from using more disk space as quotas do. If you exceed it, you will be charged over limit fees (for details see Charges for Summary Disk Usage). To prevent it, increase your summary disk usage limit clicking the Edit icon next to the summary disk usage bar and entering a new summary disk usage limit. Summary disk usage limit can be max restricted which means you won't be able to increase it any higher when this limit is reached. To check how much you can increase your quotas to, go to Billing -> Online price and check the Max field in the summary disk usage entry.

Keep in mind that your hosting plan can be configured to suspend your account if you use your summary disk usage limit by certain percent. Before suspension, you would be usually warned by e-mail of approaching your limit.

Charges for Summary Web Hosting Disk Space Usage

If by the end of the billing month your average summary disk usage exceeds summary disk usage limit, you are charged usage (over limit) fees.

If you increase your summary disk usage limit, every month you will be charged recurrent fee which is usually less than usage fees.
