How much space do my sites use on the server?

2014-02-13

Disk usage is shown on the "Dashboard": the "Usage" block, the "Disk" line (used / plan limit). The same block shows database size, file count and other limits. Resource usage charts are in "Statistics".

How much space do my sites use on the server?

To get the size of a single folder, open the "File manager", select the folder and click "Size".

What counts toward disk usage

  • account files (sites, logs, uploads, CMS cache);
  • mail;
  • databases.

What usually takes up space

If the disk fills up faster than expected, the cause is usually one of these:

  • site logs - clear them in "Logs" or set up "Rotation"; do not delete log files by hand;
  • CMS cache and logs (for example wp-content/cache, storage/logs in Laravel);
  • old archives and backups inside the account.

If you run out of space, increase the disk in billing (see "How to buy extra IPs, domains, databases, disk space or memory?").
